Zwischen Anspruch, Vision und Wirklichkeit Eine kritische Relektüre römischer Leitlinien zu Ehe und Familie vor dem 2. Vatikanum

In the organizer's words:

In his first lengthy interview with the online newspaper "Crux", Pope Leo XIV reiterated that he does not want to change the Church's teaching on marriage and the family. He spoke out in favor of greater appreciation of the "traditional family", which consists of a father, mother and their biological children. This family is the "foundation" of society.

From a historical perspective, it is interesting to note that this image of the family is relatively recent. The ideal of the nuclear family as a place of security and warmth and as the foundation of society developed in the bourgeois milieu of the 19th century. The church's teaching on marriage and family has developed dynamically over the centuries and has always been shaped by the church's response to the challenges of the time.

In his lecture, the Brixen moral theologian Prof. Dr. Martin M. Lintner shows the most important developments in the Church's teaching on marriage and the family from Pope Leo XIII († 1903) to the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). A look back in history can help to classify and better understand today's discussions.
