Testimonial to Volume IV: Marriage, Family and Sexuality
Preface to Volume IV
I thank Mr. George P. Morse and Catholics Committed to Support the Pope for another invaluable volume of Church teaching.
I am confident that all who take up this book will find not only a handy key to Catholic teaching but also they will be inspired to go back to the complete texts of the great documents,
in particular Humanae Vitae and Familiaris Consortio.
In this way, they can help the family to respond to the other challenge of Pope John Paul II in Familiaris Consortio, n. 17: “Family, become what you are!”
