Summary/Abstract: In his article the author examines several important aspects of pastoral practice by conversing with young people about sexuality from the theological and moral points of view. The article is divided into five sections. In the first section the author emphasizes the place and role of young people in the contemporary society based on the teaching of the Council. In the second section he analyses sexuality within the context of the social progress and the mechanisms connected with it. These have influenced the singling out of sexuality as an individual scientific topic and as an autonomous social phenomenon. In the third section the author throws light upon some negative consequences of the sexual revolution that resulted in the radical emancipation of sexuality in view of other aspects of human life, especially of matrimony, family and reproduction.
