Salva la distancia entre la realidad ontoteológica y su desenvolvimiento moral a través de una exhortación apremiante a la santidad de vida en la caridad pastoral. PALABRAS CLAVE: sacerdocio, don, misterio, eucaristía, caridad pastoral ABSTRACT: The author develops this paper in the form of a diptych. Firstly, he deals with the theology and priestly spirituality of John Paul II, seen throughout his char- acteristic magisterial journey. In a second moment, the author exposes, by way of synthesis, the priestly ministry that Saint John Paul II offers us. This bridges the gap between ontotheological reality and its moral development through a compelling exhortation to sanctity of life in pastoral charity.

Desde el punto de vista histórico, se menciona la creación de algunas instituciones y organismos que han contribuido al desarrollo de una bioética católica; desde la perspectiva de los temas y contenidos, se propone que el aporte específico de la Iglesia Católica al desarrollo de la bioética comprende cuestiones de método, de epistemología y de fundamentación. En este contexto se mencionan algunos documentos del Magisterio eclesiástico que han contribuido a iluminar y enriquecer la reflexión bioética sobre algunos temas concretos. Central a este aporte de la Iglesia es la comprensión de la persona y su dignidad, especialmente a partir del Concilio Vaticano II, que desarrolla un “personalismo critológico”. Particularmente relevante ha sido, en este mismo sentido, la contribución de Juan Pablo II a través de sus escritos publicados antes y durante su Pontificado. palabras clave: bioética; personalismo; Iglesia Católica; personalismo cristológico.
