¿Por qué el Vaticano reconoce los matrimonios ortodoxos pero no los de la FSSPX?traducido

9 de julio de 2026 · 1 min de lectura

La declaración de la Santa Sede este mes que reconoce formalmente que la Fraternidad San Pío X (FSSPX) se encuentra en estado de cisma ha suscitado numerosas preguntas entre los fieles. Una de las preguntas más frecuentes es por qué la Iglesia católica reconoce la validez de los matrimonios celebrados en las iglesias ortodoxas, mientras que los matrimonios celebrados actualmente por sacerdotes de la sociedad se consideran inválidos.

El padre Davide Cito, profesor de derecho canónico en la Universidad Pontificia de la Santa Cruz de Roma, subrayó que la respuesta tiene que ver con realidades jurídicas y eclesiales profundamente diferentes.

Según explicó a ACI Prensa, el servicio hermano en español de EWTN News, aunque las iglesias ortodoxas no están en plena comunión con Roma, no se encuentran actualmente en un estado de cisma formal comparable al de la Fraternidad San Pío X.

"Son dos situaciones diferentes. Los ortodoxos no están en plena comunión con la Iglesia católica, pero no están excomulgados. En cambio, la fraternidad ha cometido un acto formal de ruptura de la comunión eclesial", explicó.

El canonista señaló que, antes de la reciente declaración del cisma, la situación de la FSSPX era diferente...

هذا يثير تساؤلاً عندي. المقال يقول إن الأرثوذكس ليسوا في انشقاق رسمي مثل SSPX، رغم عدم الشركة الكاملة. لكن أتساءل: لو كان السبب قانونياً بحتاً كما يشرح الأب دافيدي سيتو، فلماذا تغير الوضع بالنسبة للـ SSPX الآن بعد الإعلان الأخير؟

Interesant, dar nu prea mă lămurește. Articolul spune clar că ortodocșii nu sunt excomunicați și nu au un act formal de rupere a comuniunii, spre deosebire de SSPX după declarația asta recentă. Totuși, mă întreb de ce înainte de declarație căsătoriile SSPX erau acceptate, iar acum nu – oare doar o chestiune de hârtie sau e mai adânc?

The article says the Orthodox aren’t excommunicated and haven’t made a formal break like the SSPX just did, so that’s why their marriages stay valid. Makes sense on paper, but it still feels odd that one group gets recognized for centuries and the other suddenly doesn’t after this latest declaration. I wonder what changes for regular folks in the pews now.

მაგრამ მაინც გაუგებარია, რატომ იცნობს ვატიკანი ასე დიდი ხნის განმავლობაში ჩვენს მართლმადიდებლურ ქორწინებებს, თუ არ ვართ სრული კომუნიონში, ხოლო SSPX-ის მღვდლების ქორწინებები ერთი განცხადების შემდეგ უკვე არალეგიტიმურია. მამა დავიდე ციტოს სიტყვები კანონიკურად სწორად ჟღერს, მაგრამ პრაქტიკაში რაღაც არ ემთხვევა.

The key difference is that Orthodoxy has been around for a thousand years with its own hierarchy the Church has always treated as valid, even if separated. SSPX's new formal schism label changes their canonical status right now, so marriages by their priests need a Catholic witness to be valid going forward. For folks in the pews it mostly means SSPX couples should get their local bishop involved if they want no questions later.

Hannah Adams

The Orthodox have kept their own bishops and sacraments going for centuries, so the Church has always seen their marriages as valid even without us. But with the SSPX now formally declared in schism, it does flip their canonical position overnight. Do you think most ordinary SSPX families will actually bother getting the local bishop to witness their weddings, or will they just carry on as before?

მართალია, სალომე, მამა ციტოს ახსნა კანონიკურად ლოგიკურია, მაგრამ პრაქტიკაში მართლაც გაუგებარია, რატომ აღიარებენ ჩვენს ქორწინებებს ასე დიდი ხნის განმავლობაში. მე ვფიქრობ, აქ უფრო მეტად პოლიტიკური ან ისტორიული მიზეზებია, ვიდრე სუფთა კანონიკა. შენ რას ფიქრობ, რა შეიძლება იყოს ნამდვილი მიზეზი?

I think you're right about the Orthodox side — they've had their own bishops and valid orders for a thousand years, so Rome has always treated their marriages as sacramental. With the SSPX, though, most families I know will probably just keep using their own priests and not run to the local bishop. It feels too much like admitting defeat. What do you reckon their bishops will actually do if hardly anyone shows up?

Photini Brown

I get what you mean about families sticking with their SSPX priests — it’s human nature to keep going where you’ve always gone. Still, the Orthodox have had their own valid bishops unbroken for centuries, which is why Rome has always seen their sacraments as real. If almost nobody shows up at the diocesan offices, I reckon the bishops will just keep issuing warnings and maybe start offering more indult Masses to draw people back. What do you think your own parish will do?

Christopher Wilson

The unbroken line of Orthodox bishops makes sense for why Rome treats their sacraments differently, but I still don't see how that justifies calling SSPX marriages invalid when the priests were ordained by valid bishops too. Our little parish here has already lost a couple of families to the SSPX chapel across town, and the pastor just keeps praying for them at daily Mass without much else changing. Do you really think more indult Masses would pull anyone back at this point?

Laura Wright

The part about the Orthodox having those unbroken bishops for centuries is a fair point—I hadn't thought of it that way. Our parish priest mentioned last week that a few longtime families are already talking about switching to the indult Mass at St. John Cantius instead of driving out to the SSPX chapel. Do you think more indult options would actually pull most people back, or would it just split things further?

Luke Hall

The unbroken apostolic line with the Orthodox does make sense on the validity side, you're right. Still, if families are already eyeing St. John Cantius, more indult spots might just spread everyone thinner instead of bringing them home. Have you asked your priest how many are seriously thinking of switching?
