Cywilizacja miłości i prawdy w nauczaniu papieży Pawła VI i Jana Pawła II

Journal Title: Sympozjum - Year 2015, Vol 28, Issue 1

Abstract

The issue of the Civilization of Love and Truth that appears in the teaching of the pope Paul VI and John Paul II is deeply rooted in the teaching of the Second Vatican Council. The pope Paul VI used for the first time the expression “the Civilization of Love” in 1970. He pointed at love as the principle of human relationship and underlined its imperative character. The Civilization of Love inspired by spirituality of the Sacred Heart of Jesus reveals the truth about God and human being. John Paul II was one of the promoters of the Civilization of Love. He described its main features based on the four principals: priority of person before things, ethics before technique, “to be” before “to have”, mercy before justice. Love plays the fundamental role in this civilization. It determines the shape of various communities: the community of marriage, family, educational and professional communities. The Civilization of Love constitutes the antithesis of the civilization of death. John Paul II addressed his words especially to young people. He asked them to develop an integral concept of human being and proper hierarchy of values in various fields of social life. In the reach teaching of the pope John Paul II the Civilization of Love is bound up with the cult of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
