The author undertakes the philosophical problem of the role that should be performed in human life by material goods (means of subsistence), which are produced by human beings, and by which a person is able to live and perfect herself or himself. This phenomenon is extremely important considering the many transformations that are occurring before our eyes in the domain of economic production. All of these events are symbolized by the replacement of classical economics with a contemporary understanding of the economy. These changes are accompanied by many important transformations in culture, the life of family, society, and the state and these changes are affecting the global world as well. But above all, these changes affect usually with negative results human life itself. The existence of the so-called ‘civilization of death: is a proof of this. Therefore, a concern for a proper understanding and running of the sphere of the human production of material goods becomes indispensable. A particular task in this domain belongs to realistic philosophy, which has at its disposal the appropriate means to recognize and explain reality, and is able to supply the contemporary man with an integral conception of the human life, including how life is connected with producing material goods, i.e. the means of living.

The author of the article examines some of the issues concerning the ethical and pastoral challenges arising from demographic changes. In face of these changes the Church adopts, through the Pontifical Council for the Family, a clear and considered stance. Demographic problems have at their roots the whole issue of ethics, and as such have a serious impact on the wide array of social and political matters, like education, job markets, economy and culture. Falling birth rates are of concern in almost every European country and society. The biggest threat is that of fertility rates falling below replacement level. Hence the urgency of putting in place effective pro-family policies. Since demographics is inextricably linked to ethics, it is only natural that the Church perceives it as her field of pastoral engagement. The Church not only postulates the need for a dialogue encompassing all strata of society, but she brings to that dialogue very concrete proposals concerning pro-family activities, like fostering development of the families, advocating the right of parents to bring up their children, or aiding families in material needs. Joint efforts of the Church and other competent institutions, especially those which are in a position to exercise effective influence on cultural changes and economic situation of families, may bring about defeat of today’s threats.

John Paul II could be rightly called the ‘Admirer of life’. His deep faith, along with the existential reasons, the sources of which could be traced back to his traumatic experiences during the Second World War, moulded him into a strong defender of human life. The Pope teaches that a civilization’s worth is determined by its attitude towards human life; it is either the civilization of life, or the destructive civilization of death. Since body constitutes an integral part of the whole human person, its dignity is enhanced. In his ‘theology of the body’ John Paul II stressed not only the sharing of the body in the dignity of the person, but also its importance as a sign and a needle in the compass of the human intellect in its search for moral norms. The Polish Pope insisted on the value of human life from its inception to natural death, and often presented various ruling elites with a challenge: Life is sacrosanct and this truth must be reflected in legislation. Human life is, according to John Paul II, the penultimate things; life is limited, mortal. The value of human life is determined by its destination: the human being is to find his fulfillment in eternity, where he will have a share in the everlasting life. Thirty years after the elevation of Karol Wojtyla to the Holy See we may confidently give him the credit for influencing the change in sensitivity to human life on a truly global scale. Though the contrary tendencies are very strong, thanks to the Polish Pope the impact of the culture of death has been significantly restricted.
