Boris and Carrie have got married!

Rules are :-
2 baptised people - 1 a Catholic
Previous marriages of divorcé weren't in Catholic churches so therefore not recognised by church
Says BBC

I wonder if she is pregnant with baby no 2? Just a thought.

I wonder who paid for it ?

Now that the Catholic Church is marrying divorcees, perhaps they will give consideration to same sex couples.

Or perhaps you have to be a PM with a dodgy marital past to be considered?

I think a Catholic can be PM.

Not that faith seems to bother Johnson too much. He seems to have broken most of the 10 Commandments with impunity.

I wasn't going to comment on Johnson himself, but I'll tell you this.

I actually cried on the morning of the Brexit result - not because of the result itself, but because I was that scared of Johnson becoming PM.

I wish to God now that he had actually become PM then.
That way we would have got shut of him before all of this (the pandemic) happened.
He's the worst possible PM at the worst possible time.

So right

I don’t imagine he spends much time in the confessional.

Perhaps they’re going to sell the pics to Hello magazine to raise a bit of cash.

I think it’s great that they married in secret. Wish a few more famous people would keep their nuptials low key.

I’ve just looked up the Catholic’s and PM Fanny

It said Tony Blair is the only PM to be a Catholic, and he converted after leaving office. Didn’t actually say the PM couldn’t be a Catholic, but I only skimmed it.

Boris's mother is Catholic and he was baptised as Catholic.
He became Anglican when at Eton.
Carrie was baptised as Catholic.
A Catholic cannot be Prime Minister.
You may recall that Blair became RC after he left office.

I'm not sure about the PM / Catholic bit now...
It would be good to hear from someone more knowledgeable than me!

There was / is a regular poster who is an expert on all things Catholic, I can't recall her name.

Good luck to them. I didn't know he was a Catholic.

I am glad they have got married and I wish them well.

I wonder if those gushing over the wedding are the same ones who claim no interest in Johnson’s’s private life.

Don't think this pair could win no matter what they did. If they had a big wedding there would be comments about who paid for it, Carrie's dress sense, seeking publicity, etc. They decide to have a quiet wedding and still there are unpleasant comments. I would rather wish them luck and happiness for the future as I would for any couple.

She obviously wanted a ring on it.

I don't understand why any woman would be remotely interested in this oaf.
Since Carrie is interested in him, I'm very dubious about her powers of reasoning.

Congratulations and best wishes Carrie and Boris!

How charming he is! If he has married in church on the grounds that his first marriages were not in catholic churches, not only has he divorced his ex wives but he has demonstrated that they don't even exist. His other children may be legal but he obviously doesn't care that they are now illegitimate in the eyes of the church. Typical of the man - me, me, me.

Has Carrie actually thought all this through? Why is she tying herself to this oaf? I suppose she's got to protect the baby's rights when they split up.

Congratulations to them, assuming it’s true.

What a mockery of marriage. Marry the mistress create a vacancy is the old saying, how true but one of them has to be the last due to age.
I don't know why anyone keeps getting married, all those vows mean nothing.

Did it feature Dilyn the dog?
