Synod Fathers Call For Ending “Pre-Cana” in Favor of More Intensive Marriage Preparation | Aleteia.org

While I don't doubt that this may be a good idea, it's going to be a really tough job for parish priests to sell it to engaged couples. I would be surprised if it didn't result in a great number of them choosing to forgo a Catholic marriage ceremony in favour of something 'easier'. Not so sure that this is what the Synod fathers are intending. 



Any thoughts on the subject?

    I've got a recently engaged son, getting married next summer in the Church. He works in Windsor, she lives in Parry Sound. They will be lucky to even be together, in the same town, for a regular marriage course. People are very mobile today. You have to meet young people where they are at.The intensive marriage course idea is not a good idea. We need to be putting more importance on the sacrament and the sacramental nature of marriage MUCH earlier, and with a bigger voice. Don't break down marriage, instead, build it up!

All good things must come to an end

Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p. Diocese of Pembroke
