Sounds like your priest made some rules to speed the wedding along and is blaming the pope

FWIW, that article is from 2015 and the OP said these new rules were to begin on 2/1 of 2017.
I no longer have any dog in this fight, but I am curious as to the truth of it. Only thing I could find was this link, and as I'm not nearly that interested, I'm not reading all that crap...but the date is 2016 at least.

the priest said I may walk her halfway down the aisle, then I have to go to my seat. I cannot lift her veil, kiss her, or shake the grooms hand. AND, if I decide to walk her halfway down the aisle, the grooms father must walk him halfway as well. he can no longer wait in the front of the church. Otherwise they can walk by themselves or together. I'll be damned, I raised this kid for 24 years, I'm going to give her away like its always been.
That is the most cockamamie bullshite I have ever heard

It is absolutely specific church rules
When we got married, some churches said the bride had to wear sleeves. Some churches had wedding party restrictions, some said no flower girls.....

quote:What rule? Again, its just semantics/philosophy. It doesn't mean the father cant walk the bride down the aisle. It simply means that in the church's eyes she and the husband are willing entering the marriage and don't need the father to "give" her to the groom.
The fact the Catholic church feels they should be making this many more rules to an already restrictive and ridiculous regimen just makes me dislike this sector of Christianity more.

That is ridiculous. Got married in Catholic Church, did all of those things minus having someone under 6 in wedding party. The dad can't give the bride away? Seriously? And having more than one photographer actually helps move the wedding along... how stupid.

Just went to a Catholic wedding a few weeks ago...father gave away the bride, music at church was an organ player (no singer), and the wedding party had a flower girl and ring bearer that were both probably 3-4 years old.
Maybe your daughter should check with a priest from a different Catholic church...sounds like these are just crazy rules made up by one priest who doesn't like doing weddings.

IF it's true about the dad not being allowed to give away the bride anymore, I have a serious problem with that. Once word gets out there's going to be a lot of Catholics raising hell about this.

This is why being a good person >>> organized religion.

I realize that, but read the article.
The Church has been in the process of updating the translation since Vatican 2. The article notes that the new translation had yet to be implemented at that time.
Regardless, what his priest is requesting are church specific rules.
It's not uncommon for parishes to have restrictions on the dress type of the bride, type of flower arrangement, and other minor aspects of the ceremony.
Like I said before, the OP needs to find another church.

Asked the priest and he verified that is the new rules going forward and that he couldn't make any exceptions.
Played the Catholic church game for about 35 years. That last part is BS. You make a large enough donation and they'll change the rules.

Yea we didn't have these in august, so they must be new

New Pope is as popular as new coke and a SJW also.

-No longer will there be unity candles
-Fathers may no longer give the bride away
-Music must be a live singer that works at the church
-Limited number in wedding party
All wedding party must be over 6 years of age
no longer can give flowers during service to the Moms
Only one photographer during ceremony
I got married 2 weeks ago in the Catholic church and none of this shite was enforced. Find a different church...sounds like local leadership run amok.

Good. People shouldn't link marriage and their church anyway.
