In an exclusive interview, Archbishop Henryk Hoser of the Warszawa-Praga Diocese discusses the controversies around the upcoming Synod on the Family in October.
The acceptance of the teaching of Humanae Vitae is a necessary condition for the restoration of stable marriages and healthy families within the Church, and a precondition for evangelisation.
The family is threatened 'by growing efforts on the part of some to redefine the very institution of marriage, by relativism, by the culture of the ephemeral, by a lack of openness to life,' he said.
Archbishop Terrence Prendergast warned of a 'false sensitivity or tolerance' in the Church 'which suggests it’s good to allow people to continue down a dangerous path.'
One of the most informative and useful of all items related to the Synod on the Family could be seen to be Fr. Daniel McCaffery’s comments during LSN's recorded telephone interview with him.
