Marriage Matters to Kids!

Friends of ours participated in a video project on marriage. It's very well done:

A group of dear local San Francisco Friends worked on a video to address the current debate on Marriage on facts, that is, on its essential and natural intent separate from current ideological and political rhetoric. To me what makes this video a successful narrative is that it elaborates marriage from the necessary and natural preference of what is best for children. I ask myself, if all things are equal, what is best for children. Ideas are formed by culture and deconstructed by counter culture movements. This is a historical and sociological fact. --Martin Ford

You can find a video of the presentation on Fr. Giussani's book The Risk of Education here. Fr. Julián Carrón, successor to Msgr. Giussani as leader of the Communion and Liberation movement, begins his presentation about halfway through.
