Defense of the Family is a Priority

Pope Benedict XVI asked the bishops of the region of the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo to forge a strong commitment to life, now threatened by ideologies and behaviours which is reducing it to reduce to a commodity.

Speaking to the bishops at the end of their Ad Limina visit, the Pope noted that marriage between a man and a woman, a sign of God's love and foundation of society is a fundamental dimension of the human person and cannot be reduced to a field of medical and scientific techniques.

As bishops, concluded the Pope, we must always remember the sacred and transcendent character of human life because life from conception to natural death belongs to God.
