About Understanding Marriage & Family: A
Catholic Perspective:


 


In this book Fr. Sebastian explains and defends the traditional
understandings of marriage and family so that the goodness and
beauty of marriage and family can once again shine forth. In the
first part of the book, he clarifies and defends the definitions
of marriage and family and contrasts them with the alternative
proposals of modern society. Marriage and family are natural and
necessary consequences of human nature: thus marriage is not
merely a social construct, but something which fulfills the
deepest inclinations of human nature. In the second part of the
book, he shows how marriage and the relationships within the
family are intrinsically and sacramentally related to the
principal mysteries of the Catholic faith. In the third part of
the book, he shows how family life at both the natural and
supernatural levels can be fostered, preserved, and healed.
