Marriage is a sacrament that Christ elevated among baptized individuals during the matrimonial alliance between a man and a woman. The priest calls upon God’s blessing on the spouses and their home. It is celebrated publicly and requires the mutual consent of the spouses. The consent is a freely made and unique commitment. The Roman Catholic Church does not accept the dissolution of a couple and considers the union to last until the death of the spouses.
The Gallican Catholic Church, on the other hand, accepts remarriage for divorced individuals. It is enough for the individuals to make a request. By acting in this way, the Gallican Catholic Church does not depart from the precepts of God's word, as anyone wishing to enter into communion with God has the right to do so.
Marriage solidifies the love between two beings. Love that extends through the arrival of one or more children.
"Marriage and conjugal love are precious goods, a gift that God grants to men, a place where love grows and where the family is formed. In marriage, the man and the woman offer each other mutual support, in respect and dignity of the human person, through respect for the fundamental goods of marriage."
"Humanae Vitae" (1968), Saint Paul VI
