A Theological Colloquium on the Sacramentality of Marriage
In October 2006 the Committee on Marriage and Family sponsored a colloquium at the University of Notre Dame entitled “Understanding and Communicating the Sacrament of Marriage in our Contemporary Culture.” The colloquium brought together five theologians and the members of the Committee to explore, by means of prepared papers and subsequent discussion, the theology of the Sacrament of Marriage and the best ways of conveying it to the faithful today. The papers examined marriage from the perspectives of the Old and New Testaments and according to patristic, systematic, and liturgical theology.
The summary of the colloquium and the papers given at it are linked below. Each paper begins with a one page synopsis, and the body of the paper follows.
