You might also want to consider that it’s the Lord’s place to judge, not ours. Reject the arguments the offender presents, steadfast in your Christian principles. But beware that you are not doing so out of a sense of moral superiority, which is nothing more than the sin of Pride.

Be confident in your faith; let him be the doubter.

So a Catholic that is married to a Presbyterian is living in sin?

Love the sinner, hate the sin.

"It would be seriously wrong to help the invalidly marrying Catholic to find, rent, buy or furnish living quarters to be used after the wedding.

It would be seriously wrong to offer hospitality, assistance or facilities for the honeymoon of the invalidly married Catholic."

Would this also apply to Catholic owned businesses? Would a "Don't ask, Don't tell" policy be allowed/advised?

There is a video on YouTube of a woman about to be stoned to death for adultery. She begs her father in Arabic, "forgive me," which if he does she will be spared. He says "no" and she is stoned to death.

What do you think the Messiah will say at the Judgment ? I realize the posted article is from 1957. Is stoning a Catholic to death for being in an invalid marriage an option ?

Would you pick up a stone, walk away, or speak out in mercy for the condemned ?

May we keep up some contact with them?

This sounds like shunning, a practice I do not think that the Catholic Church supported. Individual priests or bishops may have advocated it, but not church doctrine.

I could never understand the Catholic church's stance on divorce. My dad was raised a devout catholic, was an alter boy, and married in a Catholic church.

That all changed when he divorced my mom back around 1955 and he was kicked out of the church.

Is a marriage that is never consummated valid?
