This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|Catholic church's allowance on dissolution of marriage))
((Refimprove|date=April 2016))
[[File:File"-Saint Paul Writing His Epistles" by Valentin de Boulogne.jpg|thumb|''St Paul Writing His Epistles'' by [[Valentin de Boulogne]]]]

The '''Pauline privilege''' (((lang-la|privilegium Paulinum))) is the allowance by the [[Roman Catholic Church]] of the [[divorce|dissolution of marriage]] of two persons not [[baptism|baptized]] at the time the marriage occurred.<ref name="autogenerated1">((cite web |url=https://www.osv.com/OSVNewsweekly/Story/TabId/2672/ArtMID/13567/ArticleID/13797/The-Pauline-Privilege.aspx |title=Mannion, M. Francis. "The Pauline Privilege", The Catholic Answer, ''OSV Newsweekly'', January 3, 2014 |publisher=Osv.com |date=2014-01-03 |access-date=2018-04-05 |archive-date=2017-12-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201073727/https://www.osv.com/OSVNewsweekly/Story/TabId/2672/ArtMID/13567/ArticleID/13797/The-Pauline-Privilege.aspx |url-status=dead ))</ref> The Pauline privilege is drawn from the [[Paul the Apostle|apostle Paul]]'s instructions in the [[1 Corinthians|First Epistle to the Corinthians]].

==Origin==
((canon law|expanded=matrimonial))
The Pauline privilege is the allowance by the Church of the [[divorce|dissolution of marriage]] of two persons not [[baptism|baptized]] at the time the marriage occurred.<ref name="autogenerated1"/>

[[1 Corinthians 7]]:10–15 states:<blockquote>To the married I give charge, not I but the Lord, that the wife should not separate from her husband (but if she does, let her remain single or else be reconciled to her husband) --and that the husband should not divorce his wife. To the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.  If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is consecrated through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is consecrated through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy. 15  But if the unbelieving partner desires to separate, let it be so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us to peace."<ref>(((bibleverse|1|Corinthians|7:10–15)) [[Revised Standard Version|RSV]])</ref></blockquote>

The first section, "not I but the Lord", roughly matches [[Jesus]]' teaching on divorce, found in an [[Six Antitheses|antithesis]] ([[Matthew 5:32]]) with parallels in [[Matthew 19]]:9, [[Luke 16]]:18, and [[Mark 10]]:11. The second section, "I say, not the Lord", gives Paul's own teaching on divorce, and was initiated to address a serious pastoral problem in the Church in Corinth where problems apparently developed in marriages between believers and unbelievers. Therefore, in instances where the unbaptized spouse left the newly baptized spouse, Paul allowed the latter to enter into a new marriage.<ref name=Gantley/> 

In the [[Catholic Church]] and in some [[Protestantism|Protestant]] denominations this is interpreted as allowing the dissolution of a [[marriage]] between two non-baptized persons in the case that one (but not both) of the partners seeks baptism and [[Conversion to Christianity|converts to Christianity]] and the other partner leaves the marriage. Assuming it is established that both spouses were un-baptized at the time of their marriage, and subsequently obtained a civil divorce, should the now baptized party wish to enter into a sacramental marriage, the Pauline Privilege ("in favor of the faith") takes place ''ipso facto'' at the time of that marriage.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.archspm.org/sections/procedures-favor-faith-pauline-petrine-privilege/ |title="Procedures: Favor of the Faith", Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis |publisher=Archspm.org |access-date=2018-04-05))</ref> 

In the [[Latin Church]], the subject is covered in canons 1143–1147 and can be handled on the diocesan level.<ref name=Gantley>((cite web|url=http://www.ewtn.com/v/experts/showmessage.asp?number=410268 |title=Gantley, Mark J., "Petrine or Pauline Privilege", EWTN, September 3, 2004 |publisher=Ewtn.com |access-date=2018-04-05))</ref> For the [[Eastern Catholic Churches]] the applicable canons are found in the ''[[Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches]]'', canons 854–858.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20010430_favor-fidei_en.html |title=Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. "Norms on the Preparation of the Process for the Dissolution of the Marriage Bond in Favour of the Faith", April 30, 2001 |publisher=Vatican.va |access-date=2018-04-05))</ref>

According to the [[Canon law (Catholic Church)|Catholic Church's canon law]], the Pauline privilege does not apply when either of the partners was a Christian at the time of marriage. It differs from [[annulment]] because it dissolves a valid natural (but not sacramental) marriage whereas an annulment declares that a marriage was invalid from the beginning.<ref>[https://catholichawaii.org/diocesan-offices/diocesan-tribunal-canonical-affairs/pauline-privilege/ "Invocation of the Pauline Privilege", Roman Catholic Diocese of Hawaii]</ref> 

The related [[Petrine privilege]], which also allows remarriage after divorce, may be invoked if only one of the partners was baptized at the time of the first marriage.
