The purpose of A Catechism for Family Life: Insights from Church
Teaching on Love, Marriage, Sex, and Parenting is to present the
teachings of the Catholic Church as they relate to specific
questions in marriage and family life. Many Catholics are
under-catechized and have trouble both understanding and
articulating Church teaching on sexuality and marriage to an
increasingly challenging culture. Pope Francis, along with the
fathers of the two recent Synods on the Family, have called for
better formation for those who work in the area of marriage and
family life (see Amoris Laetitia, 202). To address this need, we
gathered pertinent questions facing men, women, and pastoral
workers in marriage and family life. We then found passages
relevant to these questions by researching Church documents on
marriage and family from the past one hundred years. These include
papal encyclicals, apostolic exhortations, and addresses, Vatican
II documents, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Mainstream
media coverage of Church events and Church teaching leads many to
misunderstand Catholic positions on marriage and family life. While
the Catholic Church has developed a rich, detailed, and positive
teaching on marriage, family, and sexuality, many Catholics do not
have access to this teaching, buried as it is in lengthy Church
documents which many find intimidating. Finding the relevant
teaching to address specific questions is not always a simple task,
either. This book's main contribution is to present Church teaching
relevant to marriage and family in one volume clearly organized by
topic and question.
