Jan Paweł II a Benedykt XVI – o potrzebie wielokulturowości w Kościele
Streszczenie
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as the Prefect of Congregation for the
Doctrine of the Faith comments an encyclical Fides et Ratio published by
John Paul II in 1999. He shows that this encyclical was the reaction on crisis
which the Western culture was found in the second half of the 20th century.
Ratzinger emphasizes that encyclical rightly diagnoses the source of the crisis.
That is the creators of the main trend of the Western culture resignation
to search of truth about the world. They want to replace the truth with criterion
of usefulness which helps to promote actions, which give only shortterm
benefits. Meanwhile encyclical Fides et Ratio rightly reminds, that
search of truth is the aim and basic for functioning of every culture and the
condition of real intercultural dialogue. Christians may effectively participate
in this dialogue because Christianity (unlikely other religions) is not in
necessary way connected with some specific culture, but precluding truth
about human and God assist they development.
