The
family is..the principal school of the social virtues which are necessary
to every society…it is therefore above all in the Christian family…that
children should be taught to know and worship God and to love their neighbor…Parents
should therefore, appreciate how important a role the truly Christian
family plays in the life and progress of the whole people of God.
