No, but thank you for asking.  I know that is a common reason for people leaving the Church.  Also, thank you to everyone else.  I picked up a copy of the Fortescue book as well as one by Erick Ybarra (a novus ordite but he is a scholar on the Greek Schism) called "The Papacy."  I already pray the 15 decades but of course will continue to do so.  Prayer and study. 

As Matthew said before, pretend the Eastern Schismatics don't exist. The ones on the internet who spread their heresy are worse than pagans for leading so many souls to profane the sacraments.

Yes, i'm not suggesting a layman can make any decisions related to canon law.  I'm suggesting (and i've known examples) where Trad priests investigated the matter and the person converted to the Faith and was "re-married" to a Trad.  But the priest made the call.

I'm not sure whether a Trad priest would have the authority to do so. It's the question of whether supplied jurisdiction extends to governance. If we granted that, a trad bishop could have the power to excommunicate, which no one admits.

If I remember correctly, it can be handled at the diocesan level, however, again, one cannot just decide this for himself, UNLESS we can find that it is explicitly allowed to do so. So, a Canon Law commentary on these canons should clearly state that a layman can, when lacking a priest or bishop with ordinary jurisdiction or a marriage tribunal, presume his non-sacramental marriage dissolved.

I'd be extremely surprised if that was the case. Why? Because the marriage has to be dissolved, that's an act that has to take place, so, it's not that the marriage automatically dissolves once someone converts and would like the issue to go away, but it has to be dissolved by a competent authority, which is not present.

Let's say $5 to $50.

I'm somewhat particular to red wines.  And more specifically, Chilean wines. So this post will be exclusively Chilean wines (I'll make another post on U.S. wines). 

In that price range, here is what I'd recommend trying:

Casillero del Diablo by Concha y Toro ~$10. This is a good all-around wine, but it should be breathed.  Upon proper breathing, this $10/bottle wine turns into a $20/bottle wine.  Also, not only is Concha y Toro the largest vineyard in Chile, it's the 3rd largest in the world, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find this in wine shops.  I'm particular to their Carmenere.


Primus The Blend ~$15  A Chilean Bordeaux Blend.



Cousiño-Macul Antiguas Reservas ~$20


LaPostolle ~$20 - $75  Very unique vineyard in that the none of their wine goes through any pumps in that the building is built into the side of a hill wherein the grapes are brought to the top, and the entire process uses gravity to go from vat to bottling. 



Perez Cruz ~$20  This is a smaller vineyard located about 45 minutes outside of Santiago, Chile.  I've never had a bad bottle from Perez Cruz.


Marques de Casa Concha ~20  One of my personal favorites, primarily because it is easily found in a lot of wine shops.  Also, the main vineyard is located on the outskirts of Santiago, Chile.


BTW, I've toured/visited the vineyards where each of the above wines are made.

Isn't there the Pauline/Petrine privelege for marriage, where if a person converts to the Faith and his unbaptized spouse won't convert, they can remarry a Catholic and receive the full sacrament?  It's a rare case, but it may apply to this thread.

Lay people can't apply the Pauline/Petrine privilege to their own situation.  Only a Tribunal or the Rota can issue an declaration.  And there is no traditional authority to do so.  The OP must separate from the new "wife".
