AMORIS LAETITIA Pope Francis released this Apostolic Exhortation in the Spring of 2016. A preparatory synod in the Fall of 2015 reflecting on the situation of the family in the light of the New Evangelization helped fuel this timely document. Amoris Laetitia addresses the topic: "On Love in the Family."

FAMILIARIS CONSORTIO In 1981, Pope John Paul II wrote this insightful Apostolic Exhortation discussing the Christian Family in the modern world. Marriage, the Family, Church as Teacher and Mother and many more topics are discussed in depth. Along with Amoris Laetitia it is highly relevant to modern family life.

RERUM NOVARUM Pope Leo XIII issued this Encyclical on the rights and duties of Capital and Labor in May of 1891. It is no easy matter to define the relative rights and mutual duties of the rich and of the poor, of capital and of labor. The first of a series of "Social Encyclicals" written by the Popes. As relevant today as it was over 100 years ago.
