Our Mission

Uphold marriage against unilateral no-fault divorce

Support those who remain faithful to their marriage and those who have been unjustly abandoned

For Catholics who enter marriage expecting permanence, no-fault divorce is a cruel surprise.

If you are facing an unwanted separation or divorce, find a listening ear and others carrying the same weight.

Learn about options for requesting Church support for your marriage based on the Catholic Code of Canon Law. We assist both respondents in annulment cases who are defending the validity of their marriage, as well as abandoned spouses seeking pastoral care and governance. Additionally, we offer a sample arbitration agreement for engaged couples who wish to distinguish their Catholic marriage from a civil marriage.

DDF Dodging Responsibility to Uphold Doctrine of the Faith

The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith seems to be dodging their responsibility to uphold the doctrine of the faith.  Of issue is whether this evidently controversial statement is correct or contrary to canon law and undermining faith and morals: Prior to a Catholic petitioning a USA civil court for divorce or separation, the […]

Exorcist priest, Fr. Chad Ripperger identifies the area where demons are making the biggest headway; “The place that they're making the biggest headway is—I should say ... where the demons used to not attack and now they're doing a full-blown attack—is on good families.”

Demons Attacking Good Families

Exorcist priest, Fr. Chad Ripperger identifies the area where demons are making the biggest headway; “The place that they’re making the biggest headway is—I should say … where the demons used to not attack and now they’re doing a full-blown attack—is on good families.”

I have a complaint against the Canon Law Society of America, and I asked the competent bishop for a judgement (i.e., Cardinal McElroy in Washington, D.C.). He has decided to issue no judgment, and I question whether his reasons for refusal are well-founded, so we are making hierarchical recourse.   My guess is that this complaint is going to end up getting passed around, like a hot potato

Passing the Hot-Potato

Mary’s Advocates is raising $5,000 to hire a canon lawyer for a husband whose annulment case is on appeal in Rome. We will call him Tim.

A midwestern Archdiocese decided his marriage was invalid because he and his wife supposedly suffered from a “grave lack of discretion of judgment” (cf. Fr. David Nix c. 1095, 2°).  He appealed to the Roman Rota
