The article deals with the document of International Theological Commission 'Communion and Stewardship' in its first and second parts. The focus is on the relationality of human beings. It is founded on the theology of creation of men in God's image and after his likeness. The image of God is the Son of God. The three natural polarities of human beings, man and woman, soul and body, person and society, are shown as a fundamental structure in which human freedom should develop. This developing was broken by the original sin, which has its core in the will to decide what is good and what is evil without any references. The consequence for human beings is damage of human nature in a double sense: to be curved in self (Augustine) and not to be able to stay with self (Origen). Redemption is like liberation of the freedom for God and growing up to the likeness of God under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

In the history of humanity, situations had arisen when the dependence of human beings on nature went through great changes, and nature became dependent on human beings. This induces a completely new situation of responsibility of human beings for life on the Earth. The Christian ethics coming out of Christology and eschatology points to the fact that from its beginning the created world is intended to be the house of the common dwelling and life of divine and human persons. In this, the most profound grounds of responsibility for this world are found.

The author pays attention to two aspects of the document of the International Theological Commission 'Communion and Stewardship'. The first one refers to a radical refusal of dualism, which brings up some questions both about the theological concept of the origin of a human being and of the further use of Augustine's psychological trinitarian theory. The second aspect is mariological implications of some statements in the document.

Human persons were created in the image of God in order to enjoy personal communion with the triune God, and in order to exercise responsible stewardship of the universe. Responsible stewardship requires a deep respect for a person as an image of God. The creation of the world ex nihilo is the action of a personal God and the immediate creation of each human soul is the proof of a deep and intimate relationship of God with each human being. The ethical questions of organ transplants, surgery associated with mutilation, reproductive medicine, genetic engineering, gene therapy, human cloning, embryonic stem cells, futile therapy, euthanasia and assisted suicide must be resolved through the use of principles of totality and integrity, the principle of double effects, and the principle of proportionality. Human beings are called to participate in divine creativity while acknowledging their position as creatures.

'Communion and Stewardship', published by the International Theological Commission in 2004, expresses for the first time a standpoint of the Church to sex reassignment surgery as a therapy for persons suffering from gender identity disorder. The paper defends the importance of body for the unity of human beings. However, it admits with respect to the whole tradition an intervention for adequate reasons. It distinguishes between functioning and essential totality, and comes to the conclusion that gender identity disorder is not a sufficient reason for a deep and irreversible intervention into the body integrity by hormonal surgical reassignment (HSR). The discussion on the basis of the art. 86 will probably be focused on the question whether it is allowed to use the above mentioned therapy for preserving mental health and improving relationships with others. The author of this article tries to answer this question by means of interviews with catholic transsexuals.

The question of constituting the status of human existence leads to its mysterious nature. Not any rationality can comply with this question. Along with H. U. von Balthasar, the basic question of the human existence foundation is formulated as an open one in multiple dimensions: religious beliefs of Ancient India and Greece, tragic struggle in German mythologies, and biblical concept of Christian existence. Along with H. de Lubac, the second part analyses the humanistic concept of human existence, which results in atheistic humanism. In the last part with W. Kasper, we reveal the elementary status of the question of the human in its Christological designation in three steps: a) Christology assumes a relatively independent anthropology; b) Christology presents a basic measure for anthropology; c) Christology brings into anthropology an essential status.

The first part of the third chapter of the document 'Communion and Stewardship', entitled 'The Image of God: The Administrator of the Visible Creation', is briefly presented and critically analyzed. Science and technology as a form of knowledge and administration of the creation by man should be seen as service to God and to his plan for the whole of creation. Theories on the origin of the universe and of man attract the interest of theology as concerns the theological doctrine on creation of the universe from nothing and of man to the image of God. The creation of each human soul by God is a basis for the relationship between God and each human person from the very beginning of its existence. God is not only the universal cause of creation, but He is also the cause of secondary created causes including man, so that these causes achieve their effects due to the action of this First Cause. Theology cannot decide whether the process of evolution in nature is accidental or intentional, nevertheless it calls attention to the fact that divine providence could achieve its goals in any casual way. From the theological point of view, such a process of evolution that would be beyond divine providence is not possible at all. According to John Paul II, the origin of the first human beings represents in the process of evolution an 'ontological jump' that should be ascribed to the intervention of God. On the other hand, this view can hardly avoid a certain type of dualism dividing the human soul and body while the Holy Scripture underlines the unity of both.
