Carrie Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Regardless of what your friend may say, it does not dispute what is in the Catechism. You asked for quotes and Theoketos provided them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Adam Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 (edited) I am aware of that Carrie. Teresa, the canon lawyer and Theoketos quotes of canon law do not disagree. Edited August 3, 2005 by Brother Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoketos Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 [quote]She liked 'generational' idea and thought it was ideal, but agreed there are exceptional circumstances when two people of an even wider age gap could get married.[/quote] I do not think that any one in arguing with the ideal, and it would be "gross" and a suspecious relationship, because it seems that there would be other motives besides the procreative and unitve aspect And a huge disparity of maturity. And so I think that is what you have a problem with Adam, is a lack of Mature Love. So that is why a huge age range seems weird, maturity, not fertility. (I think the ideal fits well into my formula Y/2 + 7 = X ) And Canon Law does provide for an age minimum to be set by the local ordinaries. So age does matter with in proper context.

And motives besides procreative and unitive? I'm not buying that. Actually I'd see marrying a younger woman as being connected with this because a younger woman would likely have more child bearing years, and a younger woman would also be likely to have less relationship baggage which would help the unitive side. You can't have a formula like that, it's silly. But I don't have a problem with people having a personal preference, but love is not as simple as a little math formula.

avemaria40 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I'm only 16 so i would say at maximum for my age, 2 years, because at this stage in my life, if u go over a certain age, ur both at different stages of development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that this is, in a large part, what Carrie and Noel were talking about, and I agree with them, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Well I spoke with a canon lawyer earlier today and posed this question. [i]If a 247 year old man wanted to be wed to a fetus in its second trimester, where would the Church stand on that? [/i] He had no opinion on the matter. I think my point has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
