Rorate Caeli: Following their conference meeting in Accra from 4 through 15 November, a communique from the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference was released on the theme, “The Pastoral Challenges of the Family in the Context of Evangelisation.”
An excerpt:
The Church’s perennial and unchanging teaching on the family is based on the nature of man but especially on Scripture and Sacred Tradition namely, that God ordained marriage to be between man and woman, when “God made them male and female and blessed them”. God also intended marriage to be open to life when, “He blessed them and said increase and multiply” (Gen. 1:27-28). Furthermore, God determined marriage to be indissoluble as Jesus affirmed, “What therefore God has put together, let no man put asunder” (Matt. 19:6).
