The subject of democracy as a value is a reality that is embraced by many entities. John Paul II used to say that “Freedom is not given, it is a task.” The same can be said of democracy, which is not given once and for all, but is a task for us. Society must take care of democracy, but it must also ensure that the young generation is educated in this democracy. Education for democracy is essential. In this article I would like to look at the issues of education for democracy in the light of the social teaching of the Catholic Church. The goal is to show that the Catholic Social Teaching is promoting the democracy and necessity of teaching for democracy. The Catholic Social Teaching is also showing the way how to conduct the education for democracy understood in proper way (democracy based on human dignity and values).
