It’s sad how Catholics can pick and choose what they want to believe and disregard the rest. :mad:
 
Catholics attach huge importance to marriage and family life with a considerable amount of time spent with children. While marriage is on the slide in Britain with half the children of British-born mothers born outside wedlock, marriage is still strongly supported by Catholics. Only 13 per cent of our 18- to 35-year-olds were living with a partner, while 49 per cent were married. Just 5 per cent of our 36- to 45-year-olds were cohabiting while 72 per cent were married. In terms of family life, the differences between people of different cultures is evident, with far more people from abroad praying at home with the family.
This gives hope. The family is the perpetuation of the faith, and if marraige hold together, the faith will persist. Other cultures whose family structure degrades will simply fade in time.
