Summary/Abstract: The work deals with the interesting journey behind the creation of Pastoral Constitution Gaudium et Spes. Joy and hope that, except during the Second Vatican Council, continue to be the subject of discussion of those who see that for its type (pastoral direction) it should not carry the title constitution, and on the other side, there is a multitude of those who see precisely Gaudium et Spes as the key for the interpretation of the Second Vatican Council. Across six topics, the work analyzes the context of creation (I), provides an overview of the contents of this Pastoral Constitution (II), presents basic themes and also dilemmas when it comes to the composition of the Constitution (III), brings different opinions about it (IV), as well as its impact after the Council (V), and finally the expressed complaints (VI). The work inclines to those who see the Pastoral Constitution Gaudium et Spes as one that has greatly directed the activities and the opening of the Church in the twentieth century.
