From June 9-12, 2021, the Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life held an online Forum "Where are We with Amoris Laetitia? Strategies for the Pastoral Application of Pope Francis' Exhortation."
This initiative is part of the "Amoris Laetitia Family" Year and was taken as a moment of dialogue in synodal style on the experiences and perspectives of the implementation of the apostolic exhortation aimed at supporting the application of Amoris Laetitia in a pastoral and missionary key. The forum was held as a webinar due to ongoing travel and health-related restrictions. However, this allowed for more people to participate. Around 350 delegates from 70 episcopal conferences and 30 international associations and movements participated in the forum.
The various sessions of the Forum were based on the experiences of the various ecclesial realities and dealt with marriage preparation, the training of accompanying persons, the education of children, conjugal spirituality, family missionary work, and pastoral paths to accompany, discern, and integrate fragilities (see attached program).
