Rev. Dr Joseph Mizzi, Director, Cana Movement, Floriana
Mgr Vella's inconsistencies (2)
"There is a great charisma within the Cana Movement to proclaim, protect and spread the teachings of the Church regarding marriage. For this reason, whenever the values of marriage, the family and life are threatened, the Cana Movement cannot keep silent, it is in duty bound to lead in a constructive way, in order to preserve these values" (Mgr Charles Vella, Minn Milan ghal Malta, Media Centre Print 2004, 45).
With reference to what is being published and said in the media, the Cana Movement would like to reiterate that its ideals, beliefs and responsibilities are still as quoted above.
The Cana Movement publicly confirms the principles which have motivated it since its inception; that of promoting and working in favour of healthy marriages; meaning the formal union of love between a man and a woman, open to life, till death do them part. Such union is the foundation of every family and the fundamental ingredient necessary for the good and prosperity of every society.
This work is carried out by the Cana Movement as in- spired by the Word of God and explained to us by the Magis-terium of the Church. For this reason, anyone who opposes these fundamental teachings is not only going against Christ's teachings but also against the common good.

Alla hares the Cana Movement was to keep silent!! One would at least expect its Founder to also reiterate the same ideals, beliefs and responsibilities. Having said that, Mgr Vella's inconsistencies and the ensuing discussions in several other media seems to have served as a catalyst for further debate.
What has been a slap in the face for those of us who work to promote family values could well become an opportunity to spread such values.
Prosit Cana and ProgettImpenn.
