Sažetak
The occurrence and the social issue of homosexuality is not something unheard of in Croatia. There have been attempts to regulate this issue within the framework of the Family Law as a result of public pressure. A separate legal solution was found. The new document of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Considerations, seeks to point out some familiar views, to stress some familiar values, and to serve as a reminder to the specific responsibilities of Catholic politicians. The exposition puts forward arguments based on common sense, natural law, and also includes of course biblical-theological principles. Marriage is not just any kind of union, or any kind of relationship between human beings. Same-sex relationships are contrary to nature and do not serve the common good. The legalization of such relationships jeopardizes the very foundations of the legal order. Believers who are involved in political life are to participate in the passing of laws in such a manner as to remain true to their Christian identity, which they must not renounce.
