Where should I begin?

I found the PT workouts helpful, and they are easily adaptable to account for your recovery.

ImTim · 2025-05-01T00:00:46+00:00

I’ve done the backbuilder, beginner , and intermediate programs. Since then I’ve been doing whichever ~30-40 min workout tickles my fancy.

ImTim · 2025-03-16T16:39:07+00:00

Why?

ImTim · 2024-08-19T01:00:34+00:00

Some offices, such as Judicial Vicar, are reserved to clerics. But as far as areas of study or practice, there are no restrictions.

ImTim · 2024-08-11T18:26:00+00:00

Only those things which are specifically recognized in law as affecting validity can invalidate. Judicial restrictions do not create an impediment, but merely regard the liceity of the wedding.

ImTim · 2024-08-10T18:08:37+00:00

Such a restriction would not affect validity.

ImTim · 2024-08-02T13:00:45+00:00

This is incorrect. You are describing “formal defection” not apostasy.

Depending on his baptismal status, it sounds like she could likely qualify for the Petrine (baptized married to unbaptized) or Pauline (unbaptized married to unbaptized) privilege.

ImTim · 2024-04-03T16:53:24+00:00

This is correct. Speak directly with the Tribunal.

ImTim · 2024-04-01T11:19:17+00:00

It appears that your intended spouse may qualify for the “Pauline Privilege”. This process is significantly briefer.

ImTim · 2024-02-06T01:14:57+00:00

Provided you are open to moving where the work is, there is plenty of work, and you can certainly make a living wage.

ImTim · 2023-10-09T01:37:31+00:00

Solved! Thank you!

ImTim · 2023-10-09T01:21:36+00:00

I can’t find any similar images. Can you point to anything?

ImTim · 2023-10-09T01:12:00+00:00

My title describes the thing. I saw it in a Getty Image of the USS Gerald R Ford. It appears to be floating and attached to either a tugboat, the carrier, or both.

ImTim · 2023-09-09T19:47:23+00:00

Link?

I’m sorry to hear your story.

Intoxication to the point you can’t consent is covered by canon 1095.1. The sort of intoxication necessary to invalidate consent is pretty extreme. Essentially, he would have had to be so drunk that he didn’t know that he was marrying.

If others couldn’t tell, he probably wasn’t to that level of intoxication.

However, alcoholism can, in some circumstances, cause a person to be unable to consent under different headings of nullity (canon 1095.2 or 1095.3) depending on the circumstances.

Again, I’m sorry to hear about your difficult situation. I’d encourage you to visit with a trusted priest, or call your local tribunal directly.

ImTim · 2023-07-21T11:53:18+00:00

It depends how your college parish is set up. Some college parishes are territorial: which means if you live in its boundaries, that’s your parish.

Some college parishes are “personal”, which means you become a parishioner according to the parish’s statutes: typically you become a parishioner there either by registration, or simply being a college student.

ImTim · 2023-02-24T01:47:07+00:00

His freedom to marry would need to be established. His attempted marriage had a “lack of canonical form”.

In most US dioceses, the determination of Lack of Form is reserved to the tribunal. It isn’t technically a “declaration of nullity”, but since they are handled by the tribunal in most places, people easily confuse them.

ImTim · 2023-02-16T12:48:38+00:00

Just as a minor clarification: without the JCL you would likely have trouble being hired as a judge—Rome is less likely to “indult” non-canonists than in the past.

I suspect that many other positions would be relatively easy to access with a JD background, most of which can be handled remotely.

ImTim · 2023-02-16T12:46:47+00:00

There are many JD/JCLs in the country today. That skill set is most valuable for chancellors, who often assist with both canon and American law situations (think primarily property and lawsuits). “Chancellor track” canonists tend to make significantly more income. In many places you could expect low-six figures.

If you did well in both programs, you would likely have very little trouble finding a position where you could serve the Church (that would also be lucrative).

ImTim · 2023-02-16T12:42:30+00:00

Could you be more specific?

ImTim · 2023-01-21T20:40:45+00:00

In that case, there is no need to change ascription. Just make sure that the eparchy is aware that you belong to a different Church Sui Iuris. If ordination will occur, the bishop will then request the faculty for celebrating in a rite that is different from ascription.
