I was thinking Schiavo was Catholic. I still have trouble with them having a church wedding. I think the fact they mocked marriage by living together for so many years while Terri Shindler was still alive. Would be enough reason for any priest or pastor to suggest a simple ceremony by the Justice of the Peace.

What sense would it make for a priest to encourage a Catholic to marry OUTSIDE the Church?

Like it or not, the Catholic Church naively believes that Jesus came for sinners.

Maybe your Church is made up of saints.

I am Catholic and I know the church certainly is not made up only of saints. Quite simply I would argue that allowing the marriage to take place in Church creates a scandal to the faithful.
