Listening to sermons is getting more and more difficult for a contemporary man. This may be due to the growing discrepancy between language used and understood by listeners and the language of preachers. The language of sermons and homilies is the literary one in its normative-anddidactic form. The official teaching of the Church shows that a considerable importance is attributed to the verbal sphere of preaching. The language of preaching should be correct, esthetic and contemporary. Also, it should be adequate, which is congruent with the reality it describes. In the preaching of the Word of God the content is the most important. The form of the utterance should serve the content.

The divorce rate has increased in the United States and most European countries since the 1960s. Public and scientific concern about the consequences of divorce for adults and children has generated a large research literature. Most studies find that divorced adults experience more mental and physical health problems than do married adults. Similarly, most studies find that children with divorced parents experience more mental and physical health problems than do children with continuously married parents. Available research suggests that these associations are partly spurious (due to selection effects) and partly due to the stress associated with marital disruption. People's reactions to divorce are highly variable, with the speed and degree of adjustment depending on a variety of resources and post-divorce circumstances. In the United States, several types of court- and community-based programs appear to facilitate parents' and children's adjustment to divorce.

The aim of this two-wave study was to examine the mediating role of adolescent appraisals of family security in the relation between family instability and adolescent self-esteem in a sample of 377 adolescents and their mothers. Mothers' reports of family instability at Time 1 were significantly and positively associated with adolescent appraisals of family insecurity at Time 1 and Time 2. Adolescent self-esteem at Time 2 was significantly and negatively related to family instability at T1 and family insecurity at Time 1 and Time 2. Findings from structural equation models supported the hypothesis that family instability undermines adolescents' self-esteem one year later by directly threatening adolescents' appraisals of family as a safe and secure system. The results indicated that adolescent appraisals fully mediated the relation between family instability and adolescent self-esteem. The implications of the findings for adolescent development in a secure and stable family environment are discussed and suggestions for further process-oriented research on the relation between family instability and adolescent development are stated.

Attitudes of the adult population in Croatia on some of the issues in the field of marriage and sexuality are analysed in this paper. The aim was to explore the extent to which it is a dominantly Christian, specifically Catholic population in accordance with norms of traditional church morality in these issues, and if recent data show any changes in this respect. Based on previous research considering congruence with church moral norms in the field of sexuality and marriage, a general hypothesis on religious respondents as a heterogeneous group was set. This implies that a higher religiosity (observed through indicators of religious identification and practice) points to the lower permissiveness in attitudes toward sexuality and other issues in the area of marital relations. The paper used data from two studies: Social and Religious Change in Croatia (SRC) from 2004 and the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) module Religion from 2008/2009. The analysis showed that religious respondents are not a homogenous group, while an indicator of religious practice proved to be a consistent predictor of a greater chance that those respondents who regularly attend church for religious services are more traditional in attitudes about sexuality and marriage. However, the findings indicate the presence of a combination of traditional and modern values in the population of believers. In the context of socio-demographic and socio- -structural correlates, younger respondents, better educated, males and those in urban areas show a greater permissiveness in the investigated attitudes.
