POPE CANONIZES A MARRIED COUPLE

There has been a family synod in Rome called by Pope Francis  against a background of pressure from the homosexual and paedophile lobby for the church to accept same sex marriage.

But last week, the Pope did something amazing. He canonized a married couple affirming the place of family love in the will of God. Please click:

2 days ago - Pope Francis conducts the first canonisation of a married 
couple, in a ceremony in St Peter's Square at the Vatican.

They were Louis and Marie Zelle Guerin Martin who lived in France in 19^th century and had 9 children, four of whom died. The remaining five were all girls who became nuns.

The youngest Therese died of tuberculosis aged 24 years in 1897 and was canonized in 1925. She wrote a book Story of a Soul that inspired generations of Catholics.

The canonization of the holy spouses focuses on the importance of day to day faith and love for a family. It has taken the pressure off the Pope and placed it in the context of Christian faith.
