| 0:30.2 | john writes in and he says what's a valid authentic marriage through God in the Catholic Church? I recently got |
| 0:38.6 | married through the court, and my Catholic friend, who's in the same position as myself, told me |
| 0:44.6 | that my marriage is valid so long as no sexual activity occurs, and it doesn't say anywhere in the |
| 0:52.8 | Bible that the marriage isn't valid. |
| 0:55.3 | Hmm. |
