Angolan bishops: Television and the Internet ‘poisoning’ the family

The Catholic bishops of Angola and Santo Tomé have issued a ringing denunciation of the assault of modern society against the family, as the government considers alterations to the penal code that could eliminate penalties for abortion, reports LifeSiteNews.com.

Uniting themselves to Pope Benedict XVI, who recently traveled to Africa, the bishops note in a pastoral message, issued in the wake of the most recent Synod of African Bishops held in Rome, that the family is “the primary unit of the Church and of society,” calling it “the domestic church.”

They observe, however, that the family is under assault by the media and the Internet, which despite their benefits “also have poisonous effects on the heart of the family.”
