@PEI_Stormchaser @BoomerPEI I was looking forward to a good show. Heard thunder in North River around 3/330 and saw one lightning strike around 5 towards the river driving through Ten Mile House

@CatholicSat @_naosejasparva The advantage an SSPX has now, is that if they seek an annulment later in the church, there will be no record of the marriage and no marriage to annul.

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@CatholicSat @_naosejasparva In a manner of speaking, yes. It is presumed that a Catholic in good standing will want to follow the form laid out by the church. I think council of Trent was addressing clandestine marriages, so it's now required that a Catholic have the proper appointed witness, the priest.

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@AnnulmentProof Where are you getting that? It's about people thinking that divorce breaks the bond and are free to remarry. Totally different.

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@AnnulmentProof Canon 12 is referring to the validity of the marriage and protection of the sacrament, not strictly temporal and civic matters.

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@AnnulmentProof This rule was likely put in place to protect against rash judgements and actions. For good or ill the bishops have apparently delegated this to the court system.

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@AnnulmentProof Dude, you're better and smarter than this. A civil divorce does not affect the spiritual bond of marriage. This disciplinary rule can be ignored and modified at any time by the church without affecting teachings on marriage.

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@CDBreeler @CatholicSat Pope Francis gave them faculties to hear confessions and witness marriages validly on behalf of the church. And this was a special, very rare case. I don't believe any jurisdiction was conferred. Jurisdiction is tied to the episcopate for governance.

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@CDBreeler @CatholicSat What do you mean by jurisdiction? The SSPX was operating without any.

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@dixietrigger @brady_penfield I think that's what he's getting at. He participates in the liturgy the church has offered him, instead of looking elsewhere for his preferences.

@bobdad240207 @AnnulmentProof You're from Quebec? My paternal homeland. Montréal and eastern townships had horrible child mortality in 1800s. Our family records show many deaths before 2 years of age.

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@bobdad240207 @AnnulmentProof Breastfeeding is used as an integral part of NFP for many couples. Some managing to delay cycle returning for 2 years or more.

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@bobdad240207 @AnnulmentProof Where my grandparents were in late 1800s/early 1900s Quebec, child mortality was 40%

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@bobdad240207 @AnnulmentProof The highest average fertility recorded of any country was Rwanda at 8 children. The hutterites peaked in the USA at 11 children in the 1930s.

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@AnnulmentProof @bobdad240207 We were 27 when we started and used breastfeeding and NFP and still made 10 babies in 16 years. Our potential, barring unexpected health/fertility issues, would have been at least 20 if we started at 19/20 years of age.

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@AnnulmentProof @bobdad240207 In the 1800s my family were averaging 12 plus pregnancies, with only 6 to 8 surviving. But they were shooting in the dark. God's gift of reason has led to us having much better aim.

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@AnnulmentProof @bobdad240207 Why do you say zero planning? Knowledge is responsibility. Since non procreative sex is sinful, we can easily figure out when we should be having sex. Breastfeeding gets used for planning as well, so eliminate that. Medical advances for safe birth. We should be pushing 16+

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@AnnulmentProof @bobdad240207 Why would anyone do that 14 times to make one baby? If you're healthy, it should be 2 to 3 times.

[Philip Beaulac @BeaulacPhilip]

@AnnulmentProof @bobdad240207 My paternal grandparents had 19 in 22 years. Why only 13 or so?
