The article reflects the argumentation, content and presentation of the positions of Christian ethics, or more precisely, the Magisterium's positions on marriage and family, in the context of societal trends, challenges and confrontations. The article primarily emphasizes the conciliar paradigm with its openness to dialogue with the world and perceptiveness of the needs of contemporary man. This paradigm introduced a new concept of the marriage and family. The article attempts to demonstrate that Pope Francis has updated the conciliar paradigm. The Pope holds the position that the Church should be close to people in their life situations and that the message of the Church should be comprehensible and attainable.
The article reflects on the phenomenon of migration as the basis of the current social‑political conflict. Its aim is (above all) to point out the inspirational and critical importance of the social teaching of the Church on this current issue. It focuses on the two key moments contained in this teaching, which also appear to be pivotal within the socio-political discourse in relation to migration. It is a question of the relevance of the cosmopolitan principle, respectively the question of political decision‑making on a transnational level. The article also provides a partial view of the role and the importance of the Church and individual Christians as the witnesses to the issue, i.e. the confrontation of the migration phenomenon in the context of growing urbanization.
