Dear Diary,
The vetitum guy from the Pie Town diocese faked a coronary! Claimed he had chest pains, went to ER, they couldn’t find anything, but admitted him for more evaluation. He calls for the Catholic chaplain of the hospital and demands that he do the convalidation in the hospital room because he’s dying. THE CHAPLAIN DID IT! He married them! Well, that’s one way to get around going for counseling. I think I’m seeing why he needed it.. Good luck to these poor people. Note: make sure Mrs. Kennedy drafts another letter from me to the Nuncio, to let him know about the “happy ending”!
And now, it’s definitely time for dinner at Charlie’s.
A bit fortuitous that the hospital’s Catholic chaplain happened to be a priest…it seems less and less frequent these days, sadly.
Yeah… some guys have all the luck.
I wonder if the Vetitum Guy was receiving expert canonical advice, to think of having a wedding in the hospital, in periculo mortis, in order to dispense with the vetitum.
It sounds too clever for the average Joe.
