This paper presents the main cyclical scientific events, such as conferences and symposia, as well as signs of growth of the unique pontifical university in Central and Eastern Europe. For example the “Krakow methodological conferences” are of particular interest, because the discovery of an appropriate method ensures success in the search for truth.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/Pontifical University of John Paul IIecclesiastical university educationservice of thoughtuniversitieshigher educationCatholic universitiesUniwersytet Papieski Jana Pawła IIkościelne szkolnictwo wyższesłużba myśliuniwersytetyszkolnictwo wyższeuniwersytety katolickieuniwersytety teologicznetheological universitiesArticle
