Summary:Recent guidance form the Apostolic Signatura explains, that canon 1160 does not refer to the convalidation of a civil union (a marriage of a Catholic without regard to the canonical form) and that 1156 § 2 and 1157 refer only to the convalidation of a marriage invalid due to an impediment. A civil union is simply non existent as a marriage in the juridic order. Nonetheless, it can be radically sanated if the couple elicited naturally sufficient matrimonial consent. This guidance has implications in the pastoral preparations of couples in a civil union for marriage coram Ecclesiam and for determining the grounds of nullity for a marriage whose partners had previously been together in a civil union
