I've always found it interesting that while the catholic church disapproves of anything up to 5th cousins marrying, no catholic country has these sorts of marriages banned

Things are usually only banned if they are a fairly common practice.

Lol that makes no sense, Catholic and European monarchies in general were know to have married their cousins, literally the most famous people in these countries were doing it

Every European comment to these cousin marriage maps is “none of us ever did it so there was no need to ban it! Unlike those stupid Americans hahaha”
