Problematyka społeczna w nauczaniu Jana Pawła II

Abstract

Social problems are very popular in the John Paul II teaching. The whole, lasting 20 years pontificate, is extraordinarily intensive - in different directions: doctrine, priestly as well as humanistic and it is rich of different essences: religious, moral and social. Today there is still the lack of temporal distance, allowing appearing everything what is significant and permanent in the Pope teaching. It is also difficult to strictly estimate the size of reception of the Holy Father teaching. However, it is certainly very significant in the world of both believers and unbelieving people. In the world of the end of the 20th century, thanks to the Pope teaching, increases the consciousness, that the growing complication of problems has it source in the leaving Jesus Christ and His Gospel and it requires returning to them as quick as possible. Returning to the Gospel means to put Jesus Christ in the centre of all human matters. Today, when a whole of social living is almost exclusively limited to economical size, John Paul II obstinately proclaims often forgotten spiritual values and holy manifesto of Gospel to the whole world. It is difficult lesson, to which some people do not listen, and even among people, who listen to, some do not take its truth to the heart. Nevertheless, even opponents of present pontificate acknowledge the exceptional range of individuality of the Pope and his religious, moral and social authority.
