RADICAL HEALING OF AN INVALID MARRIAGE!

SANACIN EN LA RAZ DE UN MATRIMONIO NO VLIDO!
Q. 1. Can you explain to me the meaning of a "RADICAL SANATION"? It is my understanding that it has to do with validating a marriage. A. 1. In a situation where a Catholic and a non-Catholic (or sometimes a Catholic with a negative attitude toward sacramental marriage) had a civil marriage (e.g. before a Justice of the Peace or in a Protestant Church without a dispensation) because the non-Catholic refused to enter the Catholic Church, nor wanted anything to do with it, the Catholic party can have the civil marriage validated by the Catholic Church. This process, in accordance with Canon Law # 1161 1 is called a - "RADICAL SANATION" - (in Latin... Q. 1. Puede explicarme el significado de una "SANACIN EN LA RAZ"? Es mi entendimiento que tiene que ver con la validacin de un matrimonio. A. 1. En una situacin en la que un catlico y un no catlico (o, a veces un catlico con una actitud negativa hacia el matrimonio sacramental) tuvieron un matrimonio civil (por ejemplo, ante un juez de paz o en una iglesia protestante sin una dispensa) porque el no catlico se neg para entrar en la Iglesia Catlica, ni quera nada que ver con eso, la parte catlica puede tener el matrimonio civil validado por la Iglesia Catlica. Este proceso, de conformidad con el Derecho Cannico # 1161 1 se llama "SANACIN EN LA RAZ"

"sanatio in radice") which means "healing (or a retroactive blessing) in the root. It can be obtained in cases where there are no existing impediment such as a previous marriage that would require an annulment. A "radical sanation" is the healing of an invalid marriage so that the marriage becomes a recognized marriage in accordance with the Canon Laws of the Church. This is done without a ceremony. To seek or procure, one may either contact a parish priest for assistance or contact the local diocesan Matrimonial Tribunal. After obtaining a "radical sanation", the Catholic party can now receive the Sacraments of the Catholic Church, including the Holy Eucharist during Holy Mass. Canon Law # 1161 1. "The radical sanation of an invalid marriage is its convalidation without the renewal of consent, which is granted by competent authority and entails the dispensation from an impediment, if there is one, and from canonical form, if it was not observed, and the retroactivity of canonical effects." Certain conditions must apply before a "radical sanation" can take place. They are: A. Both parties must have the intent of persevering in their conjugal life (be in a healthy relationship). Otherwise a "radical sanation" cannot be granted. Canon Law # 1163 1. "A marriage which is invalid because of an impediment or a defect of legitimate form can be sanated provided that the consent of each party perseveres." B. Both parties (a) must have consented to the marriage (b) at the same time. This simultaneous consent had to include all the essential requirements of a valid marriage (e.g. monogamy, fidelity, permanence and openness to children). This consent must still exist at present unless one party has indicated otherwise. Canon Law # 1162 1. "A marriage cannot be radically sanated if consent is lacking in either or both of the parties, whether the consent was lacking from the beginning or, though present in the beginning, was revoked afterwards." C. Any impediments that are present must be taken care of. In many cases, such is achieved by obtaining a "radical sanation". When marrying outside the Catholic Church, such as before a Justice of the Peace, the marriage was invalid because of a "Defect of Form". That means that the parties failed to obtain a dispensation from the Bishop for a marriage ceremony outside of the Catholic Church. Some impediments cannot be dispensed. For example, if one of the spouses was married before and a decree of nullity (annulment) has not been obtained, then the previous marriage is still valid. If the previous spouse has died, then the impediment has been removed and the "radical sanation" can proceed. Canon Law # 1163 2. "A marriage which is invalid because of an impediment of natural law or of divine positive law can be sanated only after the impediment has ceased." D. In a situation where the non-Catholic spouse would get extremely upset over the process of a "radical sanation," for the sake of peace, he/she does not have to be told. The "radical sanation" process can be granted in secret. There has to be a serious reason for this rule to apply, not just a supposition of a reaction. Canon Law # 1164 "A sanation can be granted validly even if either or both of the parties do not know of it; nevertheless, it is not to be granted except for a grave cause." E. A "radical sanation" is normally granted by the local Bishop. Canon Law # 1165 2. "The diocesan bishop can grant a radical sanation in individual cases even if there are several reasons for nullity in the same marriage, after the conditions mentioned in canon 1125 for the sanation of a mixed marriage have been fulfilled. He cannot grant one, however, if there is an impediment whose dispensation is reserved to the Apostolic See according to the norm of Canon 1078, 2, or if it concerns an impediment of natural law or divine positive law which has now ceased." F. The most important of all the aforementioned, the Catholic party applying for the "radical sanation" is to declare that he/she will remain a Catholic and he/she will do all what he/she can in his/her capacity to ensure the children are baptized and brought up in the Catholic faith. Canon Law # 1125 1/ "the Catholic party is to declare that he or she is prepared to remove dangers of defecting from the faith and is to make a sincere promise to do all in his or her power so that all offspring are baptized and brought up in the Catholic Church."

