In his Deus caritas est Benedict XVI turns his appeal to active love is addressed to Christians. We may interpret it from the perspective of John Paul Il's teaching. Karol Wojtyła in his Act and Person showed a relation between man-person’s subjectivity and the structure of human fellowship. According to him, a category that properly describes these relations is participation, for it shows the subjective dimension of commitment. The category of participation properly understood is in itself a protection of subjectivity and dignity of the human person in social life, and it is supposed to bring about a harmonious co-existence between personal responsibility and communal responsibility. Thus it is the name of love that we cannot enslave man, we cannot impose anything on him, but rather we should appeal to his freedom, and teach him to discover the truth about himself and his life. Responsibility for another man is a calling to interpersonal solidarity, and this in turn means a constant readiness to accept and realise what one ought to in relation to the common good. An act of solidarity is also protest in which we seek a full responsibility for another man, although the person who in the spirit of solidarity decides to protest understands the good of another person and the ways to make it come true differently. John Paul II called to protest against that which belittled and enslaved man.
