Divorce: What the Catholic Church Really Teaches

Rose Sweet • 4/28/2021

Does the Catholic Church ever allow for divorce? Next, with Rose Sweet.

Questions Covered:

19:15 - I am in my third marriage. I never have had any concept of a sacramental marriage. I always thought if things didn’t work out, you got a divorce. How can we do better in educating people who are getting married for the first time so they can have a lifelong marriage?
28:56 - What makes a marriage valid?
42:38 - Can a Catholic parent attend the second marriage of their child, outside of the Catholic Church?
46:40 - You mentioned that the Church tolerates divorce, but I disagree. The Catholic Church only recognizes annulment or separation.
