These changes are a source of hope but also they carry a lot of questions and problems. The questions deserve attention of the Church whose mission it is to preach the Gospel in order to fill the whole reality of the earth with its spirit. The article undertakes the issue of the Church’s involvement in economic life. It shows the prophetic-critical function as the Church’s proper function in the sphere of economic life, next the most important principles worked out by the Church’s social teaching on which it should be based, and finally the special role of lay Catholics in the field of economic life.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/życie gospodarczezasady życia gospodarczegokatolicy świeccyfunkcja profetyczno-krytyczna Kościołafunkcja profetyczna Kościołafunkcja profetycznafunkcja krytyczna Kościołafunkcja krytycznaKościółgospodarkaeconomic lifeprinciples of economic lifelay CatholicsChurch’s prophetic-critical functionChurch's prophetic functionprophetic functionChurch's critical functioncritical functionChurcheconomyobecnośćpresenceArticle
