Integracyjne oddziaływanie Kościoła w społeczeństwie
Dziewulski, Grzegorz (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2011)
This article concerns the integrating impact of the Church on society. It is analyzed from the sociological and historical point of view, but the theological perspective is also taken into account. In the traditional model of society, religion was an important factor which integrated, organized and legitimized nation, state and principles regulating the life of individuals. Throughout the centuries, the influence of religion on community took different scopes and forms. It was largely transformed, i.e. weakened and reoriented towards satisfying the individual’s needs. Nonetheless, in society the Church still remains a criterion for moral judgments and an abiding reservoir of national and social symbols. She is the source of sense, internal motivations, support in crises and the perspective of humanity’s ultimate destiny.
