Journal Title: Środkowoeuropejskie Studia Polityczne - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Otwarcie Kościoła katolickiego na dialog z innymi religiami ma swoje źródło w Soborze Watykańskim II (1962–1965), który w wielu dokumentach wyraził pozytywny stosunek Kościoła katolickiego do religii niechrześcijańskich. Był wydarzeniem szczególnym i przełomowym w dziejach Kościoła katolickiego. Autorka przedstawiła dokument soborowy, który proponuje, aby wierni Kościoła nawiązali dialog z wyznawcami różnych religii, aby szanowali wartości obecne w tych religiach. Deklaracja o stosunku Kościoła do religii niechrześcijańskich Nostra aetate rozpoczęła proces reorientacji Kościoła wobec wyznawców różnych religii m.in. islamu i judaizmu, której podstawił jest wiara w jednego Boga (monoteizm). Należy zwrócić uwagę zwłaszcza na numer 3. tej deklaracji, który podkreśla, iż Kościół katolicki z szacunkiem odnosi się do wyznawców islamu oraz numer 4., który zawiera sformułowanie zdejmujące z Żydów odpowiedzialność za Bogobójstwo, porusza bolesną sprawę antysemityzmu, jednak nie z pobudek politycznych. Dzięki Deklaracji wielu katolików zmieniło podejście do wyznawców innych religii. Ten dokument jest świadectwem potwierdzającym szczególną troskę Kościoła o nawiązanie przyjaznych relacji z wyznawcami różnych religii m.in. islamu i judaizmu. Autorka jest przekonana, iż dokument przyczynia się do pokojowego współistnienia religii, które powinny podjął służbę na rzecz pokoju między narodami, co stanowi o jego politycznym wymiarze. The opening of the Catholic Church to dialogue with other religions has its source in the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965), which in many documents expressed the positive attitude of the Catholic Church to non-Christian religions. It was a special landmark event in the history of the Catholic Church. The author presents a conciliatory document, which proposes that the faithful of the Church should establish a dialogue with the followers of different religions to respect the values present in these religions. The Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions Nostra Aetate began the process of the re-orientation of the Church towards the followers of different religions, among others Islam and Judaism, which are based on the belief in one God (monotheism). Particular attention should be paid to item 3 of this Declaration, which emphasizes that the Catholic Church has regard for the followers of Islam and item 4, which contains the formulation of the Jewish responsibility for deicide and raises the painful issue of anti-Semitism, but not for political reasons. Through the Declaration, a lot of Catholics have changed their approach towards the followers of other religions. This document is a testimony confirming the special concern of the Church about establishing friendly relations with the followers of different religions, among others Islam and Judaism. The author is convinced that the document contributes to the peaceful coexistence of religions, which should work towards peace between nations.
