This is just a puff piece really that offers no solutions and is too timid to even tackle what is destroying the family.
** Fathers are often entirely occupied by their work and give more wholehearted attention to their work than to their child, more to achievement than to gifts, and to the tasks implied by those gifts. But the loss of involvement of the father also causes grave inner damage to the sons” (God and the World, pp. 274-275).**
Hardly a puff piece when the worldly idols take first place over the family in my opinion.
"Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has laid out both the problem and a theological solution: the problem is prodigal fatherhood, i.e., fatherlessness, in various forms, and the solution is God the Father as our model for fatherhood—“the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named” (Eph. 3:14-15). "
The Left has been destroying the family for some time. It started with trashing fathers, then legalizing abortion, and now trying to replace traditional marriage with gay marriage. I don’t believe a civilization can survive without traditional marriage as the centerpiece and it certainly can’t be deemed to be a great civilization without it. Of course the Left will continue its march to destroy marriage in order to destroy the national sovereignty of the United States.
