Okońska, Elżbieta2025-06-032025-06-032015Studia Bydgoskie, 2015, Tom 9, s. 273-289.1898-9837https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/32095The article attempts to answer the question of the extent to which cultural trends, which stress the significance of loneliness in the modern world, penetrate the Catholic Church community. Is the dominant picture of the contemporary Church that of loneliness and isolation while its community, a prerequisite for the existence of the Church, is in fact disappearing? The search for an answer to the question should include a study of various selected forms of loneliness and isolation in the Catholic Church community in Poland. For this reason, certain fundamental terminological issues first need to be clarified and then referred to the theological perspective of the relationship between the person and the Church community; a subsequent sociological study of the situation of the Church in Poland should result in a brief presentation of forms of loneliness and isolation as well as their educational implications.plCC-BY-SA - Uznanie autorstwa - Na tych samych warunkachsamotnośćosamotnieniewspólnotawspólnota KościołaKościółKościół w PolsceKościół katolickiKościół katolicki w Polsceedukacjaosamotnienie we wspólnocie Kościoła katolickiego w Polscesamotność we wspólnocie Kościoła katolickiego w Polscelonelinessisolationcommunitycommunity of the ChurchChurchChurch in PolandCatholic ChurchCatholic Church in Polandeducationloneliness in the community of the Catholic Church in Polandisolation in the community of the Catholic Church in PolandArticle
