It’s one thing to agree that simple steps can strengthen one’s marriage. It’s another to practice them.
The incredible story of Félix and Élisabeth Leseur is a great testament to the power of sacrificial love and Divine Providence.
‘After the fall, marriage helps to overcome self-absorption, egoism, pursuit of one’s own pleasure, and to open oneself to the other, to mutual aid and to self-giving.’ (Catechism 1609)
COMMENTARY: The Judeo-Christian understanding of marriage is the best public policy possible in this fallen world.
Confusion of language is confusion of thought. We cannot take two different things and call them both ‘marriage.’
DIFFICULT MORAL QUESTIONS: The distance between Baptists and Catholics is much closer than the distance between believers and nonbelievers.

COMMENTARY: As our faith teaches, we need to bring our beliefs to bear on the public square.
