The family is the domestic church. The role of the Christian family: a) forming a community of persons - the role of men, women, children, and the elderly; b) serving Life - the transmission of life (regulation of births, contraception, artificial insemination) and the education of children; c) participating in the development of society; d) sharing in the life and mission of the Church: the Christian family as a believing and evangelizing community, a community in dialogue with God, and a community at the service of man.
