Anyone else seen the news?? Another baby on the way, relationship on the rocks, or good old fashioned age gap love?

Has he converted then?

I think, though I know fuck all, that Meghan Markle had to convert to CofE to marry H in Windsor Chapel?

It's a lovely Cathedral with great views from the spire

Theworldisfullofgs · 29/05/2021 20:23

Don't know why anyone would want yo marry him...but then again if you're prepared to have an affair with a married man when his wife has cancer...

They may have had a blessing but I very much doubt they married in a Catholic church. If they did then catholic churches will have to rewrite the rules for everyone.

Changechangychange · 29/05/2021 20:24

Well I suppose once he realised he’d have to pay for it himself if they married at Chequers, he was always going to look for a cheaper option Grin

Nahhh · 29/05/2021 20:24

Usually it wouldn’t matter if he did. Without an annulment which is very hard to be granted by the Catholic Church, in the eyes of the church Boris is still married to his first wife, never mind his second, so they wouldn’t dream of marrying him a third time.

MercyBooth · 29/05/2021 20:24

The same CC who refused to marry me and my DH because DH had been married ONCE before.

doubleshotespresso · 29/05/2021 20:27

If this is true that Boris has been permitted marriage in the Catholic church that's absolutely disgraceful. I wonder if they perhaps just had a blessing there?
God knows they'll Carrie will need a blessing or two.

Tealightsandd · 29/05/2021 20:27

Maybe he wanted to get in before George Osborne? When is George's new baby due and marriage planned for, I can't remember?

Wetcappuccino · 29/05/2021 20:28

If hiss previous weddings were not in a Catholic Church they “do not count” Hmm - so that is why he will have been allowed.

@Goodweatherforsnails

I’m a total cynic, but how convenient that Boris has a nice distraction in the headlines round about now...
Indeed. And Carrie is a fool if she thinks the timing is about anything else.

Just as she's a fool for thinking a serial adulterer and all-out git is going to change.

Ostara212 · 29/05/2021 20:31

I'm sure Carrie knows what she's doing.

ChicChaos · 29/05/2021 20:31

I'm finding it hard to believe that someone could get married for a third time in a Catholic Cathedral.

DarkDarkNight · 29/05/2021 20:31

Burying bad news. So bloody predictable but it will work.

Theworldisfullofgs · 29/05/2021 20:31

My parents had a blessing because of his previous marriage on a CofE church.

Nuggetnugget · 29/05/2021 20:31

I could be wrong but Boris was baptised Catholic and converted later on to Church of England

nancy75 · 29/05/2021 20:31

I think the first marriage was annulled , but the second was a divorce

Rockbird · 29/05/2021 20:31

My brother wasn't allowed to marry his divorced non Catholic wife in our parish church. So previous non Catholic marriages do apply.

Leonardsgirl · 29/05/2021 20:32

Well done Carrie. You really do have him by the nuts.

This is a huge mistake by Johnson. I think he's an utter fool who will come to regret this. Stupid fool.

MercyBooth · 29/05/2021 20:33

@Wetcappuccino DHs previous wedding was registry office as was ours

TheWeeDonkey · 29/05/2021 20:34

Oh look... squirrel!

This isn’t true.

JinglingHellsBells · 29/05/2021 20:37

but only a few days ago all the papers were reporting they had sent out a 'save the date' for end of July 2020.

Chuckling over she is a Catholic- which bits of her religion does she actually follow? (maybe the no birth control bit but bugger the rest.)

Rosehip10 · 29/05/2021 20:38

Carrie is an airhead.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Boris was actually raised Catholic but later converted to CoE?

No that's not the case. In the eyes of the church (& applicable to the rest of us lowly folks), previous marriages remain unless a spouse is deceased. I would expect that the annulment of his first marriage would be exempt, but the rest would prevent anybody else being granted permission according to Catholic Church teachings and rules.
