MIXED MARRIAGES
REPORT FROM VATICAN CITY Stricter guarantees from parties to marriages between Catholics and nonCathplics are to be required, according to the Vatican City correspondent for the “New York Times.” It was reported on February 5 that persons applying for dispensation must produce proof that the performance of the promises they make cannot be prevented, even by the laws of the country of residence.
The new decree was prompted by the fact that the guarantee regarding the bringing up of children in the Catholic faith was often disregarded because the parties to the marriage were hampered by the laws of their country. It appears that a dispensation will now be refused if it is not established that the undertakings can be fulfilled.
