Is the Church quietly undermining the permanence of marriage by making annulments too easy? Conor sits down with author John Clark to examine the Church’s modern “annulment culture,” asking whether marriage is truly being treated as the sacrament it is. They discuss the rise of annulments, changes to the Church’s tribunal process, the suffering of abandoned spouses, and the historical defense of marriage from Catherine of Aragon to Humanae Vitae. Tune in for an impassioned defense of the permanence of marriage—and a challenge to the Church to recover the sacramental vision of marriage that has been lost in the modern annulment culture.
