    34:31 - This is powerful... "41% of all first marriages fail. 50% of all marriages fail. 60% of all second marriages, and 73% of all third marriages fail. When you come to that habit, marriage becomes cheap." My thought bubble, "The culture of romance addiction is (partly)to blame... always looking for that high, looking to be admired, or to admire instead of truly relating. A lot of healing needed for those in that kind of isolation." Thank you for this discussion.

      This is wonderful. I've been going at people who complain about the necessity for annulments in the Church. If people saw marriage as a sacrament, a holy gift to be received with reverence, humility, and love, and not a wedding maybe they would trust God to help them find a husband and not a "partner". Most people are, like you said, making life altering decisions on a romance high

      No, the priest refused to marry two people who did not meet the requirements necessary for a sacramental marriage. In order for a crime to be prosecuted, elements of that crime must be met.

    My college roommate was divorced when her husband left her. She was fully committed to the marriage and did everything she could to save it. After her civil divorce, her confessor advised her to start the annulment proceedings immediately. She hesitated, as she was still in pain, raising 4 children, and believed in the validity if her Catholic marriage. The priest was practical and consoled that she would eventually meet someone and want to remarry, but would not be free to do so, without the annulment. He had seen this happen to too many good people before, that just ended up living together when they were unable to immediately marry in the Church. He also shared that the annulment processes included a great deal of prayer and discernment ( not just the formal litigation of validity if the marriage) which although painful would be healing. She followed his advice and received the annulment. After the children were raised, she is now in a second marriage, which she was able to enter into joyfully and without any hesitation.

      in the 1940's my dad tried to get an annulment before he married my mom. Of course he could not get one, and he had very good grounds. Needless to say, he didn't get one, so my parents were never married in the Church. They raised us 4 kids Catholic and sent us to Catholic schools. Looking back, I wish they had taken the hint and left the Church. This is one of the big reasons many leave the Church.

    Your show has brought me closer to God. I am separated. It took five years to decide to separate and I talked with several Augustine priests at the church where I was married to ask for council. Without any prompting from me, they all said that due to my husband's contempt towards me that lasted five years, that I SHOULD separate and/or divorce as it destroyed my sense of self and was affecting our children. However, during several confessions with Jesuit priests and a Legionnaire of Christ priest, they either condemned my choice or supported it. I have been left so confused and it has taken me years with the grace of the Lord and Our Holy Mother just to feel good about myself again. Funnily enough, my husband and I cohabitate in order for the children to have both of their parents (we live in a large home where he has the bottom floor, like a mini-apartment and I have the top floor and we share the communal areas) but I have fallen in love with someone else. I don't plan to marry and we are growing closer to the church together but I understand there are rules. The laws of marriage are so confusing because when your spouse neglects you on emotional, sexual and mental levels, then who is the one to break the vows? I am so confused.

      Abuse isn't technically grounds for divorce, though.
      The grounds arising from abuse would be more along the lines of the person not being whom they represented themselves to be before the marriage. To my knowledge if one person is abusive before the marriage then they would be exactly whom they represented themselves to be and it wouldn't necessarily be nullified. At least, not on the grounds of the abuse.

      People need to know this before starting to "date." We don't seek companions for recreation. We seek them for procreation if we are young enough and in all cases for mutual SALVATION. We should be joining together to grow in virtue.
      The failure rate is so high in America because of the idea of dating to fall in love and then hopefully get married. NO, have the hard discussion before you let romantic feelings blur your vision. Keep touching to a minimum and no prolonged embraces or kisses. This is the path that leads to destruction. We are too permissive in the US. I deeply regret the leniency I was told was ok, and that was limited to embracing and kissing but all too passionately, and that dating was an exploration with multiple people, either at the same time or serially. If you like each other and you're on the same page in terms of values and life goals, get betrothed, which means setting a date, get into Marriage prep classes and go to the altar. Do not postpone the sacrament to get the right venue, gown and other frou-frou. It's absurd to wait 8 months for a dress.

