No, I was referring to the churches – what part of that don’t you understand?

Like those who want to force prayer in public schools and their religious symbols of xtianity to be displayed on government property – as if it isn’t enough that their churches are subsidized by the US taxpayers.

(a) The code of canon law governs marriage, not Italian law.

The Code of Canon Law is incorporated into the legal system of the VCS by the 1929 Law of the Sources of the Law, one of the six constitutional laws of 1929. Article 11 of the Second Law specifically outlines areas that are regulated solely by canon law. These include marriage, prescription of ecclesiastical property, and gifts and legacies upon death.
(b) The age of consent refers to marriage, not illicit sexual intercourse (seeing as how that is a mortal sin)

(c) The age of consent for marriage in the Code of Canon Law is 16 for boys and 14 for girls, and can be set to a higher age by the conference of Bishops. The Code of Canon Law acknowledges that in some cultures girls do marry at this age– many in Africa, Asia, Middle East, etc. But, the Bishops Conference can set a higher age.

Can. 1083 §1. A man before he has completed his sixteenth year of age and a woman before she has completed her fourteenth year of age cannot enter into a valid marriage.

§2. The conference of bishops is free to establish a higher age for the licit celebration of marriage.
(d) The age of consent does not apply to priests because priests are celibate

(e) If the age of consent as it pertains to illicit sex between persons is governed by the criminal code of Italy, then the Italian government is to be properly accused of being pedophiles, not the VCS.

Morris,

Love the post! I never thought of the rants as a fetish but i see your point.

Some of these guys don’t believe in teaching their kids. They consider it indoctrination. That is why we find the world full of anarchist self-important little monsters running around demanding their entitlements.

The Vatican, being not more than a tiny city, didn’t create its own laws. It adopted those of its neighbouring European nations, specifically Italy. it was Italy who set their consent age at 12, hence for a while the Vatican sex consent age was 12. Since then, Italy has raised the age to 14, as has the Vatican City.

Hmmm, your comment seems a bit spammy. We’re not real big on spam around here.

Please go back and try again.

Morris 13
„I would never tell a parent what they can or cannot teach their child.“
Sorry, it is not freedom, it is anarchy.
Society, organized in a democratic state, has both right and duty to influence rising of children, because children are future adults which will rule this state.
I do not think parents should be forced about what to teach their children (as in most muslim countries), but to be more educated, („enlightened“?, sorry, English is not my native language), in their duty of raising children.
Maybe this blog is a modest contribution to this aim.
I can only hope that at least in one single case, after reading this blog, somebody will put finger on his forehead and start to think instead to just blindly follow religious nonsenses and very dangerous religious „morality“.
