The Vatican on
Friday, April 8 2016 published the much-awaited Post-Synodal Apostolic
Exhortation of Pope Francis titled “Amoris Laetitia” – On the Joy of Love. The
Document on love in the family, signed on 19 March 2016, the Solemnity of Saint
Joseph, contains the results of the two Synods on the family convoked by Pope Francis
in 2014 and 2015. In 2014 the
Vatican hosted an Extraordinary Synod which was in preparation for the October
2015 Ordinary Synod. An estimated 190 bishops from around the world
participated in each gathering. The 2015 Synod’s theme was “the vocation and
mission of the family in the Church and the modern world.”
