“It’s a superstition, because marriage frightens the husband. It’s a superstition we have to overcome” the Pope said. “I’ve seen a lot of fidelity in these cohabitations, and I am sure that this is a real marriage, they have the grace of a real marriage because of their fidelity, but there are local superstitions, etc.”1

What is the superstition ? It must be read in the full context of his interview to glean that. The superstition is that so many couples fear and avoid religious marriage. The problem is twofold: the rampant cohabitation in lieu of religious marriage, and the unacceptably high number of religious marriages that end in divorce.

Do you intend to make divorce illegal in every country ?
