In this episode of
Mosaic, originally aired in June 2019, Ed Hopfner. director of the Office of Marriage and Family Life, discusses what Catholic marriage is and does.
Do we have an institution more basic and more consequential than marriage? Do we have any task more demanding, and challenging? Is there any arena of life in which greater joy and love can be found—or any arena in which we are more exposed and vulnerable? It seems crucial to understand what marriage is, how to prepare for undertaking it, and how to live it out successfully. We need knowledge, and we need grace.
Ed Hopfner discusses the Catholic Church's teaching on this most fundamental of human relationships: a sacrament, a mystery, a vocation, and a sacred obligation.
