especially:

keeping with the family’s own moral and religious convictions;
– the protection of the stability of the marriage bond and the institution of
the family;
– the freedom to profess one’s faith, to hand it on, and raise one’s children
in it, with the necessary means and institutions;
– the right to private property, to free enterprise, to obtain work and
housing, and the right to emigrate;
– in keeping with the country’s institutions, the right to medical care,
assistance for the aged, and family benefits;
– the protection of security and health, especially with respect to dangers
like drugs, pornography, alcoholism, etc.;
– the freedom to form associations with other families and so to have
representation before civil authority.15
