Raising Courteous and Caring Children Pope Francis, in his Apostolic Exhortation on Love in the Family reminds married couples, quoting the Synod Fathers, that “one of the fundamental challenges facing families today is undoubtedly that of raising children, made all the more difficult and complex by today’s cultural reality and the powerful influence of the media.” The Pope insists that the overall education of children “is a most serious duty” and at the same time a “primary right” of parents. He reminds parents that “all other participants in the process of education are only able to carry out their responsibilities in the name of the parents, with their consent and, to a certain degree, with their authorization.” This primordial parental task is made more difficult in these times when some of our leaders, starting with the head of state, are giving the wrong examples in the coarse language they use and the lack of refinement in dealing with other people.
