    Faza pustego gniazda jako wyzwanie dla duszpasterstwa rodzin
    Gajda, Tomasz (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2018)
    Pope Francis, writing in the post-synod exhortation Amoris Laetitia on the subject of family difficulties, saw as one of the most important tasks for the Church to accompany spouses in crises, including those who experience the phase of an empty nest (Francis 2016, 235). This stage, distinguished by E. Duvall and other psychologists as a stage in the development of family life, starts at the moment when children leave the family home and undergo the process of separation from parents and full self-empowerment. The stage of an empty nest can be a difficult challenge for the marital relationship and individual well-being of the spouses. This involves a dramatic change in the role of parents and the reorganization of married life. Couples must at this stage learn a new style of living together, sharing and cooperating and rediscover each other. Therefore, it is also a considerable challenge and mission for the pastoral care of the Church towards marriages that are experiencing this stage. Accompanying the ecclesial community, which takes place through the pastoral care of the bond, cannot omit such an important space of family life. Therefore, the article aims to characterize the empty nest phase, highlight the most important factors supporting and hindering the experience of this stage, and attempt to formulate tasks for the pastoral care of families in the context of the papal document on family love Amoris Laetitia.

    Pastoral guidance for cohabiting couples – suggestions for the current Polish context
    Ukleja, Agnieszka Anna (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2018)
    Premarital cohabitation in Poland, although still not as widespread and common as in many western countries, is becoming an attractive form of being in an intimate relationship for a growing number of young adults. This state of things – in spite of the recent, more welcoming attitude towards cohabiting couples introduced by Francis – is not fully recognised by the Polish Episcopate. The Church in Poland had to wait over two years to receive a general guideline for the application of Amoris Laetitia. Also, until now the Polish bishops have not been able to propose any systematic marriage preparation program (MP) or working document – which would offer principles on how to deal pastorally with cohabiting couples. In this article I specifically concentrate on the newest empirical research regarding the quality of cohabiting unions (prior to and after they transit to marriages) as well as on the new orientation towards those living in irregular situations introduced by Francis. Based on these two perspectives, I make several suggestions on how to deal with the Polish cohabiting couples in the context of marriage preparation in a pastorally sensitive and at the same time effective and realistic manner.
