Chrześcijaństwo wobec pokusy utopizmu. Społeczno-polityczne implikacje dogmatu o grzechu pierworodnym

Abstract

Christianity is repeatedly accused that the truths it preaches cannot be translated into the reality of man's life here and now. These truths are unquestionably important and valuable for the faithful because they speak of heaven, which the Christians are looking forward to in the future, but they do not speak much of the world in which they presently live. So, if they do not want to walk with their heads in the clouds, but have their feet firmly on the ground, then they must look for inspiration and advice elsewhere, not in the Gospel or the Church Tradition. This accusation, considering its force and range, needs serious consideration, the expression of which would be an assessment of its worth on the example of one truth from the Catholic credo. It is the teaching about the original sin.
