Synopsis

Excerpt from Christian Marriage: An Analysis of and Commentary on the Marriage Encyclical

Insofar as the baptized are concerned, marriage is not only a divine institution. It is also a sacrament of the New Law. This fact, of course, in no way changes the Natural Law contract. It does, however, add some thing to it. It makes the matrimonial consent a grace conferring institution. It supernaturalizes it.

Dignity of Marriage. From its divine authorship, its restoration by Christ and especially its sacramental character, flows the great dignity of marriage. This is pointed out in the very first sentence of the encyclical.
