Calendar It!

This from Notre Dame’s Center for Ethics and Culture:

“[P]lease keep in mind that our 2008 annual Fall conference: The Family: Searching for Fair Love, will take place November 6-8, 2008. We believe this theme will prove very timely. In 2008 the Church will celebrate important anniversaries of Pope Paul VI’s Encyclical Humanae Vitae (1968), and Pope John Paul II’s Apostolic Letter Mulieris Dignitatem (1988), and we have also noticed that Pope Benedict’s message for the celebration of the World Day of Peace on January 1, 2008, already available on the Vatican website, takes the family as its central theme. In that message the Holy Father says that “The natural family, as an intimate communion of life and love, based on marriage between a man and a woman, constitutes “the primary place of ‘humanization’ for the person and society,” and a “cradle of life and love.”” Our 2008 annual Fall conference will aim both to explore and to promote the Holy Father’s exaltation of the family as the primary place of humanization for the person and society.”
