The Five Pillars Workbook

A self-guided formation tool covering the five Canon Law requirements for valid matrimonial consent. The same framework used in the paid Formation Course.

Each section explains the pillar, why it matters, how it appears in tribunal cases, and provides reflection questions for individuals or couples.
