What is a Marriage Catechumenate?

When the Vatican published the Catechumenal Pathways for Married Life document last year, it raised a lot of questions about what marriage preparation should look like: Why is the Church asking for longer preparation? What do all the proposed phases and stages mean? In today’s episode, we talk about what the Marriage Catechumenate is, and why it matters for both engaged and married couples.
