RCIA talk on Marriage

It's only 13 pages.


References
The Bible, obviously
Catechism, obviously
Dan McLaughlin's essay in The Federalist
CWR piece on sexual morality in ancient world.

More inspiration than reference
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks in First Things
(video of Rabbi Sacks's article in First Things) 
Bishop Robert Morlino

I looked in vain in Lapide and other online sources for a good description of Jesus' statement that Moses permitted divorce due to the hardness of the Israelite's hearts.  I need to keep working on that. It seems like our hearts are pretty hardened these days and it seems like a natural response that if the ancient Jews put up enough of a fuss to force Moses to accept marriage, that it can happen today.

I need to research that more.
