Wspólnotowy wymiar wiary w nauczaniu Benedykta XVI
Chojnicki, Grzegorz (Wyższe Seminarium Duchowne Diecezji Warszawsko-Praskiej, 2012)
Recently in European societies perceiving the man as units tear out of community, family, Church, society is favored. A man deciding about himself, making his own decisions, not-taking values and authority up to the attention, not taking nations or community into consideration is being promoted. Such an attitude is today unfortunately omnipresent in the world full of relativism and individualism. In this context Joseph Ratzinger (XVI Benedict) is emphasizing clearly that in religious context saving the human’s soul isn’t “escape from the responsibility of that, what shared” The faith always finds fulfillment in the relation to people who live next to us. Thus the faith in Jesus Christ is believing him one’s life and, at the same time, significant way to recognize redemption effected by him. However in our times the man is searching for redemption not in the faith, but in the science, technology and the practice. The author is trying to show how nowadays a Community dimension of experiencing the faith, religious yearnings and existential questions is important.
