Humanum 2014 is Happening: ‘Marriage must be honored’

In a column titled “While You’re Distracted, Humanum is Happening” Erick Erickson of RedState.com notes, “There are more important things in life than politics. One of those things is happening as I write. Most of the world is oblivious to it. The press corps has completely ignored it. But it may be one of the most consequential events in the early twenty-first century. It is called Humanum.”

Erickson writes:

In Rome, at the Vatican, an interfaith gathering is occurring to discus marriage. Leading voices in the Buddhist, Jewish, Hindu, Mormon, Muslim, and Christian communities have gathered to support and strengthen each other in the struggle against growing anti-faith norms toward marriage and family. Pope Francis opened the gathering with a strong speech. Russell Moore of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention spoke as did Rick Warren of Saddleback, whose speech earned a standing ovation.

Watch Reverend Dr. Richard D. Warren of Saddleback Church give his remarks at Humanum on marriage, an institution which “must be honored”:
