Children have right to grow up in a united family
To protect children and denounce the abuses committed against them was Benedict XVI’s exhortation in his speech to participants in the plenary assembly of the Pontifical Council for the Family on February 8th.
The Pope praised the council’s projects dedicated to the education of engaged couples. “The family founded on marriage between a man and a woman,” the Holy Father said, “is the greatest help that can be given to children […]. A troubled family environment, the division of the parents and, in particular, separation through divorce are not without consequences for children.” “Supporting the family and promoting its true good, its rights, its unity and stability,” the Pope concluded, “is the best way to protect the rights and the real needs of children.” |
