Summary/Abstract: The Catechism of the Catholic Church, whose publication has become an important event for the lives of Catholics as well as for the life of all humanity, constitutes, according to the author, a powerful provocation. Given the experience born of adherence to Christ-God Incarnate, we must make the choice. This adherence is always realized in the mystery of the Church (Mystical Body of Christ). What constitutes an alternative to this membership are the harmful tendencies aimed even at the conception of marriage and the family as well as certain practical steps that one wants to legitimize. Given such a status quo, the Catechism message about the family makes people excite different feelings. It deviates an important landmark ensuring the epoir which allows the man to define himself.
