We praise you, God of our ancestors, we praise your name for ever and ever.  Let all your created order praise you for ever.  You made Adam, and Eve his partner and support; and those two were parents of the human race.  This was your word:  It is not good for the man to be alone; let us make him a helpmate like him.  I now take this my beloved to be my partner, not out of self interest but in true marriage.  Grant that we may find mercy and grow old together.


Te alabamos, Dios a nuestros antepasados, alebamos tu nombre para siempre jamás.  Que todos los creados para su alabanza siempre.  Que ha hecho Adán y Eva y el apoyo de su pareja, y los dos fueron los padres de la toda la raza humana.  Este fue su palabra:  no es bueno para el hombre esté solo, hagamos de él un socio como el.  Ahora mi querido aprovechar esta mi pareja, no por interés propio, pero en verdad el matrimonio.  Haz que podamos encontrar la misericordia y envejecer juntos.
-Tobit, 8, 5b-7


The Toledo Diocesan Tribunal, together with the whole Church, believes in the sacramental dignity of that which Tobiah and Sarah called ‘true marriage’ - a marriage crafted in the will and love of God, a marriage that endures through good times and bad, through troubled times and graced times, which creates a fully functioning society in which husband and wife are coequal in dignity, responsibility and love, a society which becomes “sign and symbol of God’s love for his people.”  In the service of justice and truth, the Tribunal assists those who believe that their marital consent did not rise to that dignity, and who therefore seek to ease the conscience regarding a past decision which directly led to a failed marital bond, or to obtain a declaration of freedom to marry according to the Law of Christ and of his Church.

Como la hace la Iglesia, este Tribunal afrima la dignidad sacramental de lo que Tobías y Sara denominado ‘verdadero matrimonio’ - un matrimonio construido en la voluntad y amor de Dios, un matrimonio que perdura en el tiemo y en el mal, con problemas en el día y adornado días, que crea entre el marido y la esposa de una sociedad en la que ambos son co-iguales en dignidad, responsibilidad y amor.  En el servicio a la justicia y la verdad, el Tribunal presta asistencia a aquellos creen que su consentimiento matrimonial no lugar a que la dignidad y que, por tanto, solicitar una declaración de la libertad de casarse con arreglo a ley Cristo y su Iglesia.

To make available the services of truth and justice,  as part of the general services funded in part by the ACA (Annual Capital Campaign), the Diocese maintains a highly trained canonical staff versed in both the law and its application in a very human world.  Please feel free to contact the Catholic Center or any of our trained Field Advocates to discuss beginning a process or to obtain further information.

Para disposición los servicios de la verdad y la justicia, la Diócesis de Toledo mantiene un personal altamente capacitado canónica versado tanto en la ley y su aplicación en un mundo humano.  Para nuestra población de habla hispana, por favor, siéntase libre de correo electronico el Vicario Judicial (cvasko@toledodiocese.org) o de asistencia para comenzar de proceso.
