We
recognize the natural 'animal' sexual instinct (as opposed to
'human' qualities of self-control, selfless love and
responsibility) that since ancient times has attracted
individuals towards sexual self-gratification and promiscuity in
many different ways.
We
also recognize that these tendencies have consistently produced
struggle, litigation, illness, poverty, tension, conflict,
children misery and psychological problems.
We
thus believe that many of these problems can be prevented or
solved through stable relationships within the family (as an
ideal model of intimate relationships, procreation and rearing
of children).
This
model of family is defined by the FCP to represent the most likely
organization which will produce peace and harmony in the family
itself, which will translate in a positive "return
on investment"
for society, as the family develops and becomes prosperous.
There
is no ulterior motive on our part (i.e.: we are not called, as a
party, to evangelization, which is the realm of religion), but
we maintain that the government is responsible not only for the
life of individuals, but also for the preservation of the
environment which individuals need to grow and thrive. That is
the family, the basic institution, the building block that
ultimately, together with other families, forms society.
