• Title:
  The moral teaching of the Catholic Church in the dialog with the modern culture
• Creator:
  Zadykowicz, Tadeusz
• Description:
  Any catechism’s goal is to present faith in clear and complete way, using language understandable for common people of given time and culture. It has to enter a kind of dialog with modern man and his culture, to serve effectively and bring fruits in faith and moral life. The same is true to the Catechism of Catholic Church, announced by John Paul II. It also has its cultural foundations. One can see them both in goals and means alike, as well as ways of presentation of the deposit of faith. The editors goal was to present the Magisterial teaching in the most clear way. The method is not to condemn errors of present time, together with controversies and apologetics, but to present the truths of the faith and moral issues in the most positive way, knowing the specifics of the recipient, influenced by various cultural currents and tendencies, which are not very friendly to the faith and life built on it. Obviously, the present situation has its impact on the way the problems are presented in the Catechism. The cultural foundations can be recognized, where anthropological progress, technical knowledge and social changes are taken into account, considered as challenges. One can see them where new issues are brought up, and where old ones are interpreted in a new way. The Catechism does not have any specific part focused on modern culture description, however it expresses its attitude toward present religions, sciences, philosophies or political systems describing both man’s relationship with God, as well as his life in human society. Looking from the perspective of twenty years since the Catechism was signed, it can be said, that it became in important element of cultural dialog of the Church. Due to the rapid changes in the culture, the significance of faithfulness to the spirit of the Catechism must be recognized, in the same time leading to on-going analyses and constant adaptation, not in contents, but in manner of presentation of the faith and moral issues.   ;

  Zadaniem każdego katechizmu jest przedstawić wiarę w sposób jasny i komplementarny, przy zastosowaniu zrozumiałego w danym czasie i kulturze dla wszystkich języka. Treść ta musi wejść w pewien rodzaj dialogu ze współczesnym człowiekiem jak i kulturą, aby efektywnie służyć i przynosić owoce wiary i życia moralnego. Taka sama prawda dotyczy Katechizmu Kościoła Katolickiego ogłoszonego przez Jana Pawła II, który ma swoje oparcie także we współczesnej kulturze. Można je dostrzec zarówno w celach, środkach, jak i sposobach prezentacji depozytu wiary. Zamiarem redaktorów było ukazać nauczanie Magisterium w możliwie najbardziej przystępny sposób. Metodą nie jest potępianie błędów doby współczesnej, zgodnie z apologetyką, ale przedstawianie prawd wiary i moralności w najbardziej pozytywny sposób, biorąc pod uwagę specyfikę adresata, będącego pod wpływem wielu różnych prądów i tendencji, które niekoniecznie są przyjazne wierze i życiu na niej opartemu. Jest rzeczą wiadomą, że obecna sytuacja ma wpływ na sposób prezentacji problemów w Katechizmie. Kulturowe podstawy mogą zostać dostrzeżone tam, gdzie bierze się pod uwagę postęp antropologiczny, wiedzę techniczną jak i zmiany społeczne uznane za wyzwanie. Można je zauważyć, gdy nowe rzeczy są poruszane, i gdzie stare rzeczy są interpretowane w nowy sposób. Katechizm nie dedykuje żadnej ze swych części wyłącznie zagadnieniom kultury współczesnej, chociaż wyraża jej stosunek do współczesnych religii, nauki, prądów filozoficznych czy też systemów politycznych opisujących zarówno relację człowieka do Boga, jak i jego życie w społeczeństwie. Patrząc z perspektywy dwudziestu lat od dnia podpisania Katechizmu można powiedzieć, że stał się ważnym elementem dialogu kulturowego Kościoła. Z powodu szybkich zmian zachodzących w kulturze należy podkreślić znaczenie wierności duchowi Katechizmu, jednocześnie prowadzącej do nieustannych analiz i ciągłych adaptacji, nie w kontekście treści, ale w sposobie prezentacji wiary i zagadnień moralnych.
