Napiórkowski, Andrzej2022-12-122022-12-122006Polonia Sacra, 2006, R. 10 (28), Nr 18 (62), s. 275-286.1428-5673http://theo-logos.pl/xmlui/handle/123456789/2161The following article is a modest attempt to remind and reveal one of the most fascinating spiritual conversions. Clearly overlooked was the total characteristic aspect, which eventually would unveil the inner workings of God's mercy on an individual, its will and intellect, not disturbing freedom. This is about John Henry Newman, who left the Anglican Church and crossed over to the Roman Catholic Church. It was noticed that his decision was not only a great spiritual struggle, but also an ideal for the development of doctrine (i.e. the theory of dogmatic development). In this area it should be shown that catholic mariology and marianism posed perhaps the greatest difficulty for him during a period when it glared from within the national form of expression (Italy, Spain). It appears, that the devotion to angels – for which Newman found proof in the teachings and practices of the early Church – became the element which helped him to accept marianism and ultimately acknowledge the fulfillment of the Christian faith within the roman catholic Church.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/John Henry Newmanangelologiaaniołyanglikanizmruch oksfordzkichrześcijaństwokatolicyzmKościółkonwersja religijnamariologiaMaryjateolodzyteologowieteologiaBógJezus Chrystussolus cum soloBibliaPismo Świętekult aniołówangelologyangelsAnglicanismOxford MovementChristianityCatholicismChurchreligious conversionMariologyMarytheologianstheologyGodJesus ChristBiblecult of angelsArticle
