Family and Sanctity
What do we
understand by the phrase “the Sanctity of the Family?”
Surprisingly, the two words, family and sanctity, are
interrelated, especially the first to the second. It
seems the first without the second is a non-vibrant
entity, or an entity unknowing of its identity. Such a
characterization is valid, since the word sanctity, or
holiness, in either a religious context or a popular
context, cannot differ from the meaning of the words
“clean,” “pure,” “spotless,” “sinless,” “humble,” and
“righteous.” Each of these words, separately, exerts a
force that parallels that of the word “sanctity.”
The structure of a family, in addition to having a
sociological character, also has a religious complexion,
because it has a telling influence on the birth and
upbringing of an individual. . .
