The rules on Josephite marriage have not changed.

The only applicable suggestion (not given by you) is to have the marriage blessed. I do not have a "Catholic" marriage and did not intend to, could not have had one because I did not intend to have progeny due to circumstances of which you are not aware. I do not believe God condemns me to hell because of those circumstances beyond my control.

“The only applicable suggestion (not given by you) is to have the marriage blessed.”

That’s not the only applicable suggestion but I could see where a cafeteria Catholic or de facto sedevacantist might see reality that way.

“I do not have a “Catholic” marriage and did not intend to,”

That’s odd for someone who has claimed to be Catholic on his own profile page: “I am a circa 1950’s traditional Catholic. . . Catholics and Catholicism must remain steadfast over time, refusing to comport with the constantly renewed evils of popular culture.”

“could not have had one because I did not intend to have progeny due to circumstances of which you are not aware.”

Circumstances are not at issue here. You either have a Catholic marriage or you don’t. Don’t claim you have a Josephite Marriage - which is a Catholic practice albeit uncommon - if you’re going to turn around and say, “I do not have a “Catholic” marriage and did not intend to,”

“I do not believe God condemns me to hell because of those circumstances beyond my control.”

Positively consenting to a marriage is NEVER beyond your control. Your comments make no sense. You claim you got what you intended. That means it was within your control. Your “marriage” may not condemn you. Your actions - in which you don’t believe Church laws and practices apply to you and you do whatever you want - might.
