Cardinal Filipe Neri Ferrão says there is no single stereotype of an ideal family

Cardinal Filipe Neri Ferrão said there is no single stereotype of an ideal family, describing family life instead as a complex mosaic of diverse realities.

Speaking on Thursday, the Indian cardinal noted that these realities are marked by joys, hopes, difficulties, and wounds. He made these comments ten years after the publication of the apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, stating that the Church in Asia observes this challenging variety of family situations.
