Tenth Anniversary of the Exhortation Amoris Laetitia

Tenth Anniversary of the Exhortation Amoris Laetitia

Il 19 marzo 2016, Papa Francesco ha offerto alla Chiesa universale un luminoso messaggio di speranza riguardo all’amore coniugale e famigliare: l’Esortazione apostolica Amoris laetitia, frutto di tre anni di discernimento sinodale sostenuti dall’Anno Santo della Misericordia. In questo decimo anniversario, vogliamo rendere grazie al Signore per l’impulso dato allo studio e alla conversione pastorale della Chiesa e chiedergli il coraggio di proseguire il cammino, accogliendo sempre nuovamente il Vangelo, nella gioia di poterlo annunciare a tutti.

Emotional manipulation, emotional traps

Emotional manipulation, emotional traps

“Why do I always fall for it?”, Penelope asks angrily. It happens frequently in relationships with men who use manipulative communication. Of course, Penelope is not aware of manipulation, because when we are in a dysfunctional relationship, we hardly understand its nature. Even when we are cognitively aware of it, it is not said that we cannot “fall” for it emotionally. Because the heart gets the better of the head.
