4 years after the Obergfell decision and 51 years after Humanae Vitae,

the majority of Catholics are ill-equipped to defend marriage in the public square, because the MAJORITY of Catholics do not understand the authentic meaning of marriage!  As reported by the Roper Center, about 80% of Catholics approve of cohabitation, 76% favor a change in the prohibition of contraceptive use, and only about 19% find divorce to be a moral issue.  According to the Pew Research Center, 61% of Catholics support same sex marriage.  They are failing to appreciate that it is the Church's responsibility to communicate God's loving plan for marriage....
