Abstract | Između suvremenog poimanja ljudske seksualnosti i kršćanskog poimanja seksualnosti, postoji veliki raskorak koji je uočljiv i iz zdravorazumske perspektive. Današnja teologija ljudsku spolnost shvaća kao sveobuhvatnu, temeljnu sastavnicu čovjekove osobnosti. S druge pak strane svijet ljudsku seksualnost gleda kao nešto potrošno, svodeći ju samo na najnižu razinu, na užitak. Suvremeni način življenja spolnosti zapravo je pokazatelj dubokih praznina u osobnim vrednotama. Krepost čistoće seksualnost ponovno stavlja u službu vrednota. Pomaže čovjeku da ovlada vlastitom požudom te spolnost stavlja u službu osobe. Na putu izgradnje, krepost čistoće čuva osobu od opasnosti sebičnosti, otkriva dostojanstvo ljudskoga tijela i uči ga posjedovati u svetosti i poštovanju. U konačnici, krepost čistoće pomaže osobi vratiti narušenu sliku spolnosti, slobode darivanja i istinu o ljubavi. U prvom poglavlju rada na temelju nekoliko istraživanja zaključeno je kako vjera i religioznost utječu na odabir istinitih ljudskih vrednota, kako spolna ravnoteža velikim dijelom proizlazi iz življenja tradicionalnih moralnih stavova te da na ispravno spolno ponašanje pozitivno utječe stupanj religioznosti. U drugom poglavlju rada donijet će se kršćanski vid ljudske spolnosti u svjetlu 'Teologije tijela' Ivana Pavla II. s posebnim osvrtom na krepost čistoće. Na kraju rada dano je nekoliko smjernica o odgoju mlade osobe za krepost čistoće, a time ujedno i njezine spolnosti. |
Abstract (english) | There is a humungous gap between Christian beliefs regarding human sexuality and the contemporary one, which can already be noticed by our bare common sense perspective. Theology nowadays considers human sexuality as all-gathering, elementary feature of one's personality. On the other hand, though, it is believed in the world that human sexuality is rather consumable, being restricted to its lowest form, i.e. pleasure. Contemporary human sexuality is actually the evidence of deep emptiness regarding one's personal values. Sexuality presents the virtue of purity as the one that serves values. On the way of its development, the virtue of purity guards an individual from a dangerous selfishness. Moreover, it reveals the dignity of purity by increasing the awareness of a human body and learns how to keep it in sanctity and respect. Finally, the virtue of purity helps one to rebuild the distorted image of sexuality, freedom of giving and the truth about love. In the first part of this paper, which is based on a several researches, will be concluded that faith and religion influence the choice of values, and that sexual balance is mainly derived from traditional morally sound perspectives, and also that the level of religion positively impacts on one's sexual behavior. In the second part of the paper, the Christian perspective of human sexuality, influenced by Theology of body by John Paul II, with an additional review of the virtue of purity will thoroughly be analyzed. Some instructions regarding raising a young human being in a virtue of purity, as well in its sexuality, are given in the end. |
