Love and Responsibility is a book written by Karol Wojtyła before he became Pope John Paul II and was originally published in Polish in 1960 and in English in 1981.[1][2][3] A new translation was published in 2013.[4] Fr. Wojtyła was inspired to write the book when he was a professor at the Catholic University of Lublin,[5] through the experiences he had while teaching young Catholics.
