@SrDorcee @jdflynn My family all baptized as infants. Left the church shortly after my baptism. We came back when I was a teenager so I’m fine, but my sister came back after she was in her second marriage. Her first lacked canonical form, so “easy” to convalidate.

    @SrDorcee @jdflynn If canonical form didn’t matter, would she have grounds for one? I don’t know. Would this be the Church being stronger on marriage or would it out more people in the “divorced remarried” segment that is already pastorally problematic.

    @SrDorcee @jdflynn I think canonical form, as handled now, isn’t ideal. I would be interested in exploring how to handle the situation of today without total abandonment of it. Allowing some flexibility seems interesting and worth investigating.
