Digital Theologian Podcast: Episode 6

Amoris Laetitia - Part One

In this episode of The Digital Theologian Podcast I am joined by Dr. Maureen Day, professor of pastoral theology at the Franciscan School of Theology. We discuss Pope Francis's 2016 apostoloic exhortation Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love), and its theological and pastoral insights into family life and all the complexities of modern family life. 

In the first part of our conversation we explore the following topics:

• The Diocese of San Diego's synod on marriage and family life following the release of Amoris Laetitia.
• Theology of Marriage/Family

         - Marital love modeled after God's love, Christ and the Church. ~ ¶ 121-122
         - Husbands/Wives participate in God's creation ~ ¶ 29
         - Marital life as a form of liturgy ~ ¶ 215
         - Marriage and the Incarnation ~ ¶ 77

• Denouncing Chauvinism

          - Wives as equals to their husbands ~ ¶ 54, 156​

• Denouncing Individualism ~ ¶ 39, 156
