Summary/Abstract: Making Catholic theology a part of the people’s and nations’ lives is initiated by the mission and evangelisation activity of the Church. Then human existence begins to be subject to conscious interpretation from the point of view of Christianity and becomes open to the character of this narration. Kossak describes essential elements of preaching the Good News that are in a unique way related to the human nature and culture. The most important of them are the language and the national identity as well as the social significance of sexes. This includes respect for woman’s dignity and defence of her rights, equal to man’s rights, as well as the pattern of chivalry, instilled before the ages and present even today, as the universal and commonly applicable rule of conduct and of being a male where God, honour and Motherland are priorities followed thanks to the faith, manhood and respect for the truth.
