Defense of the Family is a Priority

Pope Benedict XVI asked the bishops of the region of the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo to forge a strong commitment to life, now threatened by ideologies and behaviors which is reducing it to a commodity.

Speaking to the bishops at the end of their Ad Limina visit, the Pope noted that marriage between a man and a woman, a sign of God’s love and foundation of society is a fundamental dimension of the human person and cannot be reduced to a field of medical and scientific techniques.

As bishops, concluded the Pope, we must always remember the sacred and transcendent character of human life because life from conception to natural death belongs to God.

This is a challenge for all of us.  To forge a strong commitment to life.  That marriage between man and a woman is a sign of GOD's love and foundation of society.  Take note that life from conception to natural death belongs to GOD.
