CWN Editor's Note: New statistics from the US Census Bureau show a slight increase in the percentage of American children living in two-parent households.
The percentage of American children living with two parents had been 88% in 1960. That figure slipped steadily for more than 40 years, reaching a low of 67% in 2005. But it has crept upward since that time, and in 2023 hit 71.1%.

With the release of Fiducia Supplicans, one has to ask if all the 2-parent households under consideration consist of a natural-born man and a natural-born woman as parents. The Catholic Church seems to be moving into questionable territory in its consideration of blessings for "modern" families, i.e., families not headed by one natural-born man and one natural-born woman united in sacred matrimony, but instead by combinations that clergy are not permitted to inquire about. Turning a blind eye.
