Nine Bad Arguments for Catholics Attending Invalid “Weddings”
We’ve become so used to Catholic priests and influencers telling us that we may go to these invalid “weddings” that we’ve forgotten to question the premise: What is the authoritative source for that advice?
Homily on Marriage based upon the Gospel Reading Luke 12:49-53 for the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
49 “I came to cast fire upon the earth; and would that it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how I am constrained until it is accomplished! 51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division; 52 for henceforth in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three; 53 they will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against her mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”

Venerable Servant of God Fulton J. Sheen
Archbishop Sheen, best known for his popularly televised and syndicated television program, Life is Worth Living, is held today as one of Catholicism’s most widely recognized figures of the twentieth century.
The cause for his canonization was officially opened in 2002. In June 2012, Pope Benedict XVI officially recognized a decree from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints stating that he lived a life of "heroic virtues" – a major step towards beatification – and he is now referred to as "Venerable."

The family and the Sacrament of Marriage in our current culture is being de-valued and some would say clearly under attack.
A trend in many Christian families are wedding ceremonies outside the church. These ceremonies are sometimes performed by individuals who complete an ordination ceremony on the Internet and then are deemed acceptable by the state to perform a legal marriage ceremony in a particular state. If you consider yourself a practicing Catholic please read the following questions and answers to form your understanding, and what the Catholic Church teaches about the Sacrament of Marriage.
