OBECNA WARTOŚĆ SOLIDARNOŚCI MIĘDZYLUDZKIEJ W ŚWIETLE MYŚLI MĘCZENNIKA KOMUNIZMU – BŁ. KS. JERZEGO POPIEŁUSZKI
THE PRESENT VALUE OF THE SOLIDARITY OF INTERMEDIATE IN THE LIGHT OF THOUGHT THE “MARTYR OF COMMUNISM” – BLESSED FATHER JERZY POPIELUSZKO

Summary/Abstract: Blessed Father Jerzy Popieluszko and the sermons he gave during the famous “Mass. for the Homeland”, the history of the Church in Poland are permanently inscribed. In his teaching, he defended and appealed for the concern of basic values for man and society (truth, freedom, justice, love, fortitude, Homeland). Among the many topics and values that appear in “zoliborz teaching”, the place has also found its place − solidarity. It has dual meaning here as it refers to NSZZ “Solidarnosc” and to the concept of idea as a common good. Fr. Popieluszko solidarity defined as the unity of complex hearts in action towards the common good, the constant pursuit of the nation, the society for truth, justice and freedom. Contemporary society, man, is often accompanied by the loss of interpersonal links leading to selfish materialism, the rejection of the idea of solidarity. Therefore, in this light, the teaching of Fr. Popieluszko appears as still up-to-date. Appropriate approach to the idea of solidarity and its realization excludes exploitation from society, any oppression and annihilation of others, and the spirit of solidarity becomes the path to peace and the development of society. Solidarity becomes the cornerstone of the inner and outer peace of man and of the community. Solidarity cannot be considered as one of many grounds for human and social life, but as a foundation from which other principles spring up, as pointed out by Blessed Father Jerzy Popieluszko.
