Faithful Chronicles
By Father Frank D. Almade
Today the third Extraordinary Synod of Bishops ended in Rome. Over
200 bishops from around the world
(with 14 appointed married couples
as participant observers) discussed
the topic of marriage and family life
for the past two weeks. Their deliberations will form the basis of next
year’s 14th General Synod of Bishops,
on the same topic.
I thought, in light of the discussions going on in Rome, that it
would be helpful to review Catholic
teaching on marriage
and family life.
Marriage is one of the vocations of
the Christian. In past centuries
“vocation” may have only referred to
God’s call to the priesthood. But
since the Second Vatican Council
(1962-65) vocation applies to all the
pathways to holiness: ordained ministry as a priest or deacon; membership
in a religious community; the single
life (either as a never-married or a
widow); and the married life.
In the Catholic Church marriage is
a sacrament. It is one of the seven
special signs of God’s presence in the
world. In the sacrament of marriage
one man and one woman come together, as adults, who love each other, and pledge to continue loving
each other faithfully, exclusively, and
fruitfully, until death, with the help
of prayer and the church. Statistics
show that over 95% of the general
The Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
population marries, so marriage is a
common way people experience
God’s love.
Unfortunately not all marriages are
loving. Through circumstances and
human sinfulness, many marriages
end and break up, perhaps as many
as 40-50%. Here we confront a widespread misunderstanding: Those
Catholics who separate, or civilly divorce, are not excommunicated from
the church. They remain Catholics in
good standing, called like every member of the Church to love God and
neighbor, follow the teachings of the
church, and try to live holy and just
lives. They may receive Holy Communion, as long as they are in a state
of grace (which is true for every Catholic).
The problem comes when a divorced person remarries. Here again,
those Catholics who are divorced-and
-civilly-remarried are not excommunicated. They remain members of the
church, called to attend Mass on Sundays and live holy lives. However,
because of their irregular situation,
they are not able to receive Holy
Communion at Mass. A few bishops
in the Synod have called for a change
in this pastoral practice. No decisions
have been made by Pope Francis.
For both divorced persons, and
divorced-and-remarried persons, the
church offers the annulment process.
This is a judicial act which declares
that what to our eyes seemed like a
valid sacrament, really was not. I urge
folks who are divorced, or divorcedand-remarried, to pursue an annulment. Talk to one of us priests, or
call the Marriage Tribunal office
(412-456-3033) and ask for a preliminary questionnaire. We priests are
happy to work as an advocate with
anyone in seeking an annulment. If
money is an obstacle to pursuing an
annulment, the parish can provide
the funds. (The current diocesan fee
is $600, which is less than 20% of the
total administrative cost of an annulment.)
Two other issues. One is with the
word “marriage.” Over the past five
years, more than half of the states in
our country (including Pennsylvania)
have moved to change the definition
of marriage to include two men or
two women. This is in conflict with
the Catholic Church’s 2000 year tradition. One thought is that we Catholics should use the old-time word
“matrimony” to mean the Sacrament
of Marriage between one man and
one woman, and leave the word
“marriage” for the civil courts and
their expanded definition.
The other is that God loves everyone. I can’t say this loud enough or
often enough. No matter what vocation you feel called by God to pursue,
or whether your marital situation is
regular or not, God loves you. And
the church needs to treat everyone
with the same love and compassion.
Families come in all sizes and conditions, and every family is called to the
best of its ability to imitate the love of
God in their relationships.
There is much more that can and
should be said about marriage and
family life. You can read in depth in
paragraphs 1601-1666 and 23312400 in the Catechism of the Catholic
Church, or chapters 16 and 30 in the
U.S. Catholic Catechism for Adults.
May we pray fervently and
lovingly for all the married,
single, divorced, and
divorced-and-remarried
people
in our community.
