Family According to St. John Paul II

Zbigniew Waleszczuk



Abstract

The family is a place where man discovers his own dignity, where he learns the meaning of love. Family is a school of solidarity. The defense and rediscovery of the human person and his/hers determination to transcendence is, according to Karol Wojtyla, the most important question of our culture. Conjugal love in the image of communio personarum, is presented as the most perfect form of love. Wojtyla tries to describe this shortened spiritualistic view in a human-friendly and family-friendly way. In Pope's philosophy, the experience of me-and-you love plays an extraordinary role. In today's threat to the integrity of the family John Paul II realizes the most fateful dimension of self-alienation of modern man and brings it to the formula „culture of death”. On the other hand, the family is „the place where the culture of life – a school of solidarity – is represented”.
