The concept and meaning of the family in the context of the deliberations of Blessed Father Michał Sopoćko

Elwira Kryńska

Abstrakt

Bishop Henryk Ciereszko recalls Father Michał Sopoćko who remained in the memory of „the clergy and the faithful of the archdiocese as a role model of a priest who was totally devoted to the service for God”. He was a zealous priest, theologian, pedagogue, social worker, the apostle of the truth, God’s servant, whose life was reflecting the process of growing to the Christian ideals and holiness of a priest. He recognised the truth about the man, about marriage and the family on the basis of the tradition of the thought of personalism and the Christian culture. He proved that raising marriage to the dignity of a sacrament  „Jesus proved his great mercy for the spouses and for the whole human community”.

In the time of the strong philosophical views, propaganda and ideologies which were opposing the national culture and the Christian culture as well as the nature of marriage and the family, it is necessary to read the work of Father Michał Sopoćko, devoted to the family as a Divine and human institution called: Rodzina w prawodawstwie na Ziemiach Polskich (Studium etyczno-prawne). [Family in the legislation on the Polish soil]

Father Michał Sopoćko indicated that without the family, without its concern for education and service for life, there is no development of the Church or of the nation. He not only saw the threats but he also warned in a detailed way on how to overcome various difficulties and crises in the spirit of faith but also what educational tasks should be implemented while facing the difficulties. He advised that any departures, vices or failures in the family should be treated as a result of secondary considerations, and not as the results of the nature of marriage. The nature of marriage indicates its monogamous nature and indissolubility. Therefore, the monogamous nature of marriage and its dissolubility and thus the permanence of the family and its essential establishment should be supported as, according to Father Michał Sopoćko, they directly influence the welfare of the society and of the people which, in the contemporary times of violent transformations in every sphere of life, are particularly desired.
