No wedding because you’re impotent, says Bishop
A 26-year-old man was told he couldn’t have a Catholic wedding after being made paraplegic in a car accident.
Salvatore de Ciuco, spokesman for Bishop Lorenzo Chiarinelli of Viterbo in central Italy, said: “No bishop, no priest can celebrate a wedding when he knows of admitted impotence as it is a motive for annulment”.
The man’s fiance said she was aware of his disability, and married him later in a civil ceremony.
Perhaps we should also point out that according to the Church, the young man in question is not going to heaven either now:
He that is wounded in the stones, or has his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD. - Deuteronomy 23:1
We’ve never been quite sure why a working penis is an essential prerequisite for Heaven, but clearly there’s more going on up there than just sitting around playing harps all day.
