I've always had a whole bunch of hypothetical questions to ask that are never worth dedicating a whole thread to. Nothing deep enough for a discussion; just a bunch of frivolous "what if" sort of questions. So I thought it would be a good idea just to make one big thread to compound them all together! I'd be interested to see what kind of questions and answers we can come up with... JOIN IN IF YOU HAVE ANY TO ADD!!! biggrin I'll start with this one: Does anyone know the movie Castaway? Suppose a married man is stranded on a desert island for a long time and his wife assumes him dead. She remarries. Years later, the man is rescued and goes to return to his wife only to find she has a new husband and children. In the eyes of the church, which man would it be right for her to be with? Suppose she loves the first one, but has children with the second: does that change your opinion?

Suppose she loves the first one, but has children with the second: does that change your opinion? okay, so the first marriage remains valid, the second marriage isn't valid, the wife probably isn't responsible for adultery because she had to intention to betray her husband. she would have to leave the second family, but would be advised to stay in the life of her children so she can be a good mother. That's my take anyway

Thought of another one last night...
Suppose all of mankind was destroyed by a nuclear disaster. However, one single man and one single woman were able to find shelter and survive.
If neither were married, would it be wrong of them to have relations in order to repopulate the earth?
Suppose one (or both) were a religious. Should they hold true to their vows of chastity, or should they lift them in order to preserve the human species?
(Assume that they have all the necessary resources and tools for survival.)

Princess Serikiyo I'll start with this one: Does anyone know the movie Castaway? Suppose a married man is stranded on a desert island for a long time and his wife assumes him dead. She remarries. Years later, the man is rescued and goes to return to his wife only to find she has a new husband and children. In the eyes of the church, which man would it be right for her to be with? Suppose she loves the first one, but has children with the second: does that change your opinion? I assume it would be possible to get an annulment in this case for either of those marriages. Clearly the woman could get an annulment from her current marriage, as I'm sure the technicality of her previous husband still being alive would invalidate that. As for the old marriage, my initial instinct is to say that this could be annulled as well, but I really have no idea why it would be. . . . . (that is, I don't know what reason they would give for the annulment, not why they would want the annulment) As for which man the woman should stay with, I think there are too many factors in any given individual's life to know which person she should stay with, some of those factors being the ones you mentioned (children and love).

Should they hold true to their vows of chastity, or should they lift them in order to preserve the human species? (Assume that they have all the necessary resources and tools for survival.) As far as I know, it's impossible for two people to repopulate the world without some serious divine intervention, what with the whole limited gene pool thing. And if there is divine intervention, I'd hope that it included God telling the people what to do. Anyway, as for the whole, "can they have sex if nobody is alive to marry them?" question, I'm pretty sure they could marry themselves in that case. After all, in a normal Catholic marriage, the priest is not the minister of the sacrament. The couple is. The Priest's role is simply the help out and be the chief witness.

In the catholic church they state that they don't belive that your truly married unless you are married in the church so heres a question is ether of these valid? xD

Also, due to large undeniably, insanely, outrageously high levels of radiation, they would probably be severely irradiated and both sterile. biggrin
