The Vatican has sponsored an International Interreligious Colloquium on The Complementarity of Man and Woman [in Marriage] this week called ‘Humanum’. In the opening address, Pope Francis shared: Commit yourselves, so that our youth do not give themselves over to the poisonous environment of the temporary, but rather be revolutionaries with the courage to seek true and lasting love.” Each session has premiered one of six short films treating men and women and marriage the world over. They are beautifully done and each film features a variety of illuminating interviews with young and old, single and married, women and men, lay and religious, from many cultures, continents and religions. Topics range from the beauty of the union between the man and the woman, to the loss of confidence in marital permanence, to the cultural and economic woes that follow upon the disappearance of marriage.
