Orzeszyna, Jan2023-01-132023-01-132008Polonia Sacra, 2008, R. 12 (30), Nr 23 (67), s. 97-114.1428-5673http://theo-logos.pl/xmlui/handle/123456789/3107After analyzing the reasons for the attacks on a modern family John Paul II points out the failure of anthropology which has lost the truth about human being. He pays attention to the fact that the family crisis is connected with the crisis of freedom. In the name of freedom from religion one rejects God's revelation and at the same time the truth about marriage and family. He/she attacks the conception of family as a community in which a basis is a marriage of a man and woman. John Paul II believes that the remedy for the anthropological misconceptions which threaten marriage and family is a return to Bible as a source of the truth about a human being. In the Pope's opinion the marriage and family issues should be considered in the light of mystery of the Holy Trinity. The mystery is the deepest foundation in the search of the truth about family. The family, in a remarkable way, reminds us about the mystery of God. John Paul II brings to the forefront a religious dimension in the discussion about a man, marriage and family despite the tendencies to reduce this subject matter to the margin of subjectivism and privacy.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/rodzinamałżeństwoantropologiazagrożeniaJan Paweł IIKarol WojtyłapapieżekapłaniduchowieństwohomoseksualizmgodnośćrodzicielstwoKościółkryzys rodzinyfamilymarriageanthropologydangersJohn Paul IIpopesclergypriesthoodhomosexualitydignityparenthoodChurchfamily crisissakramentysacramentsArticle
