Ok thanks.
So this means such people are indeed living in a state of sin, right?
What about two non-Catholics who are married?
Is this a case of “to whom much is given, much is required”?
Thanks,
The “canonical form” requirement only applies when a Catholic is involved. Two validly-baptized non-Catholics have a valid, sacramental marriage as long as they exchanged marital consent in some recognizable way.
