Abstract

The new political and social situation after 1989 in Poland brought challenges requiring reflection and action by the Church. Apart from the positive effects of the transformation, gaining freedom and democratic freedoms, there appeared at the same time destructive and demoralising phenomena. Negative effects have primarily affected the family - the foundation of every society and nation. The description of pastoral plans concerning marriages and families contained in the documents of the Church in Poland shows the care and scope of efforts in this area. The teaching of Stefan Cardinal Wyszyński on marriage and family is an important point of reference. The message addressed to families and to all preachers of the gospel remains valid and unchanged in its purpose, assumes greater specialization and complexity of education and pastoral actions. The Church invariably points to a correct conception of the family and reminds us of its fundamental value.
