Rodzina XXI wieku w perspektywie nauczania Jana Pawła II
Family of the 21st Century in the Perspective of Teaching of John Paul II

Summary/Abstract: The Second Vatican Council brought a new dynamism in directing the Church towards marriage and family. After Vatican II John Paul II frequently has presented family issues in his speeches, catechesis and written documents supporting not only the theology of family, but also the pastoral care of marriage and family. Pope has developed a vision of the formation towards marriage and family as a special type of “community”. The whole life of this “community” is based upon the sacramental meaning of the family, and therefore receives a special consecration. Human love, especially love in marriage and family prolongs God’s love. Parents are commissioned by God to give their children not only the gift of life, but also the gift of faith. John Paul II objectively looked at the situation and role of the family, so in his teaching he has been pointing ways of strengthening families being destroyed by death civilization.
