Heresy in Canon Law? - CounterRevolutionary - 09-11-2015
Does anyone else find this new wording more than troubling:
Old Canon:
Canon 1676 Before accepting a case and whenever there is hope of a favorable outcome, a judge is to use pastoral means to induce the spouses if possible to convalidate the marriage and restore conjugal living.
New Canon:
Canon 1675. Iudex, antequam causam acceptet, certior fieri debet matrimonium irreparabiliter pessum ivisse, ita ut coniugalis convictus restitui nequeat.
Canon 1675. The judge, before he accepts a case, needs to be sure that the marriage is irretrievably failed, so that it is impossible to restore conjugal living.

Yes. What is a "failed marriage"? Sounds subjectivist.

In the second instance this implies that there is no hope of a positive outcome.
