A couple of questions:
1. Were nuns consulted in the process? Or was it a male only decision process? 2. Were lay Catholics consulted? Or was it a religious directive from people who have not spent time in the challenges of marriage? 3. Does the policy reflect an underlying intolerance of and superiority over other religions? Btw, other religions are restrictive too when it comes to marriage. 4. Are more Catholics going to marry Catholics under the policy or move away from the church - and marriage? Regards, George
