JOP are not allowed to do church weddings.
It's your parish priest's job to find a replacement priest if you are being married in your parish. Maybe this guy is available...
I know. He's free to hate it as much as he wants, that's not my issue. Intellectual dishonesty is.
I'm having an outdoor wedding. So will a JOP be OK for this?
Shame Karma is turned off, this would have been a good day!
Then he should stay out of the religion thread.Pssst.....Bob just doesn't like religion. Don't take it personally.
Does anyone know of where I could find a good priest to marry me and my fiance?
I am a catholic and was
wondering if there are any priests out there that would offer their services.
He's not an azz. He simply has a differing opinion and isn't afraid to discuss it.Then he should stay out of the religion thread.
I stay out of the horsey thread for the same reason.
He is an azz that just likes to show it.

It's a discussion, people.
To paraphrase Elaine:Making inappropriate and erroneous jokes isn't expressing an opinion it's being an ass.
Deliberately overlooking a point well made just to spout one's vitriol isn't what I'd call a discussion, but if you do so be it. You're the one who has to live with him.

Yep. A priest (as far as I know) cannot perform an outdoor wedding. The sacrament has to received in the church.
That is incorrect. I was married outside by a priest of the Catholic Church.
I guess it depends on that particular priest's interpretation on Canon Law. Unless it was a deacon?
Couldn't the Blessed Sacrament be brought outside for the ceremony? Priests/deacons/lay ministers often carry Eucharist outside the sanctuary to the homebound so they can receive the Sacrament. :shrug:

It is my understanding from my current priest the sacrament of marriage (ceremony) cannot be performed outside of the church.
He's incorrect.
