Catholics do not allow divorce. - In some circumstances, marriages can be annulled (declared invalid) if at the time of the marriage one party did not enter into the commitment freely, or for some reason was not mature enough or in a state to make such a commitment. ### Celibacy ![Celibacy](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2025-08/e977ba26-a463-4d15-9414-aa4586d285df/20c0284e-19ca-4e55-9673-a8caa87b762a.png) - Catholics believe that some people are called by God to live celibate lives (abstaining from marriage and sexual relations), sometimes as priests or as monks or nuns. ### Other denominations ![Other denominations](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-04/2a7e997d-f7a8-46ca-9c91-b166b34330ea/shutterstock_133378736.jpg) - Marriage ceremonies form part of the practice of many other Christian denominations, but most of them do not consider marriage to be a sacrament. ## Test yourself on Marriage - What do we call a Mass that involves a marriage ceremony? - What is the main part of the Catholic marriage sacrament? - What does it mean to live a celibate life? - How do most other Christian denominations view marriage? - For what reasons could a Catholic marriage be annulled?
