HOW POPE FRANCIS SAYS THAT MOST MARRIAGES ARE INVALID (2071 hits)
Pope Francis said Thursday that the majority of today's marriages are invalid because most couples don't understand that marriage is meant to be permanent.
"We live in a culture of the provisional," Francis said in response to a question from an audience member about the "crisis of marriage" after his address opening a pastoral conference of the Diocese of Rome.
Audio of the pope's remarks at St. John Lateran Basilica was posted late Thursday by Vatican Radio.
