Abstract
Marriage and the family are two of the most significant human institutions; without them, there would not be a human society or community. The Church recognizes “the great value of marriage and the family and their deepest meaning” (Familiaris Consortio -FC). However, in today’s world, the meaning of marriage and the family is constantly being redefined, or at least there is an attempt to give it a different definition. Consequently, understanding the institution of marriage and the family and how they are practiced is also undergoing certain modifications. Pope St. John Paul II, in the Familaris Consortio, noted that “the family in the modern world, as much as and perhaps more than any other institution, has been beset by the many profound and rapid changes that have affected society and culture.” Stressing that marriage is part of the divine plan (Theology of the Body), and the family as a domestic Church (Love and Responsibility), Karol Wojtyla/John Paul II has extensively and profoundly focused on marriage and family in his many writings – pre-pontifical and pontifical. At a time when these two divinely planned human institutions face many challenges and difficulties, it is important and critical to highlight their real meaning and value based on the thoughts of Karol Wojtyla/John Paul II.
These lectures will then focus on the thoughts or teachings of Karol Wojtyla/Pope St. John Paul II on the nature of marriage and family. The primary sources for these lectures are the Acting Person (Person and Act), Love and Responsibility, Familiaris Consortio, and the Theology of the Body.
