In Ireland we know better.
The recent Papal Decree, termed _Ne_Temere_, regulating the solemnisation of marriages, has been enforced in Ireland in a manner which must seem impossible to Englishmen.
According to this Decree, "No marriage is valid which is not contracted in the presence of the (Roman) parish priest of the place, or of the Ordinary, or of a priest deputed by them, and of two witnesses at least.
" This rule is binding on all Roman Catholics.
It is easy to see what hardship and wrong must follow the observance of this rule in the case of mixed marriages.
As a result, it is now the case that, in Ireland, marriages which the law of the land declares to be valid are declared null and void by the Church of Rome, and the children of them are pronounced illegitimate.
