BY JERRY FILTEAU
VATICAN CITY (NC)
- Pope John Paul II said
Jan. 24 that there has been
an “alarming increase” in
marriage cases in church
courts and warned against
‘‘easy and hasty”
annulments.
In a speech opening the
judicial year for the
Roman Rota, the church’s
central court of appeals
for marriage cases, the
pontiff said that concern
expressed at the recent
World Synod of Bishops
‘‘over the alarming
increase of marriage cases
in church courts will
certainly be valued” in the
current process of revising
church law.
He called for greater
pastoral efforts in marriage
preparation and warned
that “the preparation for
matrimony itself would be
negatively influenced by
decrees or sentences of
matrimonial nullity if
these should be obtained
too easily.”
Vatican sources said the
papal criticisms seemed
directed chiefly at U.S.
church courts, which
under special procedural
rules in recent years have
been responsible for more
than three-fourths of the
yearly decrees of nullity in
the church.
In 1978, the latest year
for which complete
statistics are available, U.S.
decisions accounted for
more than 43,000 of the
55,000-plus annulments in
the church.
Some Vatican officials
sharply disagree with the
American church view that
the large number of U.S.
decisions is due to eased
procedural requirements
and not to laxness on the
substantive basis for
decisions.

One of the most public
attacks in this area came
last year at the World
Synod of Bishops, when
Cardinal Pericle Felici,
head of the church’s
Apostolic Signature
(supreme court), sharply
criticized what he called
an “abnormal increase” in
annulments in some
countries. Alluding to the
United States, he cited a
5,000 percent increase in
one country in a 10-year
period.
‘‘The contents of
sentences of nullity also
provoke concern and
anxiety,” Cardinal Felici
said in his synod speech.
‘‘On a certain
continent, the usual
headings of nullity
introduced for the law of
the church have been
forsaken in practice, and
just one heading of nullity
is recognized:
psychological immaturity,
the incapacity to assume
or fulfill the obligations of
matrimony, particularly as
regards communion of life.
and interp ersonal
relations,” said the
cardinal.
U.S. church courts
often use psychological
immaturity as a reason in
annulment cases.
In the papal address to
the Rota, Pope John Paul
warned that easy church
annulments could
compound the problems
for marriage stability
already posed by
widespread civil divorce.
If annulments “were to
multiply as easy and hasty
pronouncements,” he said,
this would contribute to
creating an “existential
and psychological
perspective” in which
getting married is
considered “less serious
and demanding” than it
should be.
He said the celebration
of matrimony already “has

lost among many young
people the consideration
due it.”
The pontiff emphasized
that lower church courts
must carefully follow the
jurisprudence (application
of law to specific cases)
developed by the Roman
Rota.
The pope asked for
“the attention and prompt
readiness of the diocesan
and regional courts to
follow the directives of the
Holy See, the constant
jurisprudence of the Rota,
and the faithful
application of the norms,
both the substantive ones
and the procedural ones
already codified, without
having recourse to
presumed or probable
innovations or to
interpretations that do not
correspond objectively to
the canonical norm and
are not supported by any
qualified jurisprudence.”
The pope emphasized
church teaching on the
absolute indissolubility of
marriage and indirectly
repudiated arguments that,
for pastoral reasons, the
church ought to recognize
irretrievably broken
marriages.
Linking marriage and
family as the core of
society, he said that
“every safeguarding of the
legitimate family is always
in favor of the person,
while one-sided concern
for the individual can turn
into damage for that same
human person, besides
harming matrimony and
the family, which are
goods both of the person
and of society.”
“Nature and grace show
us, even if in different
ways and degrees, a divine
plan for matrimony and
the family, which must
always be attended to,
safeguarded and, according
to the specific tasks of
each church activity,
favored, so that it be
received by human society
as widely as possible,” he
said.
“The church, therefore,
also with its law and the
exercise of its judicial
power, can and must
safeguard the values of
matrimony and the family
to promote man and
strengthen his dignity,” he
said.

Court Refuses O’Hair
WASHINGTON (NC) - The Supreme Court
has refused to honor a request by atheist Madalyn
Murray O’Hair that the word “God” be dropped
from the traditional opening of a session of a
federal appeals court.

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan (NC) -- A

Drinan To Georgetown Univ.
WASHINGTON (NC) - Jesuit Father Robert
F. Drinan, former member of Congress, has joined

Center, Dean David J. McCarthy Jr. announced.

Representatives for 10 years as a Democrat from

FCC Ruling Challenged
BALTIMORE (NC) - The president of the
National Association of Catholic Broadcasters,
Paulist Father John Geaney, has expressed dismay
over the recent Federal Communications ruling
deregulating four key areas of commercial radio
broadcasting, citing that the ruling “has taken us
a giant step closer to the times when the need for
profit in a radio station, rather than public
interest, convenience and necessity, will
determine what is heard or not heard on the
people’s air waves.”
From “Cropland
To Missile Bases
AMARILLO, Texas (NC) -- Urging his people
to pray for the day when all nuclear weapons will
be dismantled, Bishop L.T. Matthiesen of
Amarillo has sharply questioned proposals to
build the MX missile system in the Texas
Panhandle.
“The prophet dreamed of a time when men
would turn swords into plowshares,” said Bishop
Matthieson, ‘‘but we are busily turning
plowshares back into swords, turning cropland
into missile bases.”
NCCB Head
Hails Papal Stop
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The President of the
National Conference of Catholic Bishops hailed
the announcement that Pope John Paul II will
stop in Anchorage next month on his way back to
Rome from a trip to the Far East.
Pope John Paul will leave Rome February 16 to
visit the Philippines, Japan, and Guam and will stop
in Anchorage for approximately three hours
February 26 on the flight back. He will offer a
public Mass while in Anchorage.
Recalling the Pope’s “joyous and inspiring” visit
to the U.S. in October, 1979, Archbishop John R.
Roach of St. Paul and Minneapolis said: “Although
his stopover in Anchorage will hardly be on the
same scale, it provides another opportunity for us to
welcome him and benefit from the presence among
us of this dynamic spiritual leader.”
Mother Angelica —
(Continued from page 1)
The network plans to
begin broadcasting four
hours a day in June and is
seeking programs to be
considered for
broadcasting.
The network is offering
an outlet to dioceses,
religious orders and other
Catholic groups for sharing
their faith and ’ministry
with others throughout
the nation, according to
Mother Angelica.
The network will
produce some new shows
but is particularly
interested in broadcasting
programs already
produced by Catholic
groups, she added.
Proposed programs for
the network include
retreats for priests,
Religious, youth, married
couples and elderly;
special programs for adults
on prayers, types of
spirituality, meditation,
scripture, church history,
theology and philosophy,
and closed circuit
programs for hospitals and
prisons. Currently being
negotiated is a weekly
program from the Vatican
featuring Pope John Paul
II.
There are special plans
for providing animated
scripture lessons for
children and there will be
ecumenical programs
featuring a variety of
music, culture and art.
