Deep dives
The importance of focusing on sacramental marriages in the church
Sacramental marriages in the church have seen a significant decline of 75% in the last 50 years. This decline is a critical issue that needs to be addressed as Sister Lucia of Fatima prophesied that the final battle between Christ and Satan would be over marriage and the family. It is important to recognize this decline and take action to reverse the trend. One example of successful intervention is a program implemented in Jacksonville, Florida, which resulted in a notable 24% decrease in divorce rates in the city after four years of use. These statistics highlight the urgency of understanding the reasons behind the decline of Catholicism in America and developing strategies to reverse this course.
