Abstract
The topic of responsible parenthood has not been sufficiently researched in Croatian
theological literature, unlike pedagogical literature wherein it has been given more
attention. Since the term ‘responsible parenthood’ is not interpreted in the same way
by these two sciences, the authors recognized the need to highlight more clearly the
theological–pedagogical perspectives by examining Pope Francis’ Post–Synodal Apostolic
Exhortation Amoris Laetitia — The Joy of Love. The theological perspective
stresses that responsible parenthood is based on human responsibility complemented
by a Christian conscience and offers it as such to pedagogy as a possibility. The first
four sections of the paper cover an analysis of the document Amoris Laetitia while
the fifth section presents responsible parenthood from the perspective of contemporary
pedagogical science.
