“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

This is so cool.
Prayers going out for the engaged couple. :-))
Of course, if canonical form weren’t — oh, never mind.
RichR: “This is so cool.” I have to agree. As a widow I am a tiny bit jealous of this new engagement.
Both of them must have had good marriages before. I would like to do it again. However, God seems to be calling me to remain a ‘dedicated widow’ as some of us say.
Forgot to say, I also will offer them an Our Father, at least.
Also speak to a civil lawyer. If you marry ONLY in the Church there will be no impact on your Social Security. If you marry civilly as well as in the Church there may well be a decrease in Social Security benefits.
Congratulations to this couple and other couples called to the vocation of Holy Matrimony.
To other Catholic widows out there, don’t undervalue consecrating (even privately) your widowhood to God Whom you can dedicate yourself to in singleness of heart and in loving service to your neighbor. Humanly speaking this may likely have no advantages to you, but human advantage is not the reason God gives the gift of celibacy.
Not just baptismal certificates, but the dioceses I’ve been in want a recent one (within 6 months), with annotations, mailed to the parish. I tell people this and they still hand me the one the Church gave them as a memento of that happy occasion decades before.
Dear Matthew, just marrying in the Church would be against the canon law and it would also be a fraud to do so in order to keep your monetary securities. Such marriages are only permitted by the Church under very very unusual circumstances,. If a priest did that in the US he would put himself in serious trouble with the authorities.
To the reader: CONGRATULATIONS!
