Summary/Abstract: Social problems are defined, inter alia, through social resonance arousing in society or being identified by charismatic individuals. In the 80s of the twentieth century, such an individual was Rev. Jerzy Popieluszko. His sermons arouse awareness of the existence of certain problems which should have been faced by the government. Some of those problems were related to families. They fall into three categories: violation of ethical principles, political and economic problems, and social problems. The text analyzes Jerzy Popieluszko’s speeches, emphasising the problems of families and being categorised by him as: breaking the axiological system. Those problems stemmed from the disrespect for human dignity, injustice, lack of freedom and hypocrisy.
