I think one of the reasons that the power of the Church has declined is because we’ve increased the power of the government. People look to the government for the answers, rather than God. Church-run hospitals, homeless shelters, food pantries, etc. have all been on the decline ever since the “Great Society”.
I agree that children should live with their two biological parents in most cases - it’s just not always realistic. I don’t think there’s a lot the government CAN do about it, even if we remove the question of whether they SHOULD.
I think we’re more or less on the same page, even if our ultimate conlusion is different.

That’s right...and I have no idea how to stop this slide in to Marxism short of armed revolution. I’d like to restore America at the ballot box. Lord, help our country.
