RCC to ban infertile people from marriage

Quote
From Archbishop Cruz’s latest statement about the issue of marriage from an interview on GMA news, Archbishop reiterated the Catholic Church’s stance that marriage along with sex is ONLY for procreation, That those who cannot procreate or decide to procreate is committing a mortal sin in the eyes of God.


The Catholic Church is planning to ban the infertile people’s right to marry for they cannot conceive. Even couples who does not plan to have babies can have their marriage revoked, for they have failed their purpose to multiply.

Well now, it's just more apparent that they hate the idea of people loving each other and having sex.
That may be the single gayest thing I have ever read on this board. Or the old one. ;)

I hope this sudden swing towards lunacy isn't just a phase for the Catholics. I'd hate to see them get so close to completely alienating their former support base only to claw it back with a slightly less loony brand of nonsense.

*mindboggles*

I'd like to know whether this is a true vatican-approved stance, or if that's just the opinion of one archbishop. There's a difference, and I'd like to keep at least some of my faith in humanity.
That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.

My wife asked how do they know that a person is infertile if they are not allowed to have sex before marriage?

But just once it seems that they really have thought about this, they plan to revoke any marriage that does not produce children.


*Sigh* So even if a person supports this and obeys these rules by not having sex untill marriage (with another person who also approved this "law") but turns out that he/she is infertile then their marriage will be revoked...
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Also they will have already committed a mortal sin, so that's a plus.

Two problems right off the bat;

1.  How do they enforce this?  do they question every single married/engaged church goer, asking whether they plan to have (possibly more) children in the future? 

Apparently older people and those who decide to stop at 3-4 children will automatically be single.

Baby quotas, I'd assume. The church keeps tabs on all its families in the community, and if Mr.&Mrs.Smith don't regularly produce babies every few years, their marriage is invalidated.

Biggest problem I see for the RCC in enforcing this is that marriage is a civil union.  How are they going to circumvent the law and void marriages of couples that have no children?  Last I noticed, no church, whether it be the RCC or any other, had the power to do that, especially in the US.  The church may no longer recognize their marriage, but the civil authorities sure will and they would still be legally married.

The RCC is well aware of that, Star.  Keep in mind, they don't consider any non-Catholic marriage to be valid.  They're well aware that they can't define marriage for most countries (though they keep trying).

I think this little stunt is refreshing.
Its somewhat less hypocritical than the stance other religions and facets of Christianity have on marriage. They just out and say its for the babies and nothing else. If anything this clears up their stance on homosexual marriage, contraception and abortion in one single statement.

Its still crazy, but refreshing.

Wouldn't they also have to void every marriage where the woman is over 50 as well?
