” “Cardinal Antonio Cañizares, archbishop of Toledo, expressed this morning his "wish that the Pope’s impending visit to Valencia may help change the family law in Spain". The bishop made this statement to the press after speaking at the Theological-Pastoral Congress of the V World Meeting of the Families, which is due to end on July 9th in Valencia. "The main goal of Benedict XVI’s apostolic journey added card. Cañizares is to reassure the pilgrims of the value, the truth and the beauty of the family and to tell them they are not alone". In his opinion, today "it’s getting hard" for the families to fulfil their educational role, because there are "many prejudices" and people think such role should be played by "other institutions". But in a "broken and disrupted society", stated card. Cañizares, the family is "the first and foremost school of humanisation as a community of love". Today, at 1 pm, at the meeting in Valencia, cardinal Alfonso López Trujillo, president of the Papal Council for the Family, celebrated Mass for the repose of the victims of the underground accident.” “
