Vatican City: A world guided by self-centred logic has lost the sense of stable bonds. This makes it difficult to understand the value of the family. Civil institutions should rather work toward providing families with adequate support. Those who have learned “to live authentic relationships within the family” will also live them in other contexts in society.
Pope Francis had these points prepared for his address to the members of the Forum of Family Associations and where made public through Vatican News.
The Pope received the group in the Sala Clementina on the occasion of their twenty-fifth anniversary.
The Pope said that the problems families find in society need to be confronted “firmly and charitably”. “The sensitivity you bring to society regarding the family cannot be labelled ‘confessional’,” the Pope said. Rather it is rooted “on the dignity of the human person. Thus, it can be recognised and shared by all”.
As stated earlier, the remarks above, as reported by Vatican News refer to the comments prepared for this speech and which were released to the media. In the meantime a number of media reports in Italy covered elements which weren’t reported in the above.
TgCom quoted the Pope saying that “the family is a single one formed by a man and a woman “. He added that “today it is painful to say – said the Holy Father -: we are talking about diversified families, of different types of family Yes, it is true that the word family is analogous and there are the family of stars, that of trees, that of animals … but the family, the image of God, man and woman, is one “.
About abortion, Pope Francis was reported saying by Sky News Italia “The last century the whole world was scandalised by what the Nazis did to treat the purity of the race. Today we do the same but with white gloves, “said Bergoglio referring to the abortion of sick children. In pregnancy, the Pope added, “it is fashionable, habitual” that we see that “maybe the child is not well or comes with something the first offer is ‘we send it away?’. The murder of children. To solve a peaceful life, an innocent person is taken away”.
In addition to the Nazis, talking about the decisions to abort unhealthy children, the Pope also recalled what the Spartans did: “When I was a boy, the teacher taught us history” and talking about the “Spartans” reported that “the child with malformations brought him to mount and throw it down. And we thought, ‘But how can you do that with the children? It is an atrocity. Today we do the same. “Then he asked:” Do you know why you do not see so many dwarves on the street? Because the protocol of many doctors, not all “, makes it clear before” it is bad. “Francis reiterated that” children are the greatest gift, children who are received as they come, as God sends them “, even if” sometimes they are sick “.
