Marriage Issues: Weddings; Divorce; Annulment; Remarriage


As the author of “101 Quick Questions with Catholic Answers: Marriage, Divorce, and Annulment”, Jim gets to the heart of this widely misunderstood area of Church teaching.  During this talk we will consider these simple questions that even most Catholics can’t answer:

•         Can Catholics marry non-Catholics?
•         Does the Church allow divorce?
•         Can divorced Catholics receive communion?
•         Can they remarry?
•         Aren't annulments just Catholic divorces?
•         Can I attend a wedding outside the Church?
•         Why so many rules about marriage?
•         And more!
