CWN Editor's Note: Addressing a United Nations forum today, a Vatican diplomat called upon the international community to “prioritize the eradication of poverty” and enact pro-family policies.
“The Holy See also wishes to emphasize the vital role of the family as the fundamental unity of society, a ‘primary social good,’ and a crucial source of resilience,” said Msgr.
