[CV Loop] Pope: Great majority of marriages today not valid
VATICAN // Pope Francis said that the great majority of marriages today are not valid, because couples do not enter into them with a proper understanding of permanence and commitment. Pope Francis also commented on people living together outside of marriage: “I’ve seen a lot of fidelity in these cohabitations, and I am sure that this is a real marriage, they have the grace of a real marriage because of their fidelity, but there are local superstitions, etc.” http://cvote.it/1Qa581C
