Abstract

From the perspective of contemporary pedagogy, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński’s life, thought and teaching incorporate the tradition of development of the Church's social teaching and the field of Catholic pedagogy. He considered Catholic social teaching as an integral part of the Church's teaching about a man existing and working under a specific socio-economic and political reality. He put a particular man in the first place. Does Catholic upbringing matter today? - asked the Primate of the Millennium and pointed out the ideals of Catholic (integral) upbringing, covering: internal unity of upbringing; love of the truth and living in the truth and the need to unifying in love everything and everyone. He insisted that  life is the highest goodness of every human being. Just in the course of one's life a man shapes the full expression of personality. Nobody has been born a genius, a great scientist, a saint, but becomes one thanks to life. As a rational and autonomous being everyone develops in action and effort the everlasting, timeless virtues of goodness, truth and beauty.
