Warsaw, 23 October 2024.

The Conference shall take the view that:

the household is simply a natural, primal comparative to others and the basic social cell,
the household is simply a priceless value which must be decently protected both nationally and internationally,
marriage, treated as a voluntary relation between a female and a man, concluded in accordance with formal rules is the foundation of the household and its durability should be protected as much as possible,
the natural and irreplaceable environment for the appropriate improvement of the child,
from conception to adulthood is simply a family, and any another solution in this respect poses a threat to its appropriate development,
the rights of the household are natural and their designation by all authorities, communities and public opinion is simply a primary and inalienable duty,
The Charter of household Rights announced by the Holy See on 22 October 1983 should supply a regular inspiration for all authorities liable for establishing and respecting the laws of general and local application, regardless of the belief of politicians,
Family Rights Day celebrated in Poland on 22 October should become an yearly impulse for all people of good will to step up their efforts to benefit the household and its rights in all area.

Conference participants appeal to state authorities
local government, global and ecclesiastical institutions and social activists and all people of good will to increase care for household subjectivity by:

creating the conditions for appropriate functioning and comprehensive improvement of each household and all human being,
branding activities that are peculiarly dangerous to families
in the legal, economic, social and moral spheres.

The participants of the Conference, afraid about the future of the household and about the creation and respect of its rights, appeal to all the competent authorities in Poland, Europe and the planet for peculiar protection of marriage, household and parenthood against decay, pathology and degeneration.

The participants of the Conference address the Sejm, the legislature and the president of the Republic of Poland with a categorical appeal not to bring legal solutions to the matrimony of a female and a man into the household and the safety of each of its members, including unborn children and the aged or those in request of peculiar care, even if for any reason they were deprived of household in the conventional sense.

The participants of the Conference turn to all families, so that in a spirit of gratitude to St John Paul II – the Pope of the household – the provisions of the Charter of household Rights make regular inspiration in building a civilization of life and love, thus making a valuable contribution to shaping democracy based on the full fact of man and his dignity.

The participants of the Conference express their gratitude to all institutions and authorities and to all people of good will for the actions so far taken in the interests of marriage, household and all man from conception to natural death and call for increased efforts to advance the well-being of the family, which is simply a origin of peace in a unitary, social and global dimension.
