Rola Kościoła katolickiego w kształtowaniu cywilizacji łacińskiej
The Role of the Catholic Church in the Shaping of Latin Civilization

Summary/Abstract: According to Feliks Koneczny, culture-forming and upbringing activities of the Catholic Church made the most significant impact on the Latin civilization. In the Catholic Church teachings every man is considered a worth while good (bonum honestum) by the virtue of his personal nature. Church’s personalistic influence on the formation of Latin Europe embraced all human activities. Koneczny has categorized them as five domains of human life: ethics (morality) and science (spiritual dimension), health and prosperity (material dimension) and beauty (spiritual – material dimension). In such way the overall personalistic human reality has been reflected by the Latin civilization. Among all current civilizations, the Latin one is the only that thoroughly affects personal human development. It does so by the classical theory of person, which is contained in the Latin quincunx.
