Abstract

In today’s world there is a strong need for a dialogue about the marriage and the family. First and foremost young people, but also families, married couples including non-sacramental marriages are interested in this dialogue. The need for this dialogue can be observed within the Church. This has been demonstrated by the latest Fourteenth Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops as well as the Church’s relations with the world, mainly represented by the mass-media. Therefore it is worth to recall, discover or rediscover this dialogue’s basis.
