Scholars at a two-day conference in Rome explored the beauty of God's plan for the marital union and the importance of this union for individuals and society as a whole.
"The goal of the conference is to examine, to analyze what the conjugal union really is," said Father Jose Granados, of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family, which organized the conference at the request of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Held September 20-21, the international colloquium focused on "The Language of the Body and the Conjugal Union."
It featured experts in the fields of psychology, sociology, philosophy, theology and scripture, and examined different aspects of the conjugal union and its profound importance.
