Yes: different times.
These marriage patterns changed sometime long before 1500, maybe circa 1000AD -- so if the church had a hand in it, it's the medieval church.
The places where this pattern was strongest went on to invent Protestant religion, and have now largely moved on from formal church. While the places the present-day Catholic church is strongest are outside this zone... or weren't christian at all in at the relevant time (like Spain, and Mexico).
