In the face of the „blanking”, and „rolls up” the works and the more current the human products of which we assist in the present Europe, the axiology of the development and its educational implications becomes very important question. The social teaching of the Catholic Church captures the problems of the development (axiological), especially by pope John Paul II, clearly directing our thinking towards the education to the development through places in his Encyclical-Letter ‘Sollicitudo rei socialis’ clearly speaking about this education. According to the teaching of John Paul II, „the development demands above all the spirit of the initiative” from individuals and entire community, and whose symptom, by Benedict XVI was expressed as spiritual growing up. The spiritual dimension penetrating every person and community made them able to undertaking the full responsibility and made him able to be the tutor of oneself. This can be perceived as crowning of the process of the individual and social development through the education for the development.
