Quoted from an article by CNA/EWTN News January 25, 2011
Pope Benedict XVI has called for effective pastoral action to break the “vicious circle” begun when Christian couples are allowed to marry without adequate preparation and knowledge of the sacrament’s requirements.
His comments came in a Jan. 22 address to officials and lawyers of the Tribunal of the Roman Rota at the inauguration of the judicial year.
“No one has the right to a marriage ceremony,” Pope Benedict said. He noted that the “right to marriage” in canon law refers only to the right to celebrate an authentic marriage.
The marriage bond is one of unity and indissolubility. It aims for the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of their children, he continued.
Marriage preparation intends to promote the “free celebration of a true marriage” that creates “a bond of justice and love between the spouses.”
