I find the R.C. church's stand on marriage as related to ones disability or inability to have sex {in the context of being able to have children} rather amusing and somewhat misguided and way out of date for medical advances of today.. I know why it was written but pardon my wording they know not what they are talking about.

Your opinion is premised upon an incorrect understanding of what the Church actually teaches. As to procreation, [it] has nothing to do with ability to and everything to do with openness to with acknowledgement that miracles as well can happen IF one is open to God's will. As well, looking at 'medical advances' the Church remains steadfast in teaching that evil means regardless noble intent remain evil and prohibited. NO ends justify evil means.

I think sometimes GOD's Will and Church Dogma or Doctrines are not one and the same. Thus through The Holy Spirit's interaction with the person comes discernment between the two. In other words correction. A prohibition of marriage on the disabled unable to consummate a marriage is ridiculous and actually stands in the way of what should be a Christian's walk in life.
