The vocation to parenthood is a constitutive element of married and family life. However, recent decades show that the number of births in Poland is declining steadily. This, in turn, is leading to a decrease in population and population aging in our homeland. The current situation is called a demographic catastrophe, the consequences of which will be felt in the next decades. It is therefore necessary to take concrete steps to change this situation. The aims of this article are to try to describe the present demographic situation in Poland, to recall the main ideas of the teaching of the Catholic Church on the parental tasks of the family and society, and to identify the most important pastoral task, which the Church in Poland faces in this regard.

The aim of this article is to show pastoral tasks towards the family and marriage resulting from the teaching of the Church in the apostolic exhortation Amoris laetitia. Pope Francis focuses on the four main challenges of the pastoral care of the family: preparation for marriage, accompaniment to spouses, especially in the first years after the marriage, the marriage of survivors and difficulties, and the formation of pastors and secular family pastoral workers. The author of this article seeks to illustrate these pastoral tasks in the context of the entire study of the Church about marriage and the family in the modern world.

Anthropological bases of family studies. Marriage and family as its result are the most basic communities for any human being as well as any society. Therefore, the present crisis of marriage and family calls for some action. It is not enough to identify causes of that crisis. We need to draw up plans how to support the family both from the society and state institutions. To achieve this goal special Family Studies have been developed by various academic centers and a new scientific discipline called Familiology has emerged. However, the foundation of these studies on the proper anthropology is one of the most important issues. The human being should be recognized as subject and the family as a community which starts with matrimony understood as an inseparable union of a man and a woman. The Faculty of Social Sciences and Family Studies at the Pontifical Academy of Theology in Cracow follows the tradition of Academy which has always focused on Family, making it the most important object of its teaching, research and Christian spiritual formation.
