Talk:Canonical impediment

  • The text needs some work to specify which cases are "may not"and which are "cannot": that is, which are matters of liceity and which of validity. Some of the impediments (e.g., disparity of cult) are, if I understand aright, not matters of validity.

Also, sources should be cited for this article. Chonak 06:39, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I don't know much about ordination, but the part of this article that relates to marriage is in need of major editing. Being a bold Wikipedian, I will dive in.

As regards disparity of cult, it is a diriment (invalidating) impediment, but since it is part of ecclesiastical law as regards its invalidating nature, it only invalidates a marriage between a Catholic and a non-Christian. -- Cat Whisperer 03:27, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notes on Marriage Edits

Just some notes as I go -- Cat Whisperer 04:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Many of the items previously listed as impediments are actually factors of matrimonial consent instead, so I've moved them to a separate category.
  • Local bishops cannot set minimum ages; only episcopal conferences can.

There is still much more to go, but I'm getting tired for now.

(above comment by Cat Whisperer).

  • Thanks for giving this article a boost. I'll look forward to its further refinement. Chonak 06:12, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
