"Irish Archbishop refuses to define family"
lifesitenews.com
"We must not 'allow ourselves to be become entangled in trying to produce definitions of the family' because different cultural values mean family 'cannot be defined simply,' the Archbishop of Dublin said in a speech preparing for the 2018 World Meeting of Families.
Dublin Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, who has previously said the controversial exhortation Amoris Laetitia will be the 'core resource' for the family life conference’s catechesis, lamented that one of the problems with the world is that we 'judge things in black and white.' He suggested that this is at odds with Pope Francis’ vision of morality.
'Let me say something about which I feel strongly: do not allow ourselves to be become entangled in trying to produce definitions of the family,' Martin said. 'Family is such a transcultural value that it cannot be defined simply. We may find it hard to define, but we all recognize what is family. We should not be rushing in telling people what to do, without first of all recognizing what is great and beautiful and courageous in so many Irish families... 'Family is about love, no matter how imperfect and failing: it is about a love which enriches lives,' he continued."