    My father is a retired attorney, who practiced circa 1950-2010. Our Bishop used to bring civil divorce cases to him. My father was traditional and did not handle divorce cases as typical part of his practice. He was very involved in our local diocese, and without divulging any details , said that the Bishop was wise in these particular circumstances to recommend a civil divorce for those couples. Now many decades later, I can only speculate that there may have been physical or alcohol/drug abuse in the home, and children present for this modeling....especially since this began in the 1950s prior to the surge of common divorces in the US

    Spicy topic folks. Thanks for being a voice of clarity in a sea of confusion. However, claiming we're on a good trajectory with Francis on this issue is a bold claim. If I'm divorced and remarried I'm openly living in mortal sin and likely doing so unrepentantly. Clearly all these "divorced" (impossible) and "remarried" (impossible since if the original marriage was annulled there is no "remarried" that's possible) Catholics got married under the pretence that the marriage was legitimate after they went through prep. If a couple went through marriage prep and the priest is unable to discern that the couple should get married we have a failure among the clergy (people and circumstances change ... fair enough ... no one disputes legitimate examples).
    Offering communion to those in a state of mortal sin is concerning because there's no real mechanism in the Church to absolve someone of this issue through the sacrament of confession since there's likely no intention to terminate the second marriage and return to their legitimate spouse and cease adultery. I get that there's legitimate reasons why annulments are necessary and no one disputes that ... but these seems like rare cases. Annulment can be stretched to fit any case but it seems we agree this is totally inappropriate despite being a "pastoral point". Annulments are a farcical process in practise (not in theory) since something like over 95% of annulments are approved. Here's my 2 cents ... those generations that where not getting divorced ... they were not provided with abundant "pastoral care" ... rather ... they had a developed sense of the sacramental union. We're lacking clarity and bold catechism... not "care". We live in an era of abundant care and ignorance.

      Divorce is such a TOUGH topic People aren't created to be alone, and when the closeness of a marriage ends, many end up in "adulterous " relationships because of the deep loneliness. It is a real pastoral issue to pastor people not to live in mortal sin, but to equally guide with deep compassion and wisdom. Honestly, I often think that we, the laity, are often more close to the front edge of our friends and family, in helping to cut off disasters before they occur. We often have "hints" and are in better position to love and guide (before or after marriage).

However, comiting acts of adultury as a means of eliminting temporal suffering is not a Catholic solution. We have no pastoral care that JUSTIFIES adultary. We want to protect and heal everyone including those who have commited acts of adultary but the solution is ALWAYS to repent and cease living in sin. We do not condone adultary or any sin for that matter on the basis of care. The goal is always the elimination of sin. Granted, some people need to be weened off (this is the place of pastoral care) but ultimatly adultary is totally unacceplable and required repentance. We're called to be saints. "forced her into adultery" this is simply untrue and deeply defeatist. "People aren't created to be alone" monks manage and so do countless saints, you're discounting the value of chastity.

I think we both know that all humans were not created with the same gifts and charisms. I believe that the insight contained in the paraphrased quote..." forced into adultery ". is an acknowledgment that man was not created to be alone. That deep human drve in the human heart calls out for proper pastoral guidance. It's not defeatist to recognize and wish to address this. But I think we were actually agreeing on that. I also think that family and friends, are often closer to situations, can anticipate what may be coming down the pike, and try to help before the stress of difficult situation leads to poor life choices. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. I do not think we're saying anything different in terms of church teaching. But only perhaps a different approach in how we witness the truths in the Catholic church.

In my situation I was going to a protestant church due to my "husband's" beliefs and the women I went to for help told me it was my fault because I wasn't submissive enough although I was extremely submissive, and this is my friend's current situation. I really want her to see that there are good reasons to consider why she may be free to not only get herself and her children to safety, but also hope for God to send her a true husband someday, as I hope he does for me.

