No Catholic should attack Joseph over the age of his wives. Their own canon law allowed these marriages in Joseph's lifetime. "Until 1917, canon law had basically considered anyone above the age of 12 capable of marriage. Thus, when the 1917 Code raised the minimum age for marriage in the church to 14 for girls and 16 for boys (1917 CIC 1067), the change was greeted as an improvement" Not to mention that 14 year old girls are STILL permitted to marry today. So why have Matt Fradd, Joe Heschmeyer, Trent Horn, and others used his brides ages against him?
