Wpływ religijności narzeczonych na poglądy dotyczące regulacji poczęć i przerywania ciąży

Abstract

The main purpose of marriage ought to be active love, in other words, procreation- oriented fertile love. One notices, however, that the moral and social norms regarding this issue have presently undergone a far-reaching process of individualisation, as a result of which sexual functions have been separated from parental-reproductive ones. The following article sets out to present certain changes in the mentality of young people who are soon to be married with regard to conception control and abortion. The position of the Catholic Church on these matters is not acknowledged and frequently questioned by engaged couples. The sociological analysis shows that the moral consciousness of the Polish youth is undergoing a slow process of secularisation.