    As a recently-degreed canon lawyer, I really appreciate this episode. Encouraging people to seek a declaration of nullity and getting the word out there that this can be a helpful and healing process is something the Church needs nowadays. It's part of helping the marriage situation as a whole, in my mind.
    One thing I'd just like to add to the discussion is a clarifying comment about the Pauline and Petrine privileges. Before I was a student, these did not make much sense to me. What was the rationale? How could the Church say that marriage is indissoluble yet dissolve a valid, consummated marriage? Well, it clicked and made sense when in class we made one important distinction. There is a difference between *extrinsic* and *intrinsic* indissolubility. Intrinsic/relative indissolubility means that neither the parties nor any other human power can dissolve the marriage. Since it is not the minister who marries the spouses but rather the spouses who marry each other (as y'all mentioned), it is the spouses alone who could even in theory dissolve the marriage; but since marriage is the relationship where the parties who contract it say "I won't ever dissolve this," they've renounced even their ability to dissolve it. Hence, no human power can dissolve an intrinsically indissoluble marriage. But God can, if he so chooses. So an intrinsically indissoluble marriage is dissolvable by God alone. Extrinsic/absolute indissolubility also means that no human power can dissolve the marriage, but that God also will not dissolve it, and indeed will give it the necessary graces to endure.
    And it's this added layer of extrinsic indissolubility that makes a sacramental marriage properly sacramental. The Church teaches that only sacramental marriage is a sign of Christ and the Church - non-sacramental marriage (natural marriage) is not. Why? Because although natural marriages are intrinsically indissoluble, it is extrinsically DISsoluble. Since the marriage between Christ and the Church is extrinsically INdissoluble, it takes another extrinsically indissoluble relationship to be able to signify it in the first place. Hence, the Catechism says (as was read in the podcast) that Christ "raised marriage among the baptized to the level of a sacrament." Using our new terms, this basically means he makes what is ordinarily only intrinsically indissoluble to be extrinsically indissoluble too. It's a completely new kind of bond, one that can now image and signify the extrinsically indssoluble relationship between Christ and the Church.
    And so, for the Pauline and Petrine privileges, this is the Church recognizing that Christ gave her His power to dissolve valid, natural marriages. The power to bind and loose. However, it would be against prudence for the Church to just dissolve valid natural bonds without good reason. Historically, stipulations have been given that one must meet, in order for the Church to be okay with dissolving it. Thus, Paul says it can be permitted when one converts and the spouse leaves on account of the person's newfound faith. Then over time, new situations arose in which the Church basically said, "sure, we'll dissolve that too. That's a good reason that we haven't thought of before." All these other "newer" reasons are lumped together and named the so-called Petrine Privilege, which is more accurately called a dissolution "in favor of the faith."
    So, there ya go! Hope that clarifies things. Keep up the good work, y'all are reaching lots of souls.

      @@johnnotrealname8168 What I mean is that for most Catholics who get divorced, seeking a declaration of nullity isn't even on their radar. They just get "re"-married and put themselves in a state of concubinage and sin. Encouraging people to seek declarations of nullity, whether or not the nullity of their marriage is actually proven, should absolutely be done more often in order to avoid the above situation. We both no doubt agree that if a Catholic gets divorced civilly, they should seek a declaration of nullity especially if they think they want to pursue a relationship with someone else in the future.

      @Frances Your pessimism can lead you in two directions: 1) Tribunals are frivolously "handing out annulments" when they shouldn't be, or 2) marriage is so broken nowadays that in all matter of fact, most marriages that Tribunals get are actually invalid. I tend to think the truth is a combination of both, to the exclusion of neither. It's a both/and, not an either/or.
      I do also think it's unfair of you to lump all "American Tribunals" under one banner. I know for a fact there are some who are aware of the problem and are consciously trying to avoid it, myself being one of them. And that is what I was taught in school, so hopefully you can find some comfort in that.

    1) Do you think that not being open to children is a valid reason for an annulment? 2) a wife has a long-time male friend at the time of marriage. She does not tell her husband that she had an intimate relationship with that friend before marrying her husband but husband knew she and he were friends. She remains friends with the former secret lover and eventually decides to end her marriage to be with him. But, after 2 years of her adultery, the extramarital relationship ends. The marriage has understandably fallen apart. Valid grounds for annulment?

    1. Did all that marriage prep class run by the Catholic.
    2. I knew marriage was forever. Look like to me he(my x) thought that too.
    10 years later, I discovered he started to have an affair with another woman. He left to be with her. So why doesn't the catholic church accept adultery as a reason for annulment? Why is the committed partner who was betrayed by the husband or wife, be a sinner for having to move on? No choice of their own. Annulment is expensive and may not be given. I believe our God can not be that mean to label all divorcees as sinners. Due to no fault of your own. God was a witness to every lie, deceitful act, and betrayal my x husband acted towards me and our marriage. I don't think God would frown on me having to move on for something out of my control, God wouldn't want me to suffer a lonely life due to another man's sin and God was witness to my truth, not some tribunal run by human beings to send me free to remarry. I feel God has blessed me with a second chance at a 2nd marriage. It's not even right to call my second husband a sinner because I don't have an annulment, only a civil divorce. He never caused the break-up.
    Ryan is a divorcee. But he did not sin because he never married his first wife in the catholic church. God would see marriage in all religions, and civil in the world as sacred. I think God would have been upset with Ryan's divorce too. Ryan married in a baptist church first marriage, so I guess the Catholic church is saying non-Catholics OR Catholics who marry in other churches or civil are not real marriages so God doesn't recognise it. So they are not a sinner. Only a Catholic church marriage is recognised by God.(Looks like most of the world are in fake marriages and sinners).So if you, unfortunately, unfortunately married in a catholic church and ended up in divorce for being cheated on we will give no communion, and label you a sinner too.
    This could be a big reason why the catholic church has lost many good past members of the catholic church. Because the church make catholic divorcees feel bad and unwelcomed by the church even when no fault of their own.

