Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: In the modern world it is easy to notice numerous alarming threats to social life in all its dimensions. These threats cause moral disintegration of the person and, consequently, lead to destruction of the society. Pope Benedict XVI was aware of this and - as a result - in his teaching he presented directions for solving specific socio-moral dilemmas. He translated them into the language of the concrete, suggesting practical principles for implementing the social teaching of the Church. Trying to overcome evil, he pointed to Christ, who strengthens human hearts to overcome the threats, inspired by action of the evil spirit. He made us realize that the person who followed the teachings of Christ is the hope for solving urgent global problems.
