Penuria sacerdotum a powołanie diakona stałego. O pewnej fałszywej argumentacji
Łapucha, Jarosław (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2021)
This article constitues the voice in discussion concerning legitimacy of introducing permanent diaconate in Poland. The service of permanent deacons has been reinstated into Roman Church after ten decades. Such a decision has been taken during Second Vatican Council’s deliberations. The Council then, defined permanent diaconate as congruent and enduring hierarchic level of the Church. In Central and Eastern Europe – as well as in Poland – the service of permanent diaconate was almost entirely unknown, until the polish episcopal Conference in 2001, due to which the service of permanent deacons was introduced on the territory of Poland. Several years old presence of permanent deacons arose the discussion regarding the desideratum of implementing the office of permanent deacons in polish Church. Nonetheless, the arguments that emerge within conversation, wrongly represent the essence and character of permanent diacons service, mainly focusing on the lack of calling to ministry or the claim stating a sufficient number of the abovementioned deacons. Thus, this perspective is marked by pragmatic -functional approach disregarding theological aspect, which should be in the first place.
