Polityka uprawiana po chrześcijańsku

Politics can fulfill its mission only if it's work of building and improving the new world will be based on the strong foundations, which guarantee proper understanding of the good. It is a about human good, especially the common good. This common good deter¬mines the final justification of improving or building the world. These presented reflections focus on an issue of whether and how can this improvement of the temporal reality, be revived by the spirit of the Gospel? Good is the integral part of politics. Politics, according to its ethical approach, can be defined as a prudent concern for the common good. However, a Christian involved in politics should have an awa¬reness that the common good, a basic category of politics, is not confined to the temporal reality. It is as well transcendental, spi¬ritual and supernatural. It finds it's ultimate explanation in personal human good. The good of a human being is expressed by the quality of relationship between man and Creator, as well as in his vocation to the eternal happiness, and in his communion with the Triune God. Prudent concern for this good determines the most important sense of the politics conducted in a Christian spirit. It makes that involvement in the political sphere becomes a selfless service to the human being and society. In this perspective, as a matter of priority must be considered a necessity to properly discern the themes of Christian presence in politics. The criteria for political involvement of Christians are also important in this matter. The discernment of these criteria largely depends on the political sense, which as such, is shared by all people. These are the basic ideas presented in this article. Their objective is to identify the qualified nature as well as the necessity of politics conducted in a Christian way.
