Summary/Abstract: The Symposium “Faith and marriage. Are changes in law desirable?” was held in Kraków on November 19th, 2015. It was organized by the Faculty of Canon Law of the John Paul II Papal University of Kraków. The main topic of the conference was the meaning of the faith for the validity of marriage in canon law. Five speeches were delivered over the course of two sessions. Speeches concerned the nupturient’s faith, definitions of “faith” and “act of faith”, the sacramentality of marriage as a subject of faith, and its meaning for the validity of matrimonial consent. Other speeches were about the concept marriage concept in Protestantism (especially its non-sacramentality and secular character, as well as the significance of the faith of the nupturients for its validity), the civil (state) law marriage bond as an impediment for joining the Catholic Church, the place of celebration of marriage, and its celebration outside the liturgy of the Eucharist (especially in disparitas cultus marriages and mixtae nuptiae sensu stricto).
