The Influence of Circumstances on the Consciences of the Faithful.

Living in such a world, under the pressures coming above all from mass media, the faithful do not always remain immune from the obscuring of certain fundamental values, nor set themselves up as the critical conscience of family culture and as active agents in the building of an authentic family humanism.
Among the more troubling signs of this phenomenon, the Synod Fathers stressed the following in particular; the spread of divorce and of recourse to a new union,even on the part of the faithful; the acceptance of purely civil marriage in contradiction to the vocation of the baptized to" be married in The Lord"; the celebration of the marriage sacrament without living faith, but for other motives; the rejection of the moral norms that guide and promote the human and Christian exercise of sexuality in marriage.
