From the Baltimore catechism:
Q. 1366. What is the meaning of the precept not to solemnize marriage at forbidden times?
A. The meaning of the precept not to solemnize marriage at forbidden times is that during Lent and Advent the marriage ceremony should not be performed with pomp or a nuptial Mass.
So it seems I was wrong. Thank you.
The sacrament can be given and received during forbidden times, but a nuptial mass cannot be done and there should be no pomp to the wedding.
I assume "during lent and advent" here also refers to other forbidden times. I will have to check my balt. Cat. 4.
How did that play out in real life? Sounds like a sailor at Pearl Harbor going off to sea on December 10th, 1941, wants to marry before he goes, and they marry in the sacristy. Other than something like that, or two poor orphans marrying, one would be hard pressed to find a women today that does not want pomp and nuptial mass.
BY the way, the method used by Fanny in her two postings is the way that everyone needs to post when they debate here,
Fanny did not post her opinion, she posting an authority, the Baltimore Catechism.
