WASHINGTON (CNS) — The family under discussion when the extraordinary Synod of Bishops convenes at the Vatican Oct. 5 will bear little resemblance to the family of 50 or even 20 years ago. The blended and extended families created by high rates of divorce, remarriage and cohabita- tion — along with the worldwide migration prompted by economic turmoil and war — have combined to change forever the view of family as limited to a mother, father and their children. But children are still most likely to live in two-parent families in all countries except South Africa, according to the World Family Map 2014, a research project sponsored by the Bethesda, Maryland-based CNS PHOTO/TYLER ORSBURN nonprofit Child Trends and a variety in the United States, the United include a married couple and 34 dren today.
