How to understand what qualifies a human being? Pope Francis responds in address to Pontifical Academy for Life - ZENIT - English : Pope's address to the members of the Pontifical Academy for Life

After the guests refused his invitation, the king, the main character in the story, tells his servants: “Go therefore to the thoroughfares, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find” (v. 9).

After saying “yes,” you leave your childhood home, bid your farewells, say your see-you-laters (definitely not goodbyes), pack your entire life into a handful of suitcases, and embark on a new journey with your beloved. And guess what? Everything changes. It’s definitely one of life’s most significant transitions. No more waking up or having breakfast alone; now it’s a bundled 2-for-1 deal. Two distinct individuals become one entity. But let’s talk about coexistence – it’s a path that can lead to either a nightmarish scenario or a beautiful opportunity f...
