Znaczenie pneumatologii dla otwarcia ekumenicznego

Abstract

The article is an attempt to designate the significance of pneumatology for ecumenical openness of Christian Churches and Communities. It consists of three parts. Firstly, from the Roman Catholic perspective the Author indicates some reasons for necessity of taking into account and unceasing learning of pneumatology. It has been important to analyze negative results of the before Council closeness for the Holy Spirit in the Western ecclesiology as well as positive fruition of the openness for Him at Vatican II. The main part of the article turns a Reader’s attention towards the possibilities of mutual enriching by various components of pneumatology in the scope of the interpretation of an act of faith, the Word of God, Tradition, new humanity, connectedness of saving economy of the Son with that of the Holy Spirit, the identity of the Spirit in Christ and in Christians, saving mediation of the Spirit and His life-giving activity. The Author presents chances of ecumenical dialogue in the third part of the article. It would be possible to notice and use them if one undertakes the deeper afterthought on individual plots of pneumatology. He shows how to do it referring to three threads of ecclesiological pneumatology.
