The Cafeteria is Closed: Marriage

Back up if you are interested in the beginning of this little series go here: The Cafeteria is Closed: A Catholic Youth Group Series. You can also read about our first topic, Indulgences and Eternal Life, here.

Next Topic?  Marriage.

Marriage. Marriage is what brings us together today.

Main questions that the kids requested we explore:

• Can a Catholic marry a non-Christian?
• Can a Catholic marry a non-Catholic?
• One Man and One Woman.  Why?
• What is the Church’s teaching on divorce and remarriage?
• What does it mean that a marriage must be Free, Total, Faithful, and Fruitful?
