Pope Francis said Thursday that “the great majority” of Catholic marriages are religiously null because people don’t understand the concept of a lifetime commitment. [...]
Francis, who in his three-plus years as pope has regularly made news with his off-the-cuff remarks, cited a case he’d heard of a young man who wanted to become a priest — but just for 10 years. The culture is too provisional, Francis said.
“It’s provisional, and because of this the great majority of our sacramental marriages are null. Because they say ‘yes, for the rest of my life!’ but they don’t know what they are saying. Because they have a different culture. They say it, they have good will, but they don’t know,” he reportedly said.
