Aug 25, 2015 at 14:32 comment added Matt Gutting It's not quite the same thing. You're saying "it's a Jewish custom, not a Catholic one"; we're saying "what custom it was doesn't matter; a marriage is a marriage". But now we're getting into a substantive discussion, better for chat (which I don't really have time for today).
Aug 25, 2015 at 14:19 comment added The Freemason @MattGutting I think we're saying the same thing, see my comment on your answer which expands my comment above.
Aug 25, 2015 at 14:05 comment added Matt Gutting @TheFreemason I disagree. The question asks whether the marriage was "a true marriage" according to Catholic teaching; it therefore relies on a Catholic understanding of what "a true marriage" is; and this Catholic understanding is independent of the Jewish tradition and understanding. The question asks whether the (current) Catholic definition of "valid marriage" applies to the first-century relationship between Joseph and Mary.

Aug 25, 2015 at 13:41 comment added The Freemason See my comment on Matt's answer. I think you're mingling two different traditions and applying a modern definition to an ancient practice.
