Sobór Watykański II przyniósł nowa dynamikę, ukierunkowując Kościół na małżeństwo i rodzinę. Jan Paweł II często przedstawiał zagadnienia związane z małżeństwem i rodziną w swoich przemówieniach, katechezach i dokumentach, wzmacniając nie tylko teologię rodziny, ale także troskę pastoralną małżeństwa i rodziny. Papież rozbudował wizję formacji przygotowującej do małżeństwa i rodziny jako szczególnej wspólnoty. Całe życie tej wspólnoty jest bowiem oparte na sakramentalnym znaczeniu rodziny, zatem otrzymuje szczególny rodzaj uświęcenia. Ludzka miłość, a zwłaszcza miłość małżeńska i rodzinna, przedłuża miłość Boga. Rodzice są przeznaczeni do udzielania swoim dzieciom nie tylko daru życia, ale także daru wiary. Jan Paweł II obiektywnie patrzył na sytuację i rolę rodziny, dlatego w swoim nauczaniu wskazywał sposoby wzmacniania rodzin niszczonych przez cywilizację śmierci.

The Second Vatican Council brought a new dynamism in directing the Church towards marriage and family. After Vatican II John Paul II frequently has presented family issues in his speeches, catechesis and written documents supporting not only the theology of family, but also the pastoral care of marriage and family. Pope has developed a vision of the formation towards marriage and family as a special type of “community”. The whole life of this “community” is based upon the sacramental meaning of the family, and therefore receives a special consecration. Human love, especially love in marriage and family prolongs God’s love. Parents are commissioned by God to give their children not only the gift of life, but also the gift of faith. John Paul II objectively looked at the situation and role of the family, so in his teaching he has been pointing ways of strengthening families being destroyed by death civilization.
Kościół, jak i sama rodzina, współcześnie coraz lepiej odkrywają prawdę o tym, że to właśnie rodzina, jako domowy Kościół, jest nie tylko przedmiotem, ale i podmiotem wychowania i katechezy. Mówi się więc już coraz wyraźniej o rodzinnej katechezie, uświadamiając sobie coraz lepiej sprawę, że to właśnie rodzice są pierwszymi wychowawcami i katechetami swoich dzieci. Dysponują oni sobie właściwymi środkami do tego stopnia, że wychowanie i katecheza domowa wcale nie muszą kopiować katechezy parafialnej. Podstawowym jej czynnikiem jest atmosfera szczerości i zaufania oraz świadectwo wiary dawane każdego dnia. Rola rodziców w tej dziedzinie jest niezastąpiona. Dlatego z tych między innymi powodów w niniejszym artykule zostało podjęte zagadnienie dzieła wychowania, które dokonuje się w podstawowym środowisku wychowawczym, jakim jest rodzina. Najpierw po zaprezentowaniu dzisiejszych wyzwań stojących przed rodziną zostało przedstawione odniesienie do katechumenatu rodzinnego, a następnie omówione wychowanie dokonujące się w rodzinie. Całość została ukazana w perspektywie historycznej.
At the turn of the 21st century, the ethical boundaries have been demolished in a dramatic way, especially in reference to the broadly understood human sexuality. An intensively promoted materialist anthropology connected to the reductive vision of human sexuality and sexual life, has created the foundation for anew ideology. Gender theory finds itself well in the postmodernist context, where multi-dimensional determinist conditioning, relativism and temporality of all human intellectual property are highlighted. The Traditional categories as femininity, masculinity, and heterosexuality were rejected and treated as mere archaic stereotypes. According to gender ideologists, in order to prevent discrimination one has to finally start the deconstruction of a patriarchal regime and replace it with anew, egocentric and hedonistic culture. The author of this article presents new challenges for the Catholic vision of the vocation of women and men highlighting the deconstruction of the biological sex, a new anthropology and the far-going transformations in the consciousness, social, cultural and political activity on an international scale.
The teaching of the Second Vatican Council develops an understanding of the Church as an integral entirety, present in the world and operating in accordance with its nature and purpose. Every personal commitment of a lay faithful, every effort made and each achievement has an impact on others and the whole Church. However, the commitment of adult Catholics to the world requires their appropriate preparation. Therefore, this article will first present the ecclesiological foundations of the lay faithful’s earthly commitment, and then, the process of their preparation, taking into consideration their personal and religious development. Finally it will also explore the meaning of the community as the place of their permanent formation.
