FAMILIA ÎN INVĂTĂTURA SOCIALĂ A PAPEI LEON AL XIII LEA
FAMILY IN THE SOCIAL TEACHINGS OF POPLE LEON XIII

Summary/Abstract: Without ignoring the contribution of the sociological school, such as the expe-rimental sciences institutes, studies that have influenced, by their theories, the actions of the governments regarding family, we can constantly remark the invol-vement of the Church, always attentive to the issues of vital importance for people, an involvement expressed by pontiffs as allocutions, encyclical and radio-messages. The article shows the interest towards the institution of family expres-sed in the social teachings of Pope Leon XIII, the first modern Pontiff who had a firm and radical stand as a defender of the Christian family and marriage, being aware of the new progress of the time that was leading to the drainage of their main religious root. Regarding marriage, Pope Leon has never ceased to fight for the absolute sacramental dignity that was supposed to remain in the sole competence of the Church.
