Amato/Hahn/Mullane and Highlights of the Papal Addresses

"Growing up in Fairless Hills in the 1960s and ’70s, Tony Amato recalled only one family arrangement.  'Your father worked. Your mother stayed home and took care of the kids. Men supported their families'....'I believe in the family.  The strength of a man and a woman working to raise children,' he said.  He spoke, as we were swept along....Scott Hahn, Catholic convert and theologian, spoke about the Scriptural definition of family: man, woman in a sacramental union with God, that produces a child - a 'tridentine' family in the 'image of God'....Scott Hahn said that if Catholics would simply live out the grace of the sacrament of marriage, in 40 years, America would be a Christian culture again" (J.D. Mullane, Tracing the demise of the traditional family in Lower Bucks County, Courier Times, 9/25/15).
