As one who teaches marriage prep to engaged couples, it is beyond my comprehension why we are doing something as insane as this in 2015 - allowing Catholic couples to make up their own declaration of consent. This is being careless beyond description. Consent makes the marriage. It is just about the most important thing in the Rite of Marriage. Let us repent and pray the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops will revise this aberration.
Oh, Canada. It figures.
