Cyprian biskup Kartaginy wobec prymatu biskupa Rzymu

Abstract

The Article is taking the problem of understanding Cyprian of prerogatives of the primacy of the bishop of Rome. Peter’s priority and the originally interpreted mission are describing the apostle ecclesiastical thought of the bishop of Carthage. The first part is appealing to ancient sources from the III century which are confirming the self-awareness of the primacy contemporary for Cyprian of bishops of Rome. Bishops Stephen and Cornelius which are citing Peter’s priority in justifying one’s authority have feeling that his missions and responsibilities for the Church of the Jesus of the Christ are continuators. The second part is portraying, in what way bishop Cyprian from Carthage theologically justified the role and meaning for the successor to Peter at the Church. He built his argumentation on the connection of prerogatives of the bishop of Rome with the priority of Peter what the so-called privilege led rocks out of. He shows that the mission exercised in Rome is marked with the charisma of uniting the Church.
