Most dioceses in the USA experimented with allowing outdoor any kind of sacrament in the 1960's and 70's and soon discovered what a mistake it was!
Don't these dioceses have a memory of any kind? Evidently not, given our return to the 1970's these past five years:
If you grew up Catholic, there are a few things you know to be true:
nuns can be terrifying, nearly everything is a sin, and the best words
you'll ever hear in your life are, "The mass has ended, go in peace."
But along with those rules (and a long list of others), one big part of
the Catholic faith is your commitment to the Church—and that means

marriages are meant to be performed by a Catholic priest inside either
the bride or groom's parish church. For years (centuries, that is), this
has stood as principle—if a Catholic bride and groom wanted to wed in
another venue (a beach or rooftop, for example) the couple would not be

Man, that article is annoying. Couldn't read the whole thing. Few things frustrate me more than a sarcastic disregard for the Church. Not liking Catholicism is one thing. Just being snarky about it is another, and I stop listening once someone goes that route.
I understand that Cardinal Marx is petitioing to allow Catholics to commune with nature. And vice versa.

what is "cannon" law?
