Why resolutions fail

Taking small steps

Break 1

Church can't 'relativize' teaching on marriage

Break 2

How do I come back to the Church?

Doug shares why New Year’s resolutions generally don’t make it into February. He also discusses Pope Leo’s comments to the Apostolic Tribunal of the Roman Rota regarding declarations of nullity.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Janet - My husband left me after a 40-year marriage and he wanted out. He tore the family up after we had 9 kids. I think there are far too many annulments granted and they are too loose. (29:31)
Aaron - I want to come back to the Church but I have had a divorce. Do I need an annulment. (38:45)
Michael - Is there a website for standers? I need some resources. (42:43)
