As I wrote for Crisis in October 2021, the divisions within the Church—traditional Catholic, conservative Catholic, liberal Catholic, etc.—are another obstacle to marriage, particularly for devout Catholics. This is perhaps one of the most important yet least well-known phenomena in the Church today: parents, teachers, and mentors of young people present important information about marriage and sexuality, but forget to present a road-map for how to get to marriage in the first place—or, at times, actively discourage the steps that young adults need to take to achieve marriage.
