MYTH:A Cathol ic who divorces

is excommunicated and nolonger a part of the Church.

TRUTH:This penalty was withdrawn

in 1884. A divorced Catholicwho has not remarried outsidethe Church remains a Catholicand may participate fully in theChurch and receive Communionunder the usual conditions. Eventhough this person may not beplanning to remarry, he/shemay still apply for a declara-tion of invalidity (annulment)to have peace of mind and toput closure to that painfulstage of his/her life.

MYTH:A Cathol ic who divorces

and remarries, without a dec-laration of invalidity (an an-nulment), is excommunicated.

TRUTH:This penalty was removed in

1977. Catholic Church law per-mits a second marriage if a

MARRIAGE MYTHS & MISCONCEPTIONSMITOS Y CONCEPTOS ERRNEOS DELMATRIMONIO


2/12

declaration of invalidity of the first marriage is granted. A divorced Catholic who remarries outside theChurch is not excommunicated, still remains an active member of the Church, and still is obliged to at-tend Mass, but may not receive Communion until a declaration of invalidity is granted for the previousmarriage and the present union is convalidated. (This also applies to a Catholic who marries a personwho was previously married and whose former spouse is still alive.)

MYTH:If a declaration of invalidity (an annulment) is granted by the Tribunal, this decision implies that

the person never had a marriage. In other words, the marriage never existed and the children are

illegitimate.

TRUTH:The Church does recognize the civil aspects of the marriage, and holds the basic presumption that

the couple entered a valid marriage. A declaration of invalidity determines that, at the time of the wed-ding, the marriage lacked an element(s) that the Catholic Church teaches is essential to marriage andespecially to a sacramental marriage. The absence of this essential element(s) eventually caused thebreakdown of the marriage. The truth is that an ecclesiastical annulment is concerned only with thespouses, and not the children. The Church is very clear in its protection of the legitimacy of children. Anannulment has no effect at all on the legitimacy of children, or other arrangements regarding children,such as custody or support. These are all concerns of the civil law, and an ecclesiastical annulment hasabsolutely no effect under civil law. It is a myth that granting an annulment makes the children illegitimate.(The parents and family of one who has divorced are not affected sacramentally.)

MYTH:If a declaration of invalidity (annulment) is granted by the Tribunal, it allows only the Petitioner

to remarry.

TRUTH:An affirmative decision ordinarily frees both parties to remarry in the Church. However, based on the

circumstances of each individual case, the Tribunal may recommend or require that a party seek pas-toral and/or psychological counseling or some type of treatment prior to entering another marriage. Thisis done so that the same destructive patterns that caused the breakdown of the previous marriage willnot be repeated. Also, a party who has not abided by the civil court provisions for payment of child sup-port will be prohibited from remarrying in the Church until those obligations are fulfilled.

MYTH:For every previous marriage the long, formal Tribunal process, around 1 year, will be required.

TRUTH:Not every situation requires the formal process. By Church law, Catholics must be married in the

presence of a Catholic priest or deacon and two witnesses (canonical form). A marriage entered intoby a Catholic before a Justice of the Peace or before a non-Catholic minister (without a dispensation)is, by Church law, invalid due to lack of canonical form. The Tribunal process utilized in this case to de-termine invalidity is a much shorter process in which documents (baptism certificate of the Catholicparty, civil marriage license, and final divorce decree) are the only proofs required.

MYTH:One has to pay a large sum of money in order to obtain a declaration of invalidity (annulment).

TRUTH:Most Tribunals charge a nominal fee and provide reductions of the fee for those who need them. Nopetitioner will be turned away if he/she is unable to contribute toward the expenses incurred by the Tri-bunal. In the Diocese of Joliet, the recommended offering is $275 for a psychological evaluation and$350 for the actual annulment, and the Annual Diocesan Appeal subsidizes around 80% of the expensesincurred.

ALSO: ..For Mixed Marriages: Canon 1127.2, The Bishop may grant a dispensation to allow a the Catholicparty to marry before a non-Catholic minister, in a non-Catholic ceremony, in a Protestant Church, and stillbe considered validly married(assuming no other separate issues affect sacramental validity) in the eyesof the Catholic Church. Dispensations are not granted to be married in a garden or on a beach. Only forgrave difficulties, i.e. serious sickness, may one be dispensed to marry outside of a church building.


3/12

caso de concederse la declaracin de nulidad del primer matrimonio. Un catlico divorciado que sevuelve a casar fuera de la Iglesia no es excomulgado, sigue siendo un miembro activo de la Iglesia, ytodava tiene la obligacin de asistir a misa,pero no pueden recibir la comunin hasta que se concedala declaracin de nulidad del matrimonio anterior y el actual sindicato se convalidado. (Esto tambinse aplica a un catlico que se casa con una persona que estaba casada y cuyo ex cnyuge sigue vivo.)

