The conference aims to deepen the critical issues, the provocations and the ideas of the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia of Pope Francis, to progress in theological-moral reflection, in the awareness that it continues to have a programmatic significance for the theology of marriage and family, and finally, for Christian ethics. For this reason it is necessary to start again from pastoral practice, in its ecclesial horizon, to rethink theological-moral questions, in a constructive dialogue with universal human experience, but always particular in different cultures and life histories.
