New Papal Marriage Edict Aims to Curb Elopements
The Catholic Church worldwide tightens marriage rules by papal rescript, effective Easter April 19. Clergy under Bishop Canevin in Pittsburgh prepare multilingual instructions likely 15,000 to 20,000 words long to enforce parochial marriages and prohibit elopements, with illegitimate unions outside parish residence deemed illicit unless dispensation obtained. The move strengthens safeguards since Trent and restricts marriages to parish where celebrant resides, affecting interfaith unions and Pennsylvanian practices.
