Życiński, Wojciech2022-12-132022-12-132004Polonia Sacra, 2004, R. 8 (26), Nr 15 (59), s. 5-20.1428-5673http://theo-logos.pl/xmlui/handle/123456789/2334The 150th anniversary of the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady presents an occasion to view from the ecumenical perspective the doctrine whose history, definition and interpretation have evoked numerous controversies and disagreements across denominations. This view is now more optimistic considering a truly ecumenical harmonization reached by a protestant and catholic Group of Dombes. The harmonization states that though Protestants cannot accept the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception as belonging to the creed they assert that it does not contradict the evangelical message. The message preaches redemption offered by God through Christ to all people. He offered it also to Mary, choosing her to be the Mother of His Son, the sole Saviour of the human race, and by bestowing upon her His mercy and previously redeeming her. Ecumenical experience shows that the traditional approach which maintains that St. Mary unites while Mariology divides us no longer holds true. It would be a misunderstanding if we were preoccupied with Mariology, which divides us, in order to learn the truth of Mary, who unites us.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/dogmatyniepokalane poczęcieMaryjaekumenizmteologiaprotestantyzmkatolicyzmmariologiaBibliaPismo ŚwięteEwangeliaepistemologiaepistemologia ekumenicznafilozofiadogmasImmaculate ConceptionMaryecumenismtheologyProtestantismCatholicismMariologyBiblegospelepistemologyphilosophyArticle