    I have commented a few times on this video. I am going through the annulment process for a convalid marriage.
    80% of divorces are initiated by women. We can discuss ideals all day long; but at the end of the day women are the weak link in the marriage.
    Thinking emotionally and needing constant validation with most couples themselves products of divorce, feminism and sexual liberty are a part of the sin that destroy marriages.
    Most men will never marry nor even get a second look from women. They are "too nice".
    I must admit, after divorce and getting served divorce papers for "irreconcilable differences " I dove into scripture and Redhill content.
    The societal confines of expected behavior along with easy access to sex for most women (90% or greater are not virgins at marriage) as well as the idealism promoted by our Church, most women are leading secret lives before vows are taken.
    For devout Catholic men it is very hard to find a single 20 something to be virtuous and chaste.
    To most women competing for top earners with establish led lives and income, women learn to get what they want through sex.
    I am glad this is being discussed, but these guys are using ideals as opposed to understanding women from a biological and emotional stance.
    Much if my understanding is validated through experience and reading Redhill content. The Church can only do so much and there are only so many women are virtuous enough to be and stay married.

But now 3 years later, what I have an issue with is the times of being alone. The one thing the divorce did was bring me back to the faith. I try never to miss communion now that I can receive it.

      The Inquisition is a method of legal proceedings developed (not created) in the Middle-Ages. The body which tries the individual is the same person who investigates the person. Continental Europe today has such a method I believe. This is opposed to the Anglo-American model in which the investigating body is different from the judicial body.

    I looked into annulment and was unhappy to read that it means the marriage never took place when annulled. How does the church deal when there are children? Are they not part of the family? Are they then bastards?

    I had to divorce my abusive alcoholic husband because he was abusive to our 5 children. He wouldn't leave and would not divorce me. I had to leave him and our home for the sake of my kids. I was hoping he would see the light but never did. He lost everything house business and family. He's still an alcoholic and rarely sees the kids or even talks to them. I remarried after 8 years to a Catholic who fell away from the church due to his divorce from his ex wife who was a gambler and abusive to his children..I wanted to get an an annulment and marry my 2nd husband in the church but he feels that all the church wants is the 500 dollars. Should I still get the annulment for my sake and hope someday he'll want to get married in church?

      @@mn22286 Question:
      Is it a sin to divorce a spouse who is physically and emotionally abusive, after many attempts at resolving the behavior in couple's therapy have failed?
      Answer:
      No, it is not a sin to divorce such a spouse. The Code of Canon Law states:
      A spouse who occasions grave danger of soul or body to the other or to the children, or otherwise makes the common life unduly difficult, provides the other spouse with a reason to leave, either by a decree of the local ordinary [e.g., bishop] or, if there is danger in delay, even on his or her own authority. (CIC 1153)
      The canon does go on to state that once such a danger has passed, common life should be restored, but given the unique difficulties of abuse cases (e.g., promises to reform are all too often broken), an abused spouse may wish to allow an independent specialist such as a priest or a psychologist to determine if and when it is safe to resume common life.
      The Church considers civil divorce in such cases to be the ecclesial equivalent of a legal separation and tolerates civil divorce sought for just cause (such as to ensure personal safety and/or the safety of children) to settle estate and child custody arrangements. The divorced person is still considered validly married and may not remarry in the Church unless and until an annulment is granted.

She wants a devoice but like the bible says about devoices. I'm not filing for a devoice she will have to do that. I, did by law I did file for a separation my wife today is living with another man. Me I live by myself. I, can forgive my wife but I don't trust her.
