cosmopolitan than any other institution which has held a
comparable place in American life, this book offers an
opportunity to observe the shaping role of American ideals and
American circumstances. How "American" has Catholicism
become in America? In what ways has American life been
touched and shaped by Catholicism?

Exhortation (Familiaris

Pope John Paul II Knowing that marriage and the family constitutes one of the
most precious of human values, the church speaks here and
offers help to: 1) those who are already aware of the value of
marriage and the family and seek to live it faithfully: 2) to those
who are uncertain and anxious and searching for the truth; and
3) to those who are unjustly impeded from freely living their
family lives. It is of particular interest to the young - beginning
their journey in the vocation of marriage and family.
