Ku teologii znaków czasu

Abstract

Vatican Council II set itself a goal which is a deeper knowledge of the nature and mission of the Church. A regenerated consciousness of the Church directly contributed to the deepening of the concept of the world in which it fulfils its mission. From the nature of the Church it follows that it is to be present in the world and lead it to salvation. The contemporary world, which undergoes many changes, expects a dialogue in the full sense of the word with the Church. In such a dialogue the world "speaks in public" through the signs of the times. Their recognition is integrally linked with the fulfilling of the Church mission.
