...most marrying and divorcing nation in Western Christendom? Last week this phenomenon absorbed some 1,000 delegates from six countries at the National Catholic Family Life Convention in Buffalo. The Rev. Lucius F. Cervantes, Jesuit sociologist at Denver's Regis College, blamed the American obsession with romantic love. "The American secular image of marriage and the family is schizoid in its romantic inability to face reality. Prudential consideration in the seeking of one's life partner, such as the desirability of similar backgrounds, interests and ideals, seems to these teenagers a mere censorious haggling of killjoy elders...

Cronin, 31, wife of a roofing contractor and onetime Chicago reporter, who has four children in St. Philip Neri School on Chicago's South Side.

Elected as an ardent nationalist on a reform ticket, he stuck to Lebanon's customary neutral foreign policy until...
...demonstration persuaded Peru's church hierarchy to attempt an explanation. In a nationwide broadcast, Jesuit Father Ulpiano López, an expert in canon law, declared: "The validity of marriage depends exclusively on the mutual consent and surrender of the two persons who give themselves to each other in love and trust." If consent is obtained by means of falsehoods or threats, the act of marriage is invalid. He cited the case of a man who was compelled to marry under threat of death. The church can declare a marriage null if it finds a condition invalidating...
