Recovering the Sacrament of Marriage w/ John Clark | Ep. 75

What is Matrimony and why should it be protected as the primordial sacrament? Today, Dr. Michael Dauphinais is joined by John Clark, author, political speech writer, and columnist for the National Catholic Register, to discuss the importance of recognizing the sacramentality of marriage. They address themes such as the primary purpose of marriage, its indissolubility, and how it was instituted. In their conversation, they also explore the insights from John Clark's book "Betrayed without a Kiss: Defending Marriage after Years of Failed Leadership in the Church," delving into the challenges facing marriage today and the need for strong leadership in its defense. ▶ Help support Ave Maria University and this podcast by joining the Annunciation Circle: https://hubs.li/Q03312J80 ▶ Learn more about Ave Maria University: https://hubs.li/Q032PhpS0 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ FIND ANSWERS ON SOCIAL: ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE:    / @avemariauniversityfl   ▶ WEBSITE: https://www.avemaria.edu ▶ INSTA:   / avemariauniv   ▶ FACEBOOK:   / avemariauniv   Ave Maria University is committed to providing a liberal arts curriculum based on Catholic principles and thought.
