Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes whether in the current bioethical discussion there are no direct connections between documents, such as the Humanae vitae and the Istanbul Convention. He notes that the positions observed regarding the understanding of changes in human existence are so deep that they touch both secular and ecclesial thoughts and attitudes. As a consequence, they divide people in such a fundamental way that their opinion about the quality of perinatal care standards is fundamentally different. For (exceptionally) far-reaching consequences for social life (marital, family, etc.), he recognizes that in certain (even quoted in the article) Roman interpretations of the current confusion regarding the doctrinal importance of the exorcism of Amoris laetitia, which affects the current interpretation of the Humanae vitae encyclical, and the entire Catholic bioethics (compare action on the Istanbul Convention), you can find references referring to the doctrine of the Second Vatican Council, the teachings of Pope Paul VI, and John Paul II himself. The point is that these references are understood in terms of: error, sin and the need for pastoral conversion. Such a change arouses serious controversy.
