*Babies are another std risk*

yeah, because they're breaking the vows of commitment and not following the church's teachings

As a non christian i disagree with the *vows of the church* thing

especially since the tradition predates said church

The church was the first to care about the consent of the women in the case of maariage

wrong

No

Tha

what do you mean? Jeudochristianity invented monogamous marriage

Handfasting in norse, celt, and otherwise

Mutual consent was a Catholic tradition

Wrong

Catholicism had arranged marriages

you cant just say wrong

and no

Yes they did lol

The catholic church refused to allow non mutually consenting marriages

*'consent'*

The middle ages was filled with arranged marriages to obtain land and status

There are numerous historical examples of this

that didnt mean they were condoned by the scriptures

those were family arrangements

The first consenting of women in marriages was handfasting of the northern european religions. The women had the right to choose and even divorce

Just because people conducted those actions does not mean the catholic church recognized those pagan behaviors

Catholicism had a loose *concent* as a woman wouldnt disobey the family

Who cares what is traditional or not. Is it a net positive?

yes

Tradition is based on what worked

👏

it's better than the STD fest of Midle-eastern polygamy

The harams

banging little boys

You realize most catholic traditions were taken from pagan traditions

False

Ahhh, yes, the Tea Boys or w/e

wrong again

False

are you catholic? @DanConway

Obviously

False

Ever hear the Constantinople Meeting. It is where they took and left much of the bible and added pagan traditions to aid conversion
