Pauline Privilege
Dear Father Gem: The person who used to handle the
annulment preparations in the parish mentioned something
called the Pauline Privilege. I wanted to know more about
it, but all he could say was that it is based on Saint Pauls
words in I Corinthians. I could not blame him for what he
didnt know. Based on your knowledge about Canon Law,
would you please explain to us further what this privilege
means and its implications in the life of the couple?
John, Concerned Parishioner
Dear John: The Pauline privilege refers to the dissolution by the
Church of the marriage of two persons not baptized at the time
the marriage occurred.
In 1 Corinthians 7:10-15 it states:
"To the married I give charge, not I but the Lord, that the wife
should not separate from her husband ... and that the husband
should not divorce his wife. To the rest I say, not the Lord, ... But
if the unbelieving partner desires to separate, let it be so; in such
a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us
to peace."
The Pauline Privilege constitutes an exception to the
Churchs general rules governing marriage, rules which are
grounded in sacramental theology. Its also one of the relatively
few instances where specific laws found in the current code are
taken directly from Sacred Scripturein this case, from the
words of Saint Paul himself. Lets look first at what the Church
teaches in general about dissolving a marriage; and then at what
Saint Paul had to say about how to handle a certain specific
marital situation.
Canon 1141 couldnt be more blunt. It asserts that a
marriage that is ratified and consummated (in Latin, ratum et
consummatum) cannot be dissolved by any human power, or by
any cause other than death. In other words, a marriage is truly
indissoluble if (a) it has been celebrated with a valid marriage rite;
and (b) the spouses have subsequently engaged in a conjugal
act, in itself apt for the generation of offspring (c. 1061.1). If
condition (a) is missing or defective in some substantive way, the
marriage may be annulled, since it was never properly ratified to
begin with. If condition (b) is missing, the marriage is known as
ratum sed non consummatum, and the Pope has the power to
dissolve it (c. 1142). Otherwise, a marriage ends only with the
death of one of the spouses.
This is not some modern, post-Vatican II formulation of
the issuefar from it! The notion that a ratum et consummatum
marriage is indissoluble developed in the Catholic Church over
the course of the past two millennia, and in fact is originally
based on teachings found in the Old Testament (cf. Catechism of
the Catholic Church 1610-1611 and 1614-1615).
In 1 Corinthians 7:10-15, Saint Paul has asserted that in a
particular set of circumstances, a ratum et consummatum
marriage really can be dissolved. He acknowledges right up front
(I say, not the Lord) that this isnt coming from Godrather, its
coming from Paul himself. According to Paul, the overall
indissolubility of marriage has a loophole: if two unbaptized
people are married, and one of them is subsequently baptized,
