MEXICO CITY (CNS) — The Sixth World Meeting of Families opened Jan. 14 with a warning from the Mexican president that a breakdown in family values is leading to increased social problems and crime. “Many of those that die in confrontations are young people that are detached from a nuclear family, something that results in an absolute lack of values,” President Felipe Calderon told attendees while opening the five-day meeting. “It’s the responsibility of governments to create conditions of security — economic, social, public, judicial and cultural — that make the full development of families possible,” he said. Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera of Mexico City echoed those sentiments in his opening remarks. “Recognizing and helping this institution (the family) is one of the best services that can be offered for the common good and the true development of (people) and societies,” he said. The theme of the meeting is “The Family, Teacher of Human and Christian Values.”
