The Hope of the Family
Carlos Granados (editor)
Ignatius Press, 2014
90 pages, $10.95 paperback

The main problem with Catholic families, contends Cardinal Gerhard Müller, is not the small number of civilly remarried divorced Catholics who want to receive Communion. Rather, it’s the large number of Catholics who live together before marriage, who marry civilly, or who don’t even bother with marriage.

Furthering the problem is the widespread failure of Catholics to understand marriage as a way of Christian discipleship. In this engaging conversation, the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith addresses today’s challenges facing marriage and family life. The Church, he says, must undertake a robust new evangelization of the family.
