Human Law Is Law Only By Virtue Of Its Accordance With Right Reason
Human law is law only by virtue of its accordance with right reason, and thus it is manifest that it flows from the eternal law. And in so far as it deviates from right reason it is called an unjust law; in such case it is no law at all, but rather a species of violence. - Saint Thomas Aquinas

The Christian Family, Through A Process Of Ongoing Conversion Supported By The Grace Of God, Reflects The Splendour Of Christ In The World
Just like the Church, [the family] is called to welcome,
radiate and show the world the love and the presence of Christ. The Christian
Family to the extent it succeeds in living love as communion and service as a
reciprocal gift open to all, through a process of ongoing conversion supported
by the grace of God, reflects the splendour of Christ in the world and the beauty
of the divine Trinity. – Pope Benedict XVI
