Znamiona przesłania społeczno-moralnego Jana Pawła II
Hallmarks of socio-moral message of John Paul II

Summary/Abstract: The civilization of love is integral, anthropocentric and conceivable in order to explore more entirely visions of a “new world”. The moral and religious expression of man’s life discovers in this image its profound harmony in the personal structure built on the plan of real interpretation of the fact of humanity. The fundamental expression of this is the priority of the person over things. Today there is a great danger of not noticing this truth. However there is also a need to recognize the priority of ethics over technology, because the achievements in this area seem to suggest that everything that is plausible should have the possibility of implementation. The fundamental sign for the civilization of love is the primacy of “essere” over “avere”. “Essere” before “avere” affects human and cultural expectations that are unfortunately denied by materialism, trends in the economy and consumerism. Only Christianity as the first showed the primacy of charity over justice, drawing on the truth of God revealed in Christ. It is a principle which places great demands in life, especially in interpersonal relationships. This is one of the most human principles, which bears witness to personal greatness of each man. The civilization of love remains as a challenge for today’s Europe, which seems to reject and abandon values departing from its roots.
