Marriage, Annulment, and Infertility — Catechism Answers w/ Dr. Scott Sollom (August 14, 2023)

Have questions about the Catechism? We have answers!

💬 Today, Dr. Sollom will be answering the following questions:

1. "What happens if a couple cannot consummate their marriage because of a disability, health issues, old age, etc? Is their marriage valid?"
2. "If you struggle with infertility and can't get pregnant, are you supposed to stop having sex with your husband?"
3. "Along the lines of consummation, why does the Holy Family seem to be an exception AND are supposed to be an example to other married couples? How is their marriage valid?"
4. "Are children of an annulled marriage valid?"
5. "Do you have any advice for divorced Catholics who are feeling remorse and sadness about their failed marriages? How can we move forward when we feel like it’s too late to make things right? What are we supposed to do now that we have more clarity about marriage but didn’t have that clarity in our younger years?"
