“Year of Faith” News
Marriage and family in the modern world
“The well-being of the individual person and of human
and Christian society is intimately linked with the healthy
condition of that community produced by marriage and
family. Hence Christians and all men who hold this
community in high esteem sincerely rejoice in the various
ways by which men today find help in fostering this
community of love and perfecting its life, and by which
spouses and parents are assisted in their lofty calling.
Those who rejoice in such aids look for additional
benefits from them and labor to bring them about. Yet
the excellence of this institution is not everywhere
reflected with equal brilliance. For polygamy, the plague
of divorce,, so-called free love, and other disfigurements
have an obscuring effect. In addition, married love is too
often profaned by excessive self-love, the worship of
pleasure, and illicit practices against human generation.
Moreover, serious disturbances are caused in families by
modern economic conditions, by influences at once
social and psychological, and by the demands of civil
society. Finally, in certain parts of the world problems
resulting from population growth are generating
concern.
All these situations have produced anxious consciences.
Yet, the power and strength of the institution of marriage
and family can also be seen in the fact that time and
again, despite the difficulties produced, the profound
changes in modern society reveal the true character of
this institution in one way or another. Therefore, by presenting certain key points of Church doctrine in a clearer
light, the Council wishes to offer guidance and support to
those Christians and other men who are trying to keep
sacred and to foster the natural dignity of the married
state and its superlative value.” (The Documents of
Vatican II, Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the
Modern World # 47)
Special Collection
We will have a special collection the weekend of January
5 & 6, 2013 for Hurricane Sandy. All monies used be
used to support the efforts of the US Conference of
Catholic Bishops and Catholic Charities USA as they
continue to respond to immediate emergency needs for
necessities as water, food, shelter and medical care and
address the pastoral and reconstruction needs of the
Church as it rebuilds after Hurricane Sandy.

Noticias del Año de la Fe
El Matrimonio y la Familia en el mundo actual
“La salvación de la persona y de la sociedad humana
y cristiana está estrechamente ligada al bienestar de
la comunidad familiar y conyugal. Por eso los
cristianos, al unísono con cuantos hacen gran aprecio
de la misma comunidad se complacen sinceramente
en la variedad de recursos con los que los hombres
van hoy progresando en el desarrollo y en el cultivo
de la vida de esta comunidad de amor y con los que
los esposos y los padres cuentan para el
cumplimiento de su excelsa misión; y esperan de ello
cada día mejores beneficios que por su parte se
afanan por procurar. Sin embargo no en todas partes
brilla con el mismo esplendor la dignidad de esta
institución, pues aparece nublada por la poligamia,
por la locura del divorcio, por el llamado amor libre y
otras deformaciones. Además el amor conyugal se ve
profanado frecuentemente por el egoísmo, el
hedonismo y las prácticas ilícitas contra la generación. Por otro lado, las actuales condiciones
económicas, sociales, sicológicas y civiles acarrean no
leves perturbaciones a la familia. Por fin, en
determinadas pates del mundo, son preocupantes los
problemas que surgen de la explosión demográfica.
Todas esas cosas arrastran consigo problemas de
conciencia. Con todo, la fuerza y eficacia de la
institución matrimonial y familiar aparece también en
el hecho de que los profundos cambios de la
sociedad moderna, no obstante las dificultades que
de ella brotan, las mas de las veces terminan por poner de manifiesto en diversos modos la autentica
índole de esta institución. Por eso el concilio,
colocando bajo una más clara luz algunos capítulos
de la doctrina de la Iglesia, pretende iluminar y
robustecer a los cristianos y a todos los hombres que
se esfuerzan por proteger y promover la primigenia
dignidad del estado matrimonial y su excelso valor
sagrado.” (Concilio Vaticano II, Constitución Gaudium
et Spes # 47)
