Pope Benedict XVI state that Rabbi Neusner " rightly see this commandment as anchoring the heart of the social order " . It strengthen generational relationships , make explicit the connection between family order and societal stability , and reveal that the family is " both willed and protected by God . " Because parents ' unconditional love for their children mirror God 's love , and because they have a duty to pass the faith on to their children , the Catechism call the family " a domestic church " , " a privileged community " and the " original cell of social life " .
