“The Church has preserved and continues to preserve the teaching of the sanctity of the family sanctioned by God. The church bears witness to the purity of the order God has set forth in the family and in society. If marriage is as it was before considered a holy mystery, then child-bearing must be a natural part of human life… If a Christian attitude is once again restored to family values, Western society would cease to be a sick, withering tree, its boughs dying, more branches drying up than new ones sprouting.”
