Jan Paweł II świadkiem Kościoła

Abstract

In the times when the Church is often understood in only natural way, when Jesus Christ is dangerously separated from His Church and when John Paul II’s pontificate is sometimes interpreted ‘outside’ the ecclesiastical and ecclesiological context, it is necessary to remind that John Paul II has been the witness of the Church. In this article the most important elements of this testimony have been presented. They have been devided into two parts: John Paul II’s testimony to the mystery of the Church (its origins and nature) and to its mission in the world. Due to John Paul II, the faithful witness of the Church, one can better understand the truth about the Church and more clearly see its credibility.
