Matthew 19.2 The Sacrament of Marriage

<p>Is marriage a sacrament? What does the Church say about this? What is a decree of nullity? We turn to &quot;Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma&quot; by Ludwig Ott to answer first what is marriage. Who has authority over the sacrament. Why does Jesus go &quot;beyond the Jordan?&quot; It is there the Pharisees put him to the test about marriage. Jesus&#39; answer elevates marriage to a sacrament and we see the Church&#39;s teaching on this considering the canon of the Dogmatic Council of Trent. </p>
