Dyplomacja papieska w służbie miłosierdzia
Lewiński, Przemysław August (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Wyższego Instytutu Teologicznego w Częstochowie, 2015)
Papal diplomacy fulfills many different tasks. They do not refer to economic matters but for ages it has been taking care of the individual human being. Papal diplomats represent not themselves but the Holy Father, who is personally responsible for all the Churches around the world. So that why their actions primarly should have ecclesial dimension. From this point of view papal diplomacy is made to favour mercy. It should implement substantial Christ appeal to make mercy deeds to the soul and to the body. Examples of such activities are different. They all have got common denominator – serving the human in the name of the Successor of Saint Peter. These tasks are so important because of forthcoming Holy Year of Mercy. Because the Holy Father emphasizes the obligation to show mercy, so his personal representatives should be the first who respond to His challenge. This article describes various forms of engagement in cause of mercy held by papal diplomacy. Examples of substantial action used here show us that papal representatives’ activities should be seen as the real service to the other human being.
