Abstract

In 2018, 393 people in eight parishes in the Diocese of Goroka, Papua New Guinea were surveyed using the questionnaire method. The conducted research took into account the impact of independent variables such as: sex, age, and place of residence and the fact of entering into a sacramental marriage. The research shows that a high percentage of respondents understand the moral requirements of sacramental marriage. They are more often understood by women, respondents over 51 years of age, living in the countryside and those who have entered into a sacramental marriage. The pastoral challenge in understanding the moral aspects of canonical marriage are men, people under the age of 31, and those spouses who have not yet entered into canonical marriage but are on their way to receive this sacrament in the Church.