- (en Latn... "sanatio in radice") que significa "curacin (o una bendicin retroactiva) en la raz".
Se puede obtener en los casos en que no hay impedimento existente, como un matrimonio anterior que exigira la anulacin. Una "sanacin en la raz" es la curacin de un matrimonio nulo por lo que el matrimonio se convierte en un matrimonio reconocido de acuerdo con las leyes cannicas de la Iglesia. Esto se hace sin una ceremonia. Procurar obtener uno puede o bien ponerse en contacto con un sacerdote de la parroquia de asistencia o pngase en contacto con el Tribunal Matrimonial diocesano local.

Despus de obtener una "sanacin en la raz", la parte catlica puede ahora recibir los sacramentos de la Iglesia Catlica, incluyendo la Sancta Comunin durante la Santa Misa. La Ley Cannica # 1161 1. "La sanacin en la raz de un matrimonio nulo es la convalidacin del mismo, sin que haya de renovarse el consentimiento, concedida por la autoridad competente; y lleva consigo la dispensa del impedimento, si lo hay, y de la forma cannica, si no se observ, as como la retrotraccin al pasado de los efectos cannicos." Ciertas condiciones deben aplicarse antes una "sanacin en la raz" puede tener lugar. Ellos son: A. Ambas partes deben tener la intencin de perseverar en la vida conyugal (estar en una relacin saludable). De lo contrario una "sanacin en la raz" no se puede conceder. La Ley Cannica # 1163 1. "Puede sanarse el matrimonio nulo por impedimento o por defecto de la forma legtima, con tal de que persevere el consentimiento de ambas partes." B. Ambas partes (a) deben haber dado su consentimiento para el matrimonio (b) al mismo tiempo. Este consentimiento simultnea tuvo que incluir a todos los requisitos esenciales de un matrimonio vlido (por ejemplo, la monogamia, la fidelidad, la permanencia y la apertura a los nios). Este consentimiento debe seguir existiendo en la actualidad a menos que una de las partes se indique lo contrario. La Ley Cannica # 1162 1. "Un matrimonio no puede sanarse radicalmente si falta el consentimiento en una o ambas de las partes, si el consentimiento falt desde el principio o, aunque presente en el comienzo, fue revocada despus." C. Los obstculos que se presentan, deben ser atendidos. En muchos casos, como se consigue mediante la obtencin de una "sanacin en la raz" . Al casarse fuera de la Iglesia Catlica, como ante un Juez, el matrimonio no era vlido debido a un "defecto de forma". Esto significa que las partes no lograron obtener una dispensa del Obispo de una ceremonia de matrimonio fuera de la Iglesia Catlica. Algunos impedimentos no pueden ser dispensados. Por ejemplo, si uno de los cnyuges se cas antes y un decreto de nulidad (anulacin) no se ha obtenido, entonces el matrimonio anterior sigue siendo vlida. Si el cnyuge anterior ha muerto, entonces el obstculo ha sido removido y la "sanacin en la raz" puede continuar. La Ley Cannica # 1163 2. "El matrimonio nulo por un impedimento de derecho natural o divino positivo slo puede sanarse una vez que haya cesado el impedimento." D. En una situacin en la que el cnyuge no catlico saldra muy molesto por el proceso de "sanacin en la raz" , por el bien de la paz, l/ella no tiene que ser informada. El proceso de "sanacin en la raz" se puede conceder en secreto. Tiene que haber una razn de peso para esta regla se aplique, no slo una suposicin de una reaccin. La Ley Cannica # 1164 "La sanacin puede tambin concederse ignorndolo una de las partes o las dos; pero no debe otorgarse sin causa grave." E. Una "sanacin en la raz" se concede normalmente por el obispo local. La Ley Cannica # 1165 2. "Puede ser concedida por el Obispo diocesano en cada caso, aun cuando concurran varios motivos de nulidad en un mismo matrimonio, cumplindose las condiciones establecidas en el can. c. 1125 para la sanacin de los matrimonios mixtos; pero no puede otorgarla el Obispo si existe un impedimento cuya dispensa se reserva a la Sede Apostlica conforme al can. c. 1078, 2, o se trata de un impedimento de derecho natural o divino positivo que ya haya cesado." F. El ms importante de todo lo anterior, la parte catlica que solicite la "sanacin en la raz" es declarar que l/ella va a seguir siendo un catlico y l/ella va a hacer todo lo que l/ella pueda en su capacidad para asegrese de que los nios son bautizados y educados en la fe catlica. La Ley Cannica # 1125 1 / "la parte catlica declare que est dispuesta a evitar cualquier peligro de apartarse de la fe, y prometa sinceramente que har cuanto le sea posible para que toda la prole se bautice y se eduque en la Iglesia catlica".

