Vatican Initiative Enhances Research on Family/Marriage at Catholic Universities | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Pope Francis says he supports an initiative to enhance research at Catholic universities regarding family, marriage and child bearing. The project is called The Family Global Compact and was presented May 30th by members of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences and the Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life. The compact includes a 50-page document outlining specific challenges faced by families today, followed by suggested solutions and actions to take. Each challenge also includes guidelines for university research on that topic. Pope Francis said, the compact hopes to harmonize and advance proposals resulting from the research "so that service to the family can be enhanced and sustained in spiritual, pastoral, cultural, legal, political, economic, and social terms."
