In this eagerly awaited document, entitled 'Amoris Laetitia', or The Joy of Love<http://global.us10.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=9a4574228876a94c19d41644f&id=13ab81e928&e=1c7317ca58>, he affirms the Church's teaching that stable families are the building blocks of a healthy society and a place where children learn to love, respect and interact with others. In the document Pope Francis also discusses the role of the family in caring for creation. "In the family too, we can rethink our habits of consumption and join in caring for the environment as our common home. 'The family is the principal agent of an integral ecology, because it is the primary social subject which contains within it the two fundamental principles of human civilization on earth: the principle of communion and the principle of fruitfulness" (Amoris Laetitia, 277). This reiterates his ideas from last year's encyclical on ecology, Laudato Si', where he states, "In the family we first learn how to show love and respect for life" (Laudato Si', 213). During this Year of Mercy in which we celebrate the one-year anniversary of Laudato Si', we remember the Lord's mercy on us and joyfully renew our vow to protect creation and the principles of communion and fruitfulness.
