Krzywda, Józef2024-03-202024-03-202012Analecta Cracoviensia, 2012, T. 44, s. 197-306.0209-08642391-6842http://theo-logos.pl/xmlui/handle/123456789/14479The problem treated in the paper refers to acts of legalization of homosexual partnerships which meets strong opposition not only from the Church but also from all the people who believe that marriage and family, rooted in the natural divine law, assure a proper development of these institutions while constituting the guarantee of the development of individual persons and societies. A common sense rational argument (recta ratio) in favor of respect for natural law, verified in the entire experience of human society by the existence of marriage and family, does not agree with acts of authorizing and legitimizing partnership of persons of the same sex. Rejection of – as John Paul II said – God as the Creator, and thus the rejection of the source of determining that which is good and wrong, stands as the root cause of the contestation of the notion of the “human nature”. Therein lies the essence of the problem of evil. There is then a justified hope that the acts in question will be disapproved and rejected by all who follow rational argument (recta ratio).plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/KościółKościół katolickirodzinahomoseksualne związki partnerskiehomoseksualnośćmałżeństwospołeczeństwoJan Paweł IIKarol Wojtyładokumenty KościołaKongregacja Nauki WiaryDykasteria Nauki WiaryChurchCatholic Churchfamilyhomosexual partnershiphomosexualitymarriagesocietyJohn Paul IIDicastery for the Doctrine of the Faithlegalizacja związków homoseksualnychlegalisation of homosexual relationshipsirracjonalność legalizacji związków homoseksualnychirrationality of legalising homosexual relationshipsArticle
