The human being is a person from the moment of conception to the natural death and because of that he or she acquires the right to the affirmation of the human dignity at every stage of his or her life. Taking care of the terminally ill people who are in the last stage of their lives has been practised for centuries. This is due to the love of another human being and the desire to provide a widely understood support in the last moments of their life. However, the contact with a person who is about to end his or her life is undoubtedly a very difficult experience which requires extraordinary sensitivity, empathy and, above all, an integral understanding of what the human being is. Any kind of a simplified and reduced approach towards a person hinders or completely prevents the whole affirmation of the human dignity and, as a result, renders a proper care for a person who is totally dependent on other people much more difficult. The integral understanding of the human nature guarantees accurate approach to him or her at every stage of their life, especially during the terminal illness and it should perceive the human being as an entity of the body and the soul as well as an individual in a relationship with other people or the society. However, it seems that it is important, especially in palliative care, to affirm a person in his or her complexity of the natural and the supernatural dimension (mutual complementation of nature and grace) as well as the earthly and the eternal life (from the eschatological point of view). In this way the palliative care is not limited just to the somatic or psychological dimensions but it also deals with other dimensions that are extremely important from the angle of the borderline experience of life and death.

The central position of the person in the community life determines the personalist character of the society. Therefore, one cannot account for the specificity of the life within a society ignoring the holistic understanding of the human being. Among all the human communities mentioned by the Catechism of the Catholic Church it is the political community which places the individual human person in the centre of it. The objective of this paper is to present the relationship between preserving the indelible integrity of the human dignity and the efficiency of the successful fulfilment of the tasks which the political community is up to. The article is divided into three chapters. The first one deals with scriptural references relevant to the topic of the political community which the authors of the Catechism quote. The second chapter outlines the key elements of the Catechism’s concept of the political community. The final chapter characterises the Christian democracy as such a political regime that provides the best protection of the dignity of the human person as well as the human rights. The teaching of the Catechism of the Catholic Church serves as a kind of a reminder that to prefer the care for the good of a person in the framework of the political community means to build the Kingdom of God. The man who remains faithful to the divine precepts transforms the world into a more humane one.
