One point I found particularly interesting was the distinction between valid and legitimate matrimony. Prior to the Council of Trent, valid indicated a monogamous, faithful relationship between two people for the rest of their lives, while legitimate was reserved as a description of marriages only ordained by the priest. We see the need for the Church to clarify such a distinction and with the Council of Trent elevate marriage to the status of a sacrament and require consent, witnesses, and a priest for the marriage to be official. I wonder if in other ethnic groups this type of distinction existed? What was the effect of the Council of Trent on marriages in other ethnic groups? – Mary Beth | One point I found particularly interesting was the distinction between valid and legitimate matrimony.

| + | I, like Mary Beth, found the distinction between valid and legitimate matrimony as very intresting. The section about the Council of Trent was informative in how it articulated the views of legitimacy as epr teh Council. I too was intrested in the role the Council played outside of the studied ethinic group and would guess that it would be somewhat similar. | ||
