Dissolution of marriage and apostolic privilege
Velimir Blažević
Sažetak
Indissolubility is an essential characteristic of marriage. But while some marriages are absolutely indissoluble, there are those that can be dissolved either on the
basis of Pauline Privilege or through special Apostolic privilege. We discuss marriage
dissolution based on the authority of the Pope, or on apostolic privilege.
Based on this principle, it is possible to dissolve a non-sacramental marriage
between two non-baptized persons, even though neither is baptized; or the marriage
of a non-baptized and a baptized non-Catholic person; or the marriage of a Catholic
person and a non-baptized person if dissolution can be judged to benefit faith and the
eternal salvation of those persons, or a person with whom a valid marriage is intended
to be made. In such cases, after an investigation conducted in a manner determined
by the regulations of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has found that the
marriage is not sacramental and that its dissolution will favor faith, a marriage may
be dissolved on papal authority.
