Zatwardnicki, Sławomir2025-08-282025-08-282015Teologia w Polsce, 2015, Tom 9, nr 1, s. 161-187.2956-63551732-4572https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/35202It is worthwhile to meditate the contents hidden in this Marian dogma, for the Mother of God’s unique vocation gives light to all the people’s vocation. The Immaculate Conception reveals the following truths: relation between the eternal will of God (predestination) and the will of man (freedom); relation between the divine grace and human cooperation; connection between temporality and eternity. The article also underlines an ecumenical aspect of the dogma’s contents. The author engages in polemics against the widespread (even among Catholics) opinion, according to which the Immaculate Conception should be an expression of the sola gratia principle.plCC-BY - Uznanie autorstwaBógczłowiekChrystusWcielenieMaryjaMatka BożaNiepokalane Poczęciewolaczaswiecznośćhistoriapredestynacjawolnośćłaskawspółpracaodkupieniepowołanieekumenizmprotestantyzmprawosławiechrześcijaństwo wschodniesola gratiateologiateologia dogmatycznadogmatydogmaty maryjnechrześcijaństwochrześcijaniemariologiamariologia protestanckamariologia prawosławnateologia prawosławnateologia protestanckaGodmanhumanChristIncarnationMaryMother of GodImmaculate ConceptionwilltimeeternityhistorypredestinationfreedomgracecooperationredemptionvocationecumenismProtestantismEastern OrthodoxyEastern Christianitytheologydogmatic theologydogmasMarian dogmasChristianityChristiansMariologyProtestant MariologyOrthodox MariologyOrthodox theologyProtestant theologyArticle
