Attending a non-Catholic wedding

The Church doesn’t actually have a definitive teaching regarding what weddings that we can attend as Catholics. Strictly speaking, there is no law against attending an invalid wedding, but the fact that something isn’t illegal doesn’t mean that it is morally permissible. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains.

Then hear Bishop William Byrne of Springfield, Massachusetts, as he shares his wisdom on real love modeled after Jesus, the kind that seeks nothing for itself and always points us towards God.
