Towards a Civilization of Love: A Proposal of Social Church Teaching to the Modern World
Gaetano De Simone
Sažetak
The Church's social teaching has always stressed the importance of training and education, as witnessed by the teachings and documents of the Popes, such as Leo XIII, Paul VI, John Paul II and Benedict XVI. For a proper understanding of civic friendship it is important to truly respect the dignity of each person. In education and formation the family has an important and irreplaceable role. As emphasized by Benedict XVI, a true progress of mankind can be achieved only if the the centrality of the human person is recognized. Within education and formation the theme of gift should be emphasized in order so that within the dimension of relationality the growth of personality could be expressed. True and active Christian love stimulates the growth of personality. Therefore, every teacher should cultivate a love that should be the basis of his activities. Properly understood, learning is not limited to the deeper understanding of reality, but encourages service to humanity. The youth need help motivating them in their religious quest and openness to the transcendent. With education and knowledge-based economy, freedom of teaching, educational responsibility and the right to study are significant. Within the educational work one needs to start from young people and view percieve them with the eyes of Christ. Education should foster peace, democracy and interculturalism. Young people need help and empowerment in responsibly addressing the challenges of the meaning of life.
