ST. PETER PRO-LIFE SPEAKER SERIES<br />
―IS ANYTHING SACRED ANYMORE?‖<br />
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE<br />
CATHOLIC VIEW OF MARRIAGE IN A<br />
WORLD OF MYTHS AND CONTRADICTIONS<br />
BY FR. KEVIN SCHROEDER<br />
JOIN FR. SCHROEDER AND THE ST. PETER PRO-LIFE GROUP FOR A DISCUSSION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH’S<br />
TEACHING ON THE SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE. WE WILL GET TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER BY FIRST DETERMINING<br />
HOW SCRIPTURE AND THE CATECHISM DEFINE MARRIAGE, AND HOW THIS DEFINITION IS OFTEN AT ODDS WITH<br />
SOCIETY’S VIEW OF MARRIAGE. WE WILL THEN DISCUSS WHY A CHRISTIAN VIEW OF MARRIAGE IS IMPORTANT TO A<br />
HEALTHY SOCIETY, AND WHY WE NEED TO DEFEND MARRIAGE FROM THE MANY WAYS THAT IT IS ATTACKED OR<br />
CHEAPENED.<br />
FINALLY, WE WILL TACKLE SOME OF THE TOUGH QUESTIONS THAT CATHOLICS NEED TO ADDRESS:<br />
WHY IS CONTRACEPTION SO HURTFUL TO MARRIAGE?<br />
WHY ARE SO MANY MARRIAGES FAILING?<br />
AREN’T ANNULMENTS SIMPLY A CATHOLIC VERSION OF DIVORCE?<br />
WHY IS COHABITATION HURTING MARRIAGE?<br />
WHO DEFINES MARRIAGE?<br />
WHAT CAN I DO TO STRENGTHEN MY MARRIAGE AND SUPPORT THE SACRAMENT IN OUR CULTURE?<br />

programs and services for women experiencing relationship<br />
violence. If you can donate or collect cell phones for women‟s<br />
safety, we‟d be most grateful! Call us at<br />
