Marriage and Family
Pope Francis traveled to South Korea for the Sixth Asian Youth Day (August 13-18, 2014). There, he spoke to young people about marriage and family life as a call from God:
"I can only stress the importance of the witness given by Christian families. At a time of great crisis for family life – as we are all aware – our Christian communities are called to support married couples and families in fulfilling their proper mission in the life of the Church and society. The family remains the basic unit of society and the first school in which children learn the human, spiritual and moral values which enable them to be a beacon of goodness, integrity and justice in our communities.”
— Pope Francis, Meeting with the Leaders of the Apostolate of the Laity, 16 August 2014
