It is honestly difficult to image a more effective way to push lukewarm Catholics away from marrying in the Church while outright antagonizing devout Catholics. It is sometimes necessary to wait more than a year to marry for various reasons, but indiscriminately forcing couples to wait so long is just obnoxious.

I will briefly imagine some alternate universe (with an appropriate numbering in the Marvel system) in which after confirmation *teenagers* are admitted to a program of formation which prepares them for courtship and marriage and which (waving my hands) is highly attractive to them and they voluntarily attend. This could be a backdrop for how different the lives of the X-Men or Avengers are in consequence since it would necessarily impact the whole of society to a greater degree than the mere existence of mutant superpowers (while being, admittedly, just as implausible).
