Abstract

The family cannot be isolated like a monad, Pope Francis told us when he received us in marking the 20th anniversary of the European Federation of Catholic Family Associations (FAFCE). As the Pope underlined, “Families need to go out from themselves; they need to dialogue and to encounter others, in order to build a unity that is not uniformity and that can generate progress and advance the common good” (Address of Pope Francis to the participants of the meeting organised by FAFCE, Clementine Hall, Vatican City, 1 June 2017). Advancing the common good also means contribute to shape good policies which respond to the concrete needs of the families themselves. Thus, family networks are essential to provide a framework of mutual assistance and action, and to develop a bottom-up approach for effective family policies.
