Pozycja Królestwo Chrystusa drogą KościołaKowalczyk, Mirosław (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2007)The question about the crisis of the Church is a question about the spiritual crisis of the world. Contemporary world is engulfed in a spiritual void. It lacks an idea, a leading thought in building historical reality. The world’s return to religious ideas is a chance to overcome this crisis. The Church is the carrier and the depositary of one of the basic ideas, that is the idea of God’s Kingdom. Its proper interpretation may be an inspiration for overcoming the spiritual crisis in many modern communities. In addition, the Church itself constantly needs enlivenment, a full unification with Christ and identification with Him, and a ceaseless purification of what is wrong and sinful. To achieve this it is necessary to constantly return to the basic values. One of them is the mentioned idea of God’s Kingdom as a living consciousness of the being’s realization towards unification with God. The contemporary Church should serve this idea with all its heart, especially in the period of the living memory of John Paul Il’s great pontificate. The Church should always keep in mind that globalization carries with itself cultural and civilization changes. This is a process that is positive in many aspects, but it involves certain threats because of its influence on generally understood culture. It is important that values should be kept, as they are the basis of the civilization and they determine the identity not only of one chosen ethnic group, but of all mankind, including its religious sphere.
