Kościół a migracje
The Church and migrations

Summary/Abstract: The Author points out that the migration crisis is a specific challenge for the Church which has never been inert on the fate of those who could not enjoy themselves with a native home for too long. With the aim of considering the Catholic Church’s attitude to the migrants, at first he answers the question: who is an emigrant? Next, he explains that the Church is built and being built on the foundations of the word of God and the Eucharist, and the Church has been committed to the issues of the global migrations since its inception. The Author also undertakes the analysis of the Popes’statements - how Pope Saint John Paul II and Pope Francis have addressed those issues. Furthermore, he discusses the aspect of moral migration. In the summary, he marks out that in the context of huge and serious problems connected to the migration crisis, the Church wants to remind that the primary human’s right is the right to live in his/her own homeland. However, this right will be exercised only when all the reasons provoking suffering caused by forced abandonment of family home cease with the help of all the people of good will.
