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.

Misja Kościoła w dzisiejszej Europie, podobnie jak w każdym czasie i we wszystkich miejscach, to głoszenie Ewangelii nadziei, która została mu przekazana przez Jezusa Chrystusa. Ten obowiązek określa jednocześnie tożsamość Kościoła i jego powołanie, by nauczał wszystkie narody, włączał ludzi w Mistyczne Ciało Chrystusa poprzez chrzest i uobecniał nieustannie Ofiarę, która jest pamiątką Jego śmierci i zmartwychwstania. Europa potrzebuje nowej ewangelizacji w związku z ogromnymi zmianami polityczno-społecznymi w ostatnich dekadach. Nowa ewangelizacja zakłada przepowiadania tajemnicy Chrystusa na podstawie świadectwa jedności Kościoła oraz szeroko pojęty dialog (ekumeniczny, międzyreligijny, kulturowy, społeczny). Służba Ewangelii nadziei powinna przejawiać się w posłudze miłosierdzia wobec najbardziej potrzebujących pod względem materialnym i duchowym. Kościół w Europie, służąc społeczeństwu, musi wiernie głosić prawdę o małżeństwie i rodzinie, broniąc cywilizacji życia i wskazując na najgłębsze wartości wypływające z Dekalogu.

The Mission of the Church in Europe today, as in all times and in all places, is the proclamation of the Gospel of hope, which has been given by Jesus Christ. This part specifies the identity of the Church and its vocation to teach all Nations, involve people in the Mystical Body of Christ trough baptism and make constantly present Eucharistic Sacrifice, which is a reminder of His Death and Resurrection. Europe needs a new evangelization in connection with huge political and social changes in recent decades. The new evangelization presupposes the preaching of the mystery of Christ based on the testimony of the unity of the Church and widely understood dialog (ecumenical, inter-religious, cultural, social). Serving the Gospel of hope should be manifested in the ministry of mercy to the most needy in terms of material and spiritual. The Church in Europe, serving the public, must faithfully proclaim the truth about marriage and the family, defending the civilization of life and pointing to the deepest values of the Decalogue.
