FAMILY 2012: CARD. KOREC (SLOVAKIA), “STRONGHOLD OF CHRISTIANITY” DURING “PERSECUTION”

[<< INDIETRO] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -     

“Good Christian families are the richness of the Church! We saw that even in our homeland, Slovakia, during the forty years of Communist persecution”. Card. Ján Chryzostom Korec, Bishop Emeritus of Nitra (Slovakia), wrote this in a letter to Card. Ennio Antonelli, president of the Pontifical Council for the Family. Thanking him for the invitation to the seventh World Meeting of Families (Milan 30 May – 3 June), he assured him of his “spiritual presence sustained by his prayers, and in particular, by the celebration of the Eucharist”. The cardinal highlighted that “Christian families alongside zealous priests have always been the solid pillars of our Church and nation, even during the dark and painful times of our history”. He described the family as “antemurale Christianitatis”, that is, a “stronghold of Christianity” because “good families have been, and still are, the security and firmness of our countries. We can never forget that”.
