CWN Editor's Note: Archbishop José Adolfo Larregain, OFM, of Corrientes, Argentina, declared a marriage contracted last month between two transgender persons ipso facto null.
The putative marriage was contracted between a man who presents himself as a woman and a woman who presents herself as a man. At the time, the parish priest said that he had consulted with Archbishop Larregain, and that the prelate had found no canonical impediment to wedding because they were of opposite sexes.
