The decision to make
the long journey was reached
before Christmas, and the
boys worked steadily for
more than three months to
build up their endurance.
This included several 25-mile
trips around Middle Georgia,
and the long haul, a two-day
100-mile trip to Callaway
Gardens during Easter
vacation.
The bicycles, for the first
time, were fully loaded with
the same equipment they
carried when they left for
Canada: A Swedish gas stove

coffee can, a light-weight fry
pan, two and one-half gallon

“For the first two hours it
was murder - like dragging a
log up hill,” John said. “But
we finally got accustomed to
it.”
The young Maconites rode
back in the Benedetto station
wagon when John received a
sprained ankle after his bike
hit a ditch and overturned on
a dirt road near Pine
Mountain.
As for mileage, they can
make about 30 miles a day in
hill or mountainous areas,
and between 50 and 60 on
level roads. They will allow a
stop for lunch and will rest
by coasting or slowing down
pedaling pace.
Clothing allowance is
minimum, with the heaviest
items waterproof jackets and
hats.
Their trip will take them
through 11 states -- Georgia,
Alabama, Tennessee,
Arkansas, Oklahoma, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, North and
South Dakota and Minnesota.
“I’ve been thinking about
it all the time, every day,”
young Benedetto said, “and
wondering about how we can
handle anything that comes
along. My friends keep saying
either, ‘you’re crazy,’ or, ‘it’s
a great idea.’ I’m very
optimistic about it.”

(Continued from page 1)
for the backlog of marriage
cases is the relatively small
number of the Church courts
staffed with three qualified
priests. Under the new norms,
bishops’ conferences are
empowered to constitute the
original court and the court
of appeals (courts of first and
second instances) composed
of two priests and one
qualified lay person. The lay
person, in certain instances,
may be the judge, with the
two priests acting as his
counselors.
Where there is a lack of
sufficient qualified persons,
the bishops’ conference may
allow one priest alone to act
as judge, but preferably with
qualified lay people to assist
him. A woman trained in
canon law is now able to act
as notary.
Still another means of
speeding up decisions is the
question of appeals. In the
past, a final decision could be
held up for years as an appeal
dragged through higher
courts. Now, if the decision

of the original court is upheld
by the higher court and no
fresh evidence is brought
forward within 10 days, the
parties are then free to
remarry.
These technical points
about appeals can be better
understood by regarding
them as a safeguard of justice
but also as a means of
thwarting delaying tactics of
a possible vindictive party.
According to the new norms,
if there are no “new, grave
arguments already at hand”
then the case is over and the
time-consuming process of
demanding and getting a new
trial is avoided.
The motu proprio also
provides that in special cases,
where documentation proves
that a marriage was null from
the beginning, the local
bishop can declare it so
without convening a trial.
Although in many parts of
the world the local bishop has
had this permission,
extending it to the Universal
Church will facilitate
decisions.
These special cases the
motu proprio speaks of have
to do with certain obstacles
or impediments to entering a
valid marriage. For instance, a
priest cannot marry without a
dispensation from his vows,
nor can a very young child
marry. In either instance, if
documentation can be
presented showing a person
was not capable of entering a
valid marriage, the bishop can
pronounce the marriage null.
The papal document
stresses at the outset that the
Church will always defend
“the sanctity and genuine
nature of the sacred bond of
matrimony.”
Present canon law insists
that Christ raised marriage to
a sacrament.
Canon law furthers states
that the marriage of baptized
persons is governed by both
divine and Church law.
Accordingly, the Church
cannot dispense from a
marriage that is judged validly
consummated.
The Church also wishes to
defend the bond of marriage
in cases where the validity of
a marriage is in doubt because

it may not fully subscribe the
Church laws. Even in doubt,
the marriage is considered
valid until the contrary is
demonstrated. To provide a
forum for debate, marriage
courts were established to
hear the arguments and
render a decision.
Briefly, a marriage bond
can be attacked in a Church
court on one of three
grounds: lack of true consent
by one of the parties to the
marriage, failure to marry in
the presence of a Catholic
priest and two witnesses, or
the presence of impediments
which nullify the marriage if
they were not legally
removed prior to the
marriage.
Examples of these
impediments to the validity
of the marriage, some of
which coincide with civil law,
are one or both of the parties
being under age,
consanguinity, a prior
existing marriage or bond or a
solemn vow of chastity.
According to canon law, a
marriage may be invalid by
lack of proper consent
because of insanity, force and
fear (being threatened or
forced into the marriage) or
even by entering the marriage
on the condition that some
promised goodness, such as
fame or wealth, will be
forthcoming because of the
marriage.
