Contemporary attacks on the institution of marriage and family

Alojzy Drożdż

Abstract

One of the features of the anticulture, which may be observed today, are attacks on marriage and family. Their point is to negate the institution of family and possibly destroy it. The article presents main sources of these destructive influences. The content of the first section shows some misleading philosophies of the human being and utopian ideas which are devastating the family. The article discusses philosophical humanistic models. They include justification of the need of a proper formation to responsibility in personal and family life. Philosophical pragmatic models are also presented. Mainly they do not concern the needs of family life and they do not try to hamper directly its development. The second paragraph describes the attacks on family and marriage focusing on deformation and legal manipulation. The content of the third paragraph are the media. They are also able to cause a serious harm to family by showing improper or even distorted vision of life, religion and morality. During the transmission of information it is needed to respect the truth and dignity of a human being. In the fourth paragraph the author presents the assaults on Christian upbringing. They are a part of the antipedagogy. They are also a manifestation of the attacks on Christianity. In Poland the same situation relates to the catholic family and upbringing.
