Authentic Education within the Family
The pope asserts that “parents always influence the moral development of their children, for better or for worse.” Thus, it follows that they “should take up this essential role and carry it out consciously, enthusiastically, reasonably and appropriately” (259), employing both traditional and newer methods to guide their children. Such an approach could convey “a negative attitude towards the natural procreative finality of sexuality, as if an eventual child were any enemy to be protected against” (283).The goal must be to teach “sensitivity to different expressions of love, mutual concern and care, loving respect and deeply meaningful communication” (283). Pope Francis provides a rich and diverse list of evangelizing activities proper to the family: “solidarity with the poor, openness to a diversity of people, the protection of creation, moral and material solidarity with other families, including those most in need, commitment to the promotion of the common good and the transformation of unjust social structures, beginning in the territory in which the family lives, through the practice of the corporal and spiritual works of mercy” (290).
