Quotes

• The family is at the heart of the worries of the Church in Zaire, because the family constitutes the vital core of human society. The quality of life in the society in general and in the Church in particular depends on the quality of familial life. Today, the family is the privileged target for negative ideologies and practices which denaturalise the meaning of human sexuality and conjugal love. Zaire faces, more and more, a crisis of the family under different imported forms.
