Congratulations, Tiffany, on your engagement and subsequent wedding plans!!
‼Very important ALERT To
Tiffany Maurice-Christy and Matthew Matt Ferris, of MF OPTOMETRY‼
As to your wedding and possible future plans, in which you mentioned talking to a priest about marriage, I will make the following as short and as sweet as possible. Both of you claim to be Catholics, yet clearly shacked up and had 'activities' prior to marriage. This is obvious to everyone. You, Tiffany, also had ovum removed for possible uses later on. Those 'uses' are categorically and strictly forbidden by the Catholic Church.
To be clear, the Catholic Church's stance on pregnancy is
NATURAL or NOTHING--NO EXCEPTIONS. The Catholic Church's answer to infertility is
ADOPTION. There are orphans in need of adoption in every country.
So, Tiffany, if you plan on getting another woman inseminated with Matt's sperm and your ovum, do NOT get married in the Catholic Church.
BE HONEST and have a civil wedding instead.
If you and Matt get married in the Catholic Church, i.e., take the holy sacrament of marriage, THEN you should follow the rules of the Church.
You should NEVER LIE to the priest about following the precepts of the Catholic church just to get a church wedding like a princess only to be DECEIVING the priest about your INTENTIONS for surrogacy.
Also, don't think you can get away with lying to your audience or family or others as well, as in saying that the priest gave you and Matt an 'exception' to the surrogacy rule.
Tiffany, there ARE NO EXCEPTIONS to that rule in the Catholic Church. It is
NATURAL PREGNANCY or NO PREGNANCY, and NO EXCEPTIONS.
Tiffany, you likely already thought that your health situation warranted an 'exception' to living with a man outside of marriage. There are no exceptions to that, either, and YOU and MATT should go to confession before getting married. Actually, if you are really a true Catholic, either YOU or MATT should move OUT until the marriage date. You could easily move back with Amma, as, apparently, you and Matt want to correct your ways vis-à-vis the Catholic church, right?
Tiffany, IF you get married in the Catholic Church and then proceed with surrogacy, YOU AND MATT will be called out on this in a very, very detailed, no-holds barred video. IF you think you can LIE your way into a Catholic marriage, and then proceed with surrogacy by feeding your audience and others the bullshit line of 'priest gave me an exception', that will clearly be a lie. If you try to insist that, really, the priest gave you an exeption, THEN I WILL REPORT YOUR NAME and MATT's NAME along with the diocese in which your marriage was held (easily available information) to the VATICAN itself so that the priest will be DULLY DEFROCKED. Believe me, the pope WILL DEFROCK a priest for saying that surrogacy is acceptable for you. I will also make a video in which I will expose this entire 'situation' in case there is even a HINT of a discrepancy between what you are doing after your marriage regarding a child and what is allowable by the Catholic Church. Enough is enough of fakery, lies, and disrespect to the Catholic Church of which you CLAIM to be a member.
So, Tiffany, proceed very, very carefully with your wedding plans. If surrogacy is on the table for you, then have a civil wedding only, not a Catholic wedding. NEVER lie to a priest. Having an unspoken intention to do something that is strictly forbidden by the Catholic Church is tantamount to lying as well. ‼
