Zwoliński, Andrzej2023-04-242023-04-242020The Person and the Challenges, 2020, Vol. 10, No. 2, p. 187-197.2083-8018http://theo-logos.pl/xmlui/handle/123456789/6506The Catholic Church is very diverse. This is its beauty and value. However, this can also be a cause of trouble. Where there are differences, conflicts may also arise. Some are open and want dialogue and conversation with everyone, about everything and in every possible way. They are always on the border. They try to understand the world and reach out to it and read the teaching of the Church in a modern way. They advocate reform and radical change. Others are conservative – they care more about preserving the most valuable things in the Church along the way. They care about tradition. They trust the wisdom of time. They do not want to make sudden changes. They look at the past with respect and draw wisdom and inspiration from it, in order to act today. There are different sensitivities, different spiritualities, and even different needs. Can conflicts be avoided? It is certainly not easy and also requires mutual tolerance.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/Churchtolerancesinfreedompersonhumanhuman rightsheresyJohn Paul IIpopesclergypriesthoodChristianityKościółtolerancjagrzechwolnośćosobaczłowiekprawa człowiekaherezjaJan Paweł IIpapieżeduchowieństwokapłanichrześcijaństwoKarol WojtyłaArticle
