Abstract
The universal crisis of values, which has gripped contemporarv
civilization, has not spared the basic cell of human society - the
familv. Neither Croatian familv has remaind immune to the offers of
modern civilization. Contemporarv democratic movements have
enabled objective scientific researches of the essential values on
which modern societv still rests. Many of these values are the heritage of religion and Church. What ideas have been found on the basis of objective and thorough investigation within the franmework of the International Value Researches (EVS) to which the Catholic
Theological Faculty in Zagreb joined very responsibly and
successfuly? Which values are in the closest connection with marriage
and family? What does Church expect from the family? What is the
value of the institution of marriage like? What is the position and role
of adolescnts in society and family? We have tried to give the priests,
particularly the pastoral priests, the most tangible directions for
successful work in the pastoral of marriage and family.
