I read that too, about the paraplegic. My understanding of it is that the man can be infertile for whatever reason, but he can not be impotent, at least not on the wedding night. So, many handicapped men such as a paraplegic can never have a Catholic marriage/wedding or hope to have his marriage blessed by the church. However, if he can consumate the marriage on Friday night and becomes paralyzed from the neck down on Saturday morning, it's "ok".
I think that is one of the most cruel "rules" there are because they are basically saying that a man who is paralyzed from the neck down in a childhood car wreck, through NO fault of his own, can never experience the sacrament of marriage or have his marriage recognized by the church. To a staunch Catholic who would never dream of breaking the rules, this is a life sentence to never being able to take a soulmate/partner to share his life. He is doomed to a life alone for something that was not his choice or fault. That doesn't sound very merciful to me, or fair.
They let ANY criminal have death bed confessions and be forgiven, marry, have kyds, etc......Yet, the paraplegic is denied a wife and either IVF kids OR adopted kyds, simply because he is unable to get a hard on.
