Dear AskACatholic.com,

I was wondering about being born illegitimate (out of wedlock).

I know about the verses in the Holy Bible that say illegitimates are cursed, deprived of rights, and sinful.

  • I was wondering if it's possible to somehow get a dispensation from this, like it was with the defect of birth; if somehow I could absolve this with God?

Please let me know.

Paul replied:

Dear Anonymous,

The dispensation and absolution you speak of occurred when Jesus died on the Cross so we may be in union with God by the sending of the Holy Spirit.

As St. Paul mentions, we are all equal members of the body of Christ now. God loves all of us regardless of how we got here or our family situation.

Paul
