Zmiana w perspektywie ekumenicznej doktryny o Wniebowzięciu Maryi

Abstract

In the 1950's the dogma of the bodily Assumption of Mary was treated as an important obstacle to ecumenical movement. The paper presents new attitudes toward two traditional objections formulated in this domain. The objections dealt with the doctrine of the Only Mediator and the censure of the apparent divinisation of Mary. After describing the present depolarisation of former approaches the author focuses his attention upon remarkable evolution in the views of Protestant theologians. In the final part of the paper W. Pannenberg's conception of proleptic eschatology is introduced to reinterpret Marial biblical texts and to present the Assumption as a final consequence of the grace of Redemption.
