Christendom College’s 18th Annual Summer Institute on Marriage and the Family was held at its Front Royal, Virginia campus on July 21.

Providing a unique political perspective, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) spoke of the importance of the family in keeping America’s founding values and vision strong.

“The family is under attack,” he said. “No fault divorce laws increase the divorce rate in states by 10-80%; the government does have a role to play. The policies of the left do make a difference. Government support of unmarried single mothers has had a huge impact as well as other programs that make fathers less of a necessity and more of an option for the raising of children and the establishment of families."

Bishop Robert Morlino of Madison, Wisconsin discussed marriage and the natural law. “Whether you are a Buddhist, Muslim, Christian, agnostic or atheist, one is bound by the natural law because one is human. Natural law simply states God’s plan for the way human beings should live out their own humanness,” he said.

Christendom College’s 18th Annual Summer Institute on Marriage and the Family was held at its Front Royal, Virginia campus on July 21.

College President Dr. Timothy O’Donnell spoke on the family as a Domestic Church. “There is no doubt that the family, as we know it, is under attack. Everyone has an obligation to prayerfully read Familiaris Consortio, such an important and beautiful Church document on marriage and the family."

O’Donnell highlighted many of the attacks that the family is under today. “Feminism in its militant form is essentially demonic,” he said, “because it tears apart and rends asunder what God meant to be joined together.

“These days there’s more devotion to Lost, 24, or American Idol than there is to the family rosary,” he lamented.