MITO:Si la declaracin de nulidad (anulacin) es concedida por el Tribunal, esta decisin impl ica que

la persona nunca ha tenido un matrimonio. En otras palabras, el matrimonio nunca existi y que

los hijos son ilegtimos.

VERDAD:La Iglesia reconoce los aspectos civiles del matrimonio, y tiene la presuncin bsica de que la pareja

entr en un matrimonio vlido. Una declaracin de nulidad determina que, en el momento de la boda, elmatrimonio careca de un elemento(s) que la Iglesia Catlica ensea que es esencial para el matrimonio ysobre todo a un matrimonio sacramental. La ausencia de este elemento(s) esencial con el tiempo provoc laruptura del matrimonio. La verdad es que una anulacin eclesistica se ocupa slo de los cnyuges, y no losnios. La Iglesia es muy clara en su proteccin de la legitimidad de los hijos. Una anulacin no tiene ningnefecto en absoluto sobre la legitimidad de los hijos, u otras disposiciones relativas a los nios, tales como lacustodia o el apoyo. Estas son todas las preocupaciones de la ley civil y una anulacin eclesistica no tieneabsolutamente ningn efecto en el derecho civil. Es un mito que la concesin de la anulacin hace que loshijos ilegtimos. (Los padres y la familia de quien se ha divorciado no se realizan sacramentalmente.)

MITO:Si la declaracin de nulidad (anulacin) es concedida por el Tribunal, que slo permite al peti-

cionario que se vuelven a casar.

VERDAD:Una decisin afirmativa libera normalmente ambas partes para volver a casarse en la Iglesia. Sin embar-

go, en base a las circunstancias de cada caso concreto, el Tribunal podr recomendar o exigir que una Partesolicite consejo pastoral y/o psicolgico o algn tipo de tratamiento antes de entrar en otro matrimonio.Esto se hace para que los mismos formas destructivos que causaron la ruptura del matrimonio anterior no serepetirn. Adems, la parte que no ha acatado las disposiciones ante los tribunales civiles para el pago de lapensin alimenticia tendr prohibido volver a casarse en la Iglesia hasta que se cumplan dichas obligaciones.

MITO:Por cada matrimonio anterior, proceso del tribunal formal de largo, alrededor de 1 ao, se requerir.

VERDAD:No todas las situaciones requiere que el proceso formal. Por ley de la Iglesia, los catlicos deben estar

casados por la presencia de un sacerdote o dicono y dos testigos (forma cannica) catlica. Un matrimo-nio celebrado por un catlico ante un juez de paz o ante un ministro no catlico (sin una dispensa) es, porley de la Iglesia, no es vlido debido a la falta de forma cannica. El proceso del Tribunal utilizado en es-te caso para determinar la invalidez es un proceso mucho ms corto en el que los documentos (certificadode bautismo de la parte catlica, licencia de matrimonio civil y divorcio final) son las nicas pruebas ne-cesarias. En la Dicesis de Joliet, la oferta recomendada para este proceso documental es $??????????.

MITO:Uno tiene que pagar una gran suma de dinero con el fin de obtener la declaracin de nulidad (anulacin).

VERDAD:La mayora de los tribunales cobran una cuota nominal y proporcionan una reduccin de la cuota pa-

ra aquellos que lo necesitan. No peticionario ser rechazado si l/ella no es capaz de contribuir a losgastos incurridos por el Tribunal. En la Dicesis de Joliet, la oferta recomendada es de $????? para uncaso formal, y la Apelacin Anual Diocesano subsidia el 80% de los gastos incurridos.

TAMBIN: .....Para los matrimonios mixtos: Canon 1127.2, el Obispo podr conceder una dispensa para permitir queun partido catlico se case antes de que un ministro no catlico, en una ceremonia no catlica, en una iglesia protes-tante, y todava se considera vlidamente casado (suponiendo que no hay otras cuestiones distintas afectan la validezsacramental) en los ojos de la Iglesia Catlica. Dispensaciones no se conceden a casar en un jardn o en la playa.... Slopor graves dificultades, es decir, enfermedad grave, puede uno prescindir de fuera casado de un edificio de la iglesia.

Steve and Kathy McShane and daughter, Erin Lacroix, have made a multi-year finan-cial commitment to the diocese. They are members of St. Isaac Jogues Parish, Hinsdale, and Steve isfounder and CEO of Willowbrook based Midtronics, Inc.

The McShane Family Hispanic Scholarship Fund will fund 16 Catholic grade school students each year for thenext three years. The awards will be based on financial need and will adhere to the current processing pol-icy used by the CEF. These are great kids who had little to no chance of receiving a Catholic educationwithout external help, said Joe Langenderfer, Executive Director of the Catholic Education Foundation.

Each year over 2,500 students apply through their schools and the CEF for grade school and high schoolfinancial aid. Last year the CEF was able to distribute nearly $1.6 million to 1,540 students who demon-strated a financial need through the FACTS Grant and Aid Company, an impartial assessment firm used bythe CEF. The Catholic Education Foundation has awarded over $14 million in scholarships since 2003.
