Abstract
The upbringing of the child was the subject of numerous statements by Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski. In this regard, he distinguished three basic communities which had not only rights but above all specific duties in the area of child-raising, namely the family and the State – as communities in the natural order, and the Church, that is, a community in the supernatural order. He called these societies “educational authorities” and emphasized the necessity of their mutual cooperation in the service of every human being.
