On eve of synod, European bishops discuss the family
October 03, 2014
On the eve of the extraordinary synod of the family, the Council of the Bishops’ Conferences of Europe (CCEE) is holding a three-day meeting in Rome to discuss the situation of the family in Europe.
Hungarian Cardinal Péter Erdo, the CCEE’s president, said that “we are faced with a paradox: if a good number of studies highlight an increasing decline in the number of couples who decide to get married and, at the same time, highlight the increase in young couples who instead prefer to live not very stable relationships of cohabitation, nevertheless the majority of Europeans yearn for a long-lasting relationship.”