You may not always be available to attend our meetings, work at a fund-raiser, or help with hospitality for the parish when needed. However, it is nice to get to know more than the faces of some of the women you see at Mass or our activities, by becoming one of the CCW ladies, choosing your level of involvement. Below is a list of upcoming meetings and activities planned in the next few months. Stop by any of these to get to know us. You can send in a dues payment with the Pink envelope that was included with the July-August Parish envelopes. Any envelope will do, just include your name, address, phone number and email, if you like, and drop off at the parish office or in the collection basket. Indicate CCW on the envelope. Dues have traditionally been $5.00, but any amount paid will be appreciated.

Scholarship Opportunity-The McShane Family Hispanic Scholarship Fund

An Oak Brook family has agreed to partner with the Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) to support needbased scholarships benefitting the growing Hispanic community. The McShane Family Hispanic Scholarship Fund will ensure that 16 students will be able to register at a Catholic school in the Diocese of Joliet this coming school year. Steve and Kathy McShane and daughter, Erin Lacroix, have made a multi-year financial commitment to the diocese. They are members of St. Isaac Jogues Parish, Hinsdale, and Steve is founder and CEO of Willowbrook based Midtronics, Inc. The McShane Family Hispanic Scholarship Fund will fund 16 Catholic grade school students each year for the next three years. The awards will be based on financial need and will adhere to the current processing policy used by the CEF. These are great kids who had little to no chance of receiving a Catholic education without external help, said Joe Langenderfer, Executive Director of the Catholic Education Foundation. Each year over 2,500 students apply through their schools and the CEF for grade school and high school financial aid. Last year the CEF was able to distribute nearly $1.6 million to 1,540 students who demonstrated a financial need through the FACTS Grant and Aid Company, an impartial assessment firm used by the CEF. The Catholic Education Foundation has awarded over $14 million in scholarships since 2003. Families must apply to be considered. For more information, please contact Deborah Birutis, Director of Finance and Administration, at St. Johns, ext. 616.
