1.(R. C. Ch.) A decree of the Congregation of the Council declaring invalid [so far as the laws of the Roman Catholic Church are concerned] any marriage of a Roman Catholic, or of a person who has ever been a Roman Catholic, if not contracted before a duty qualified priest (or the bishop of the diocese) and at least two witnesses. The decree was issued Aug. 2, 1907, and took effect on Easter Apr. 19, 1908. The decree by its terms does not affect mixed marriages (those between Roman Catholics and persons of another faith) in Germany.

The most heated sectarian phase in New South Wales was the controversy over the decree of Ne Temere between 1922 and 1925.
These were: THE state's constitutional ban on divorce THE fact that it was a crime to import contraceptives THE situation where the great majority of schools were de facto Catholic and the widespread view that separate religious education in the North was perpetuating dangerous community divisions, and THE ne temere decree and mixed marriage situation that had resulted in a 25 per cent per generation or one per cent per annum drop in the number of Protestants.
At the time Sheila incurred the wrath of the local clergy when she refused to honour the infamous Ne Temere pledge to raise her children as Roman Catholics and attend the local Catholic school.
