Petrine privilege

The term "Petrine Privilege" seems to come from a defence of the new norms by Fr.

In essence, the Petrine Privilege is an extension of the logic of the Pauline privilege to cases of marriage between baptised and non-baptised spouses.

The Petrine Privilege (allowing remarriage after divorce) may be invoked if only one of the partners was baptized at the time of marriage, despite the fact that Paul does not himself comment on the lawfulness of such a remarriage.

Petrine Privilege, also known as the Privilege of Faith or a decree in favor of the faith, is a provision in the Canon Law of the Roman Catholic Church granting a previously married person the right to marry under certain specific circumstances.
