L'Eglise Aristotelicienne Romaine The Roman and Aristotelic Church

[ventular]

Greetings,
as I tend a church at the town with so little people that I thought that there will never be a need for me to perform any rites I was quite depressed about it for a while. But it seems that Jah heard my sighs and prayers and from faraway Itally a couple of visitors arrived and they expressed a wish to be married at our little church.
Even with language barrier (my Italian is no better than my French, which is absolute zero level) eager groom already reserved time and now is (as much I can understand) overjoyed and extatic. I asked if they were baptised but he said he is not sure and asked if I could baptise them before the wedding.
So, I am here at Rome, asking for help on so many levels that I am not sure where to start..

I have this at my church:

Dear sister,

Firstly let me welcome you into these halls! I'm glad that you've found a road that leads to rome.

Now lets get to the topic, shall we

I always find it helpful to take the book and read it in this case it would be the following book

Thank you very much.
I will talk with Jonrod and ask him if his bride is willing to accept not only his hand in marriage but also his faith.

I was visiting Rome before, but as I never had anything to ask and my French is really non-existant I always felt weak at heart about speaking up here. [thank you google for very helpfull translator tool]

I do hope that this marriage will go through. Would be a nice example for my silent parishiners that church really DO have some other use except walking around it.

I am with you in prayers my sister.

Fear not the french that is around this labyrinth of rome we have english sub sections almost everywhere! That should not stop you from achieveing anything. And if you find that your life is a bit too quiet how about joining a congregation?

I got confirmation from Jonrod that his future wife Odilla is ready to accept belief of Aristotle. I am so looking forward to going through with this all

So, further question, after Baptism and Wedding rites, to make them official, I have to note them here at apropriate threads, and that is it?

About joining congregation, what does that mean? I mean, what does congregation do?

((early morning, still did not finished my coffee))

I'm glad to hear the good news my sister.

Let us open the book again, shall we.

have you done this?

uhhhm lets see...

I live in a village with 77 people of which there is like 5 who are showing signs of religious life (showing up on Sunday sermon occassionally when Big Brotgher watches them) but none of them shows any interest in anything I speak about (advertising advantages of being baptised and such) during sermons (so I kinda gave up so just do readings from Book of Virtues every now and then).

Then a week ago those 2 came by boat and expressed desire to be married and bought a right for it via "Publication of banns" and then I published it at my church bilboard at the village town square and came here seekeng for advice.

so what is a prohibition and how can I find out if they are sublected to it or not?
is 7 days enough?
is "attending the sermon" good enough to be considered "Faithful"?
And, for the end, their token will open up the church tonight, and I kinda cannot tell them now to wait one more week and spend one more token for the wedding.. can I bless them now and do RP wedding during the course of the week and then make it official? (with nice pictures from the church and all )

Yes, this helps a lot. Thank you very much for your patience and guiding.

I should have learn about all this things before, but I really did not think I will ever have oportunity to really perform any rites. Keeping doors of the church open was all I was needed for over a year since I chose to walk this path.

I will try my best to do a proper job.

...

Just checked, my bishop Bennet is in retreat. I will message Kitialeah, second member of Diocesan council.

I am sorry for not replying sooner. No matter how much I like doing all this things, my daily schedule is too unpredictable and simply does not allow me to get involved more than what I can do during weekends.

Last sunday I baptised Jonrod and Odilla and now we will prepare the wedding for the two.

I will register their baptism at apropriate thread
