Kilka uwag na zakończenie dyskusji

Barbara Skarga analyses briefly the views of the authors who took part in a discussion on religion and ethics. She notices that so many critics miss the difference between the deep, esoteric Christian tradition and its popular esoteric version. The pope’s arguments and fears are well reasoned and more tolerant as they seem to be at first sight. The modern world is split by crisis of values, wars, nationalisms, intolerance, positivistic consumerism. Catholic moralists see these dangers and rightly oppose to them. They take however too narrow view as for the primordial role of the catholic religion in the process of coping with them. People in the whole world and especially in Poland are in doubt about whether there is only one credible truth and one institution to carry it on.
