Znaczenie pojęcia duszy dla rozwoju twierdzeń eschatologicznych. Dogmatyczne implikacje reformy liturgicznej Vaticanum II w świetle nauczania J. Ratzingera/Benedykta XVI

Abstract

In a contemporary theological reflection, recent several dozen years have brought a crisis of the concept of the soul that distinctly influenced the shape of the Roman liturgy. Resignation of the term, treated by Christian anthropology as a component on which immortality is based, consequently led to a change of a man’s image and his final destiny. In response, J. Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, referring to the liturgical tradition, recognized the concept of human soul as a key phrase in explaining eschatological truths. At the same time he indicated some reasons for this phenomenon and noticed its dangers for Christianity.
