• Doctors Without Borders Teams up with Do-it-Yourself Abortion Group (C-Fam, 2/28/20)

• Marriage: Unique for a Reason (USCCB, 2/27/20)

• “'The Church law requires very little for a valid marriage. People playing all these head games about why their marriages are invalid don’t understand the Church’s teachings'....
  
  "from the beginning, marriage has always been the center of a great battle. No one should blithely expect that he’s in a special class that is somehow spiritually protected.
  
  "A marriage was Satan’s first target in the Garden of Eden, and it was one of his preferred fields of battle through the Old Testament. The British schism in the Protestant Reformation began when a committed Catholic, Henry VIII, wanted to divorce his wife. And today, the battle over marriage rages on” (Crisis Magazine, 2/27/20)
