Preferential Option for the Family A Response of the Church in Poland to the Progressive Process of Secularisation

Summary/Abstract: The article asks how the Church can respond to the challenge of secularisation and counterits effects. At the same time, it is assumed that secularisation is not an inevitable phenomenon that onemust surrender to by adapting to the current situation. Still, it is possible to develop an appropriate re-sponse to this phenomenon. The most appropriate response is prioritising the pastoral care of marriageand family. To this end, an analysis of the Church’s teaching and theological studies was carried out toshow their potential, expressed primarily in the sacrament of marriage and the phenomenon of domesticChurch. The Church’s strategy in the face of secularisation processes should be focused on discoveringthe richness of the sacrament of marriage and supporting families in the complex process of becominga domestic Church. Other pastoral activities of the Church should be adapted and focused on this strat-egy, because by strengthening the family as the domestic Church, they become more effective.
