Canon Lawer Refutes Cardinal Müller's Heresy

Father Dean Perri, a canon lawyer who served for years in the marriage tribunal of Providence diocese, USA, has refuted a speculation of Cardinal Gerhard Müller according to which a second liaison may be the valid, true marriage of a person before God.

Talking to Church Militant (January 8) Perri explained that a second civil or de facto liaison is never sacramental and therefore invalid in the eyes of the Church. He further recalls that a second marriage cannot be contracted as long as a previous marriage bond still exists or was not declared null by the Church.

It is remarkable that such simple facts have to be explained to a former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
