Odpowiedzialność za Kościół w Polsce w świetle nauczania Jana Pawła II podczas pielgrzymek do Polski

Abstract

From the beginning of his pontificate John Paul II on started his work to prepare the universal Church for the celebrations of the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000. The schedule of that preparation is summarized in his call to new evangelization. The Holy Father makes it precise in his successive documents and during his apostolic visits. During his pilgrimages to Poland the Pope calls on his fellow-men to a greater responsibility for the Church. This responsibility means on the one hand a more profound self-awareness of the Church and a sense of identity with the Church; on the other hand, all the baptized should join in the performance of a mission within the Church and in the world. Those who make up various states in the Church: bishops, priests, religious and lay people, though in a varied way. participate in the threefold mission of Christ carried out in the Church.
