| Summary: | The growing presence of Orthodox immigrants in Catholic regions requires a study of the discipline which governs marriages between Catholics and Orthodox. These unions are regulated by divine law and also by canon law—Catholic and Orthodox—and can be celebrated in the Catholic Church or the Orthodox Church. Divine law impediments render these marriages impossible. Since the alleged or so-called 'Orthodox divorce' is not recognized by Catholics, it is necessary each time to obtain a declaration of nullity from the Catholic diocesan tribunal. La croissante présence des immigrés Orthodoxes dans les territoires catholiques nous oblige d’étudier la discipline qui règle les mariages entre les Catholiques et les Orthodoxes. Ces unions sont réglées par le droit divin et aussi par le droit canonique — catholique et orthodoxe — et peuvent être célébrées dans l’église catholique ou l’église orthodoxe. Les empêchements de droit divin rendent ces mariages impossibles. Depuis que le soi-disant ou prétendu «divorce orthodoxe» n’est pas reconnu par les catholiques, il est nécessaire chaque fois d’obtenir une déclaration de nullité par le tribunal diocésain catholique. |
