Accidentally typed “indistinct buttering” instead of muttering and that is somehow super creepy. Like, you can just barely hear…in the other room…the scrape of a knife against toast.
They can start having sex as soon or as far away from their wedding night as they feel comfortable with.
However, you do have to consummate your marriage if you are Catholic. The Church also encourages the practice of natural family planning, so if you are trying to avoid pregnancy that might mean abstaining from relations until a later date from your wedding, until you are infertile or at certain periods in your marriage, but if you don’t consummate your marriage (as a Catholic) that can be grounds for an annulment from my understanding.
Ok but what about Mary and Joseph though? They never consummated their marriage. Why is that a bad thing? Seriously, someone tell me
Because Mary was a virgin dedicated to God’s service, who was then chosen to be His mother, and Joseph was to be her guardian. Furthermore, the Holy Family’s purpose was to raise up the Savior before He would start His ministry, not emulate marriage for other people to copy. They had a valid marriage, but it was a special exception, considering they were raising God in the flesh Himself.
Except they did consummate their marriage, because they had children after Christ was born
I think Catholics are just making it up as they go
Thanks for showcasing your ignorance on the topic of our faith but it contributed nothing to the conversation. Have a nice day!
Thanks for not even responding to the counter argument besides an ad hominum. I mean, Matthew 1:25 clearly says they did consummate.
If you need a response to libertypical, I and others have pointed out that the brothers and sisters mentioned Matthew 13:55-56 aren’t necessarily even siblings given how translations to vernacular keep real close to literal wording. By that I mean, in Genesis 13:8 and 14:12 Abraham and Lot refer to each other as brothers when they are uncle and nephew. And if you take into account the chronology of events, the siblings from Matthew couldn’t be blood related unless they somehow aged twice as fast as a normal human being.
And Matthew 1:25, there have, again, been multiple posts about how various “until”s in the Bible were used to draw emphasis to what came before the “until” and said nothing of what came after. Meaning they were drawing emphasis to the fact that Jesus was not the result of sex between the two. Other examples of such emphasis which would be very confusing if an inherent change was required of an “until”:
2 Samuel 6:23: And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to until the day of her death. Does this mean she had children after she died?

Timothy 4:13: Until I come, attend to the public reading of scripture,
to preaching, to teaching. Does this mean Timothy should stop teaching
after Paul comes?
1 Corinthians 15:25: For He (Christ) must
reign until He has put all his enemies under His feet. Does this mean
Christ’s reign will end? Luke 1:33 says, “He will reign
over the house of Jacob forever and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” Does this mean 1 Corinthians should be expunged as heretical for suggesting an end to Christ’s reign? Or does it just emphasis His requirement to reign?
In fact there was a full blown debate on this matter that pointed to the fact that the only people who think Matthew 1:25 suggests sex are English speakers, so do with this what you will.
my bf and his coworker went to wales to buy £75 worth of bionicles from someone on gumtree, came back with five huge boxes and bin liners full, and are now setting them up in the attic to divide them. also i just overheard my bf accidentally refer to a instructions booklet as ‘the menu’
i said they should combine them all into one, but they aren’t going for it
