Dr Ed Peters: Remarks on the Lawler-Risch US Catholic article

Michael Lawler and Gail Risch (U.S. Catholic on-line) propose to treat certain co-habiting couples essentially as married. This bad idea should, and will, go nowhere (Abps.

I should point out, though, that L&R's presentation of the canon law on marriage is problematic in several respects.
