“Has been discussed with a priest.”

You still need to have your marriage regularized. Did that ever happen? Did you get permission from your bishop for a Josephite marriage?

I really don’t care what you do. It’s your soul. The Church, however, teaches that you should have more than a civil marriage and you don’t have one. The Church also, if I am not mistaken, says you should have permission from your bishop for a Josephite marriage. You can’t pick and choose what Church teachings and laws you’re going to follow.

Can't quite picture how that would happen. Who is my bishop? I don't belong to any parish, nor am on the records of any diocese. I do not and will not attend Masses or ceremonies of any kind given by the apostacized Church (post Vatican II). I suppose we have a "virtual" parish, who get together to attend TLM Mass given by traveling priests. But I do not a priori and necessarily accept the authority of any bishop (or pope) ordained after the early 60s (the closest one was, no doubt; he is young).

The church is free to consider that we are not married; just living at two different ends of a house with shared rent. That pretty much sums it up. Maybe an FSSP priest can talk us into something else at some point, but we have no easy geographic access to one now. Plus he would have to give us hints he is not really into the post-conciliar thing.

I really don’t care what you do. It’s your soul.

What's the disposition of the soul got to do with it? We are chaste, no kids between us; I was never married before. So what's the problem? Room mates. Pew Mates.
