Reducing divorce and supporting the abandoned
Jun 30, 2025•50 min
Episode description
Bai Macfarlane joins Doug to discuss Mary's Advocates, where she works to reduce unilateral no-fault divorce and support those who have been unjustly abandoned. They unpack the history of no-fault divorce in the United States, Church teaching on divorce, and the challenge of annulments.
Listener questions and comments:
- Joe - How do I get the Church to intervene with separation in my situation. (41:21)
- Anthony - I'm very happy to hear about help for the abandoned spouse and I feel I'm in that category. We are civilly divorced with no annulment. (46:05)
