Preservation of marriage

Protecting and preserving the dignity and sanctity of marriage is the focus of a short film documentary by SaintMax Worldwide entitled "One Man, One Woman: Marriage and the Common Good."

Commissioned by the New Jersey Catholic Conference with funding from the national Knights of Columbus, "One Man, One Woman" is being used now as the grassroots struggle against same-sex marriage politicians, judges and other activists in California, Arizona, Florida, New York, New Jersey and elsewhere. The film features nationally-recognized social, legal and religious experts making compelling, common sense arguments against the redefinition of marriage.

Marriage: Unique for a Reason

Marriage: Unique for a Reason, an initiative of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops offers resources to assist with the education and catechesis of Catholics on why marriage is unique and why it should be promoted and protected as the union of one man and one woman. Each of the videos in this initiative, with its companion viewer’s guide and resource booklet, is intended as a catechetical and educational aid to be used as a resource by a priest, deacon, catechist or teacher. The videos provide a creative and artistic introductory step of catechesis. The video, viewer’s guide and resource booklet form an integrated whole and, as such, complete the proper context of the materials.
