POLITYCZNE OBLICZE HUMANIZMU CHRZEŚCIJAŃSKIEGO W ASPEKCIE OBYWATELSKIEJ AKTYWNOŚCI WYBORCZEJ
Abstract
It is said that there are no black and white things in politics… They are all grey. Christian
humanism is doomed to this political greyness. It is immanently inscribed in general humanism on
the basis of the ethical imperatives of natural law. Nonetheless, it maintains its distinct Christian
character, as interpreted in the social teaching of the Catholic Church. Catholics’ political commitment
is an integral part of this humanism, defining politics as the prudent concern for the common
good. As such, Christians cannot abstain from participating in various types of political activity that
serve the growth of the common good. The imperative of such political commitment is firmly rooted
in the social principles defined by Catholic social teaching, which are based on Christian axiology.
Ultimately, the civic and electoral activity of Christians serves to verify the internalization of social
principles and political attitudes, strengthening or weakening the logo-forming dynamism of Christian
humanism in the socio-political space.
