The question of divorce is treated as well as psychological aspects of love and education or the duty and features of good parents. Media, advertising and difficulties like the growing up of young people between their parents’ guidance and the identification within their peer groups. The main view comes from roman catholic perspective, portraying further aspects and persons of eastern culture (Poland’s Second Republic, Julian Michalec, Mikulas Russnak). In addition the editor also explains more protestant views and even includes a small study by Robert Nef on the relation of church and state.
