Relektura Humanae vitae w świetle niektórych faktorów moralności objawionej

Abstract

The article analyzes the encyclical Humanae vitae with the help of the factors of revealed morality contained in the document of the Pontifical Biblical Commission The Bible and the morality. Biblical roots of Christian conduct. These include: the structure of revealed morality: the gift-response/task/law, the gift of creation, the gift of the Covenant, the gift of forgiveness and the final goal. And also the methodological criteria guaranteeing the biblical correctness of moral reflection: two fundamental criteria (conformity with the biblical view of human nature and conformity with the example of Jesus), and six specific ones (convergence, contrast, advance, community dimension, finality and discernment). The analysis serves to define the relation of Humanae vitae to revealed morality and it is the theological re-reading of the encyclical, asking the question about its theological and moral truth.
