Parenting as a Path to Holiness

In this FRESHImage Presents, Tony Crescio ( @anthonycrescio ) discusses what it means for the Church to teach that the Christian family is the "domestic church." He begins by examining the sociological findings of Christian Smith and Amy Adamczyk in Handing Down the Faith, which reveals several obstacles in our own time and place to truly understanding and living these teachings of the Church. Tony then goes on to discuss how the family can rightly be understood as the "domestic church" and how when it is, parenting becomes a clear path to holiness for all parents, traveled above all by practicing the works of mercy within the home.
