8. Yes, that is what he claims

The natural family, as an intimate communion of life and love, based on marriage between a man and a woman, constitutes “the primary place of ‘humanization' for the person and society”, and a “cradle of life and love”.

For him, a 'natural family' must be based on a married man and woman. No marriage, then no family, seems to be his definition.
