Summary/Abstract: From the perspective of Catholic personalism, which was co-created by Primate Stefan Wyszyński in Poland for several decades, human parenthood also has a sacral connotation. Procreation is not a purely human act, but it is rooted in the creative will of God. For this reason, it is marked by the trait of responsibility not only in the natural but also in the supernatural dimension. Responsible parenthood, founded on a personalistically understood human being, as a body and spiritual synthesis, respects the integrity of human procreation. Referring to Stefan Wyszyński’s analysis of responsible parenthood, the presented publication highlights its anthropological dimension, the complementarity of women and men, and tasks related to the parental function.
