God gave us free will to make good choices or bad choices.

People make choices as to whom they marry. There are many problems in marriage and bad choices.

I like to look at the cup is half full with many people making good choices, and not being negative about those who make bad choices.

God chooses not to force people to make good choices, and most of us have no control over what others do.

So I feel that the Catholic Church should be open and welcoming and encourage people to find God and follow the path of Jesus.

God bless.

“So I feel that the Catholic Church should be open and welcoming and encourage people to find God and follow the path of Jesus.”

The Catholic Church is welcoming, but doesn’t cheapen The Faith by accomodating heresy. As far as marriage choices, many Catholics marry Protestants; it is unusual for a Catholic with attachment to the Tridentine Rite to do so. They take their faith more seriously than the Catholic population in general, so it is unusual.
