Defending Marriage E-mail Group

Our mission is to reduce unilateral no-fault divorce and support those who are unjustly abandoned.

The primary purpose of this group is to discover and initiate strategies which will protect families from the onslaught of no-fault divorce. In some instances, sharing news or details of our personal situation may be relevant to help us collectively discover what can be done to help stop forced no-fault divorce; for example, uphold marriage with canon law petitions, raise constitutional challenges, get publicity, or contact legislators and pastors.

My religion has Sacred Scripture, Catholic Sacred Tradition, dogma, and a code of canon law which all forbid no-fault divorce, and I know other faiths have ecclesiastical courts, so religion will be discussed on this group. However, no arguments about faith differences are welcome. We shall be united.

Post messages that relate to no-fault divorce. How churches deal with separation, divorce, and defend the validity of marriage in annulment case, is relevant to no-fault divorce.  If you want to comment about a posting, and your reaction also deals with no-fault divorce, then post your comment to the whole group. If your comment doesn’t deal with no-fault divorce, please send the message privately to those concerned.

Memes are not welcome.

Unsubstantiated critiques of public personalities are not welcome. If you find that an author/speaker’s statements undermine marriage, I ask that you 1) provide the exact quote and source for person’s statements, 2) give your step-by-step analysis (supported by reason or other reputable authors), and 3) offer ideas on how we could use your analysis to serve our mission.

I, as moderator of this group, shall, upon request, lock a topic (message thread) that has become merry-go-round. By merry-go-round I mean that one person is attributing to a second person meanings that are not written by the second person, and, instead, the one person is repeatedly arguing against his own belief about the second person’s meaning.

When you join the group you can choose to receive each message as it is sent (Individual), receive all messages consolidated in one e-mail per day (Digest), or only view messages from the group’s portal (No Email).
