To ensure engaged couples are entering into a fully Catholic marriage and remain committed to their vows for life, they must be prepared properly beforehand and supported afterward, Pope Francis said.
Addressing members of the Roman Rota, a tribunal handling mostly marriage cases, the Pope said the Church cannot ignore that there is a "widespread mentality" that is convinced eternal truths do not exist and, therefore, that many young people approaching the Church for marriage do not understand what the sacrament is and that it is for life.
