'What happens when even implicit faith is absent from a marriage? When this is lacking, of course, even if the marriage has been celebrated libere et recte," it could be invalid. This leads us to maintain that, in addition to the classical criteria for declaring the invalidity of marriage, there must be further reflection on the case in which the spouses exclude the sacramental nature of marriage. Currently we are in a phase of study, of serene but tenacious reflection on this point.'
