- Title
"UNITY--THE CHALLENGE OF YOUR HISTORY": JOHN PAUL II AND CZECH ECUMENISM.
- Authors
SVATOŇ, ROBERT
- Abstract
The present text focuses on the appeals of John Paul II regarding Czech Ecumenism. It does so in three steps: first, it offers general characteristics of Wojtyła's understanding of ecumenism; then it outlines the social and ecclesiastic context in which the Pope's calls for Christian unity in the Czech Republic were received during the 1990s; and, finally, it presents three topics of the Pope's most important ecumenical appeals. The chosen method allows us to see how the universally-applicable principles of John Paul II's ecumenical efforts were manifested in his specific pastoral concerns about the local Church and Christian unity in Bohemia and Moravia.
