As far as I know, historically, the Church has consistently asked the husband to acknowledge only one of them to be his wife. He may continue to care for the others, but upon baptism he may only live and have marital relation with only one of them.

教會對執事取錄的要求雖然有基本的指引，但你問有關實際上的數據，卻因着各地區的資源及牧民情况，個個教區各有不同，所以你該問你的教區終身執事的負責人員。

婚姻無效並不是離婚，而是教會藉着可找到的證據，去判斷婚姻的核心元素有否曾發生，或有否雙方都曾真誠努力過。

先分開兩件事：獻彌撒，和彌撒金。每一台彌撒，都有無限的功德。要請求天主為我們的意向釋放這無限的功德，我們參與彌撒時誠心懷着這意向本身就足夠，不必一定要獻彌撒金。
