  3. More coming soon!!
  4. In the Pastoral Letter, Bishops discuss contraception, same-sex unions, divorce, and cohabitation as some of the challenges facing marriage.
  5. "Some challenges, however, are fundamental in the sense that they are directed at the very meaning and purposes of marriage."
  6. "Conditions in contemporary society do not always support marriage."
  7. Continuing to read through the USCCBs Pastoral Letter on Marriage.
  8. "If procreation is a true participation in the creative activity of God, it is a work that is inseparable from self-gift."
  9. "[P]rocreation is a participation in the ongoing creative activity of God."
  10. "The loving communion of the spouses is the primary context in which children are both conceived and brought up in love."
  11. "If someone were to view his or her spouse simply as a way of producing offspring...this would offend...the procreative meaning."
  12. "Likewise, the procreative meaning of marriage is degraded without the unitive."
  13. "Without its ordering toward the procreative, the unitive meaning of marriage is undermined."
  14. "The unitive meaning [of marriage] is distorted if the procreative meaning is deliberately disavowed."
  15. "Children, who are the fruit of love and meaningful commitment, are a cause of love and meaning."
  16. "Thus, it is no surprise that marriage is ordained not only to growing in love but to transmitting life."
  17. "It is the nature of love to overflow, to be life-giving."
  18. "The love that is as strong as death is the love that prays and praises, caught up into divine love."
  19. "God established marriage so that man and woman could participate in his love and thus selflessly give themselves to each other in love."
  20. "[I]t is only in relationship that we achieve a true wholeness as a communion of persons."
