Upbringing in a Catholic family. Reflexion against the background of the exhortations of Familiaris consortio and Amoris laetitia

Abstract

Upbringing is part of human nature. It is a great piece of art. It requires not only specialized knowledge and a pedagogical gift but also emotional bonds between a parent and the person who is being educated. People responsible for upbringing should remember that upbringing is not only achieved through words but also the testimony of life. Reflection against the background of the exhortations Familiaris consortio and Amoris laetitia is to draw attention to the difficulties faced by modern families in raising the young generation. The author draws attention to the role of the Church regarding the upbringing of contemporary youth. Valuable comments and advice can be found in the teachings of Saint John Paul II and Pope Francis. The method of critical text analysis, comparative method and positive lecture were used in the work.
