You’re dodging now.

The whole article is about cohabitation and it, and other sources both you and I have sourced, correctly quoted Francis as stating:

“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.”

I’m sorry you continue to ignore that.

Ok, you be sorry;
The whole article is entitled "Updated: Most marriages today are invalid, Pope Francis suggests." I actually posted much more of it than the original poster, precisely to point out the fake propaganda aspect of the original post. So when I read "Pope Francis said Thursday that many sacramental marriages today are not valid, because couples do not enter into them with a proper understanding of permanence and commitment." that does not tend to support your assertion that the whole article is about cohabitation ...
