Laudate_Dominum Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 A couple who is blatantly living in sin (fornication) and has no intention of repenting or anything is not fit for Christian Marriage. For a priest to pretend its ok would be a serious injustice and lack of charity toward the couple. If they were told about the gravity of their state but obstinately stay in a sinful relationship (which would be different then trying to do the right thing but having a fall or falls) they would be in mortal sin and wouldn't be fit for the Sacraments. If the couple is ignorant of the Church's teachings in this area the priest would have the obligation to inform them. If they have not embraced Christian chastity, quite frankly they are not ready to enter into the Sacrament of Marriage. more later.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
