Couldn’t have said it better ourselves…
In his address delivered yesterday morning to the Pontifical Council for the Family, Pope Benedict XVI said:
“In the preamble, the Convention [on the Rights of the Child] indicates the family as ‘the natural environment for the growth and well-being of all its members, especially children.’ Certainly, it is precisely the family, founded on marriage between a man and a woman, which is the greatest help that can be given to children. They want to be loved by a mother and a father who love one another, and they need to dwell, grow and live together with both parents, because the maternal and paternal figure are complementary in the education of children and in the construction of their personality and their identity. Hence, it is important that everything possible is done to make them grow in a united and stable family.”
