The majority or the flock are no longer in the "zone of perfect marriages" and therefore authorise "pseudo-marriage" with their blessing
1201. That the world today is full of these "pseudo-marriages" does not alter the cosmic structure of marriage or life's own law of marriage, but proves merely that the flock or the majority are no longer in the "zone of the perfect marriages", and that they no longer possess the specific, particular qualifications for this marriage, these, on the contrary, having degenerated in the individuals of the flock. "Pseudo-marriages" are therefore authorised with the blessing of the flock. One no longer knows what "a really perfect marriage" is. Those who are of the flock know only the "marriage of the flock".
