care for us and in many cases dedicate their lives in service to us.

Waitara for 22 years.

Surprise! One of the Church's family issues is polygamy
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2014/09/11/surprise-one-of-the-churchs-family-issues-is-polygamy/

to flash on divorce, or the challenges of single-parent households, or
perhaps same-sex relationships and the push for gay marriage. What
probably wouldn't come naturally to mind is polygamy. Yet in many
parts of the non-Western world, polygamy is a major feature of family
life, and thus a major pastoral challenge for the Catholic Church...
