It even goes so far as to say that marrying your first cousin is something that falls in the category of "dispensations being granted more easily." This picture comes from a book called "My Catholic Faith" which was made in the 1950s by the American Bishop Morrow. However, a reviewer from Amazon pointed out that things were changed in this catechism which was published by Sarto House, concerning the new interpretation of the nature of the Sacraments. However, "99%" of it was still fine.
 One more question - is there an impediment to marriage based on an age gap (for example, can a 18 year old marry a 75 year old, or a gap even bigger than that if the laws of the country are different)




And the review in question:



It is important to note that the 1983 code of canon law has indeed loosened the laws of consanguinity. This was told by my friend called jacobusbadensis, who is on this forum. He said that third and second cousins can be dispensed but not first-cousin. However, I posted this on the SSPX discord server, and the rather "sophistic" moderator who has some problems with the morality of the death penalty being administered by Catholics while recognizing that faithful Catholics have called it okay, and other such complicated arguments. Another man who was not a moderator said that his great grandparents were dispensed in the early 50s because it was found later on that they were first cousins. He said it was dispensed by Rome. The actual moderator responded with sections on consanguinity. They only dealt with *how* we determine consanguinity, not *what* is permitted and what is not. He always posts things from moral theology volumes. He also said that there is definitely no rule about age gaps.  He also defended the new docuмent on the Co-Redemptrix it seems. He said that there is no certainty that it is sinful to accept, which was my question on that matter, because a competent authority such as a Bishop hasn't said anything about it. Of course, he's very sneaky about it. He always recommends that people stop asking questions about what is sinful and tell them to talk to a priest instead.[/color]
