Overview
Marriage and Family from Pontifical John Paul II Institute aims to promote a "culture of life": a culture whose members "see life in its deeper meaning, its beauty and its invitation to freedom and responsibility"; who do not so much "presume to take possession of reality" as to "accept it as a gift, discovering in all things the reflection of the Creator and seeing in every person his living image"
