Two elderly people were recently married in my church. I believe they were both in their 70's. They may have sex but conception is surely not going to be the result. Would this bishop have allowed this marriage?

I think the bishop was off the mark here. He's the bishop though and what he says goes in his diocese. If I were that man I'd find another bishop. Does the bishop not belive in the healing power of God. Is he certain that God will never allow a healing in this man? What about adoption? Adopted children deserve a loving two parent home as much as any other child.

I'm as Catholic as the Pope but I think this bishop was dead wrong.

Would this bishop have allowed this marriage?

To reiterate for the umpteenth time: there is a difference between infertility and impotence.

I'm as Catholic as the Pope but I think this bishop was dead wrong.

The bishop is following the Code of Canon Law, which is promulgated by this Pope as much as any other.
