American bishops survey U.S. Catholics' views on marriage

"Although nearly three-quarters of American Catholics say they are somewhat or very familiar with church teachings on marriage, many mistakenly believe that a non-Catholic spouse must promise to raise the couple's children as Catholic and that church teaching accepts divorce in cases of marital infidelity.

... Archbishop [Kurtz of Louisville] also expressed concern that 41 percent of younger Catholics were choosing to marry outside the church and that "more than half of unmarried young Catholic adults do not consider it important to be married in the church." - CNS

Clearly, there's much work to be done. Luckily, my father has already done some of the heavy lifting.
