Social ethics and family psychology from Amoris Laetitia. Socio–pastoral and moral approaches

Abstract

Analyze the teaching of Pope Francis in his post–synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia (The joy of love), about love in the family, especially his contributions to ethical, moral and social thinking about the family with their pastoral background inspired by faith. We will use an inter–disciplinary methodology with the dialogue between theology, philosophy and social or human sciences such as psychology. Here we show, using this method, a solid ethic based on an integral anthropology, with the diverse and inter–related ethical and psycho–affective aspects, with its psychological and social elements, for an adequate global vision of the family in its theological–pastoral horizon.
