A quote from Pope Francis:

“To seek what the Lord asks of His Church now, we must listen to the heartbeat of our times and perceive the spirit of humanity today, remaining impressed by their joys and hopes, their sadness and anguish. At that point, we will know how to propose credibly the good news on the family.”
