Poglądy Pedagogiczne Zenona Grocholewskiego
Pedagogical Views of Zenon Grocholewski

Summary/Abstract: Catholic schools are the main alternative to state-run educational entities around the world. They are subject not only to the authorities of the country in which they operate but also to the authorities of the Vatican. The prefect who manages the dicastery responsible for catholic schooling therefore has influence over education on a global scale. Among dicastery administrators after the Second Vatican Council, we should mention the Polish Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski, who led the way in terms of academic achievements, teaching and the amount of attention and effort devoted to pedagogical issues. In the paper, Zenon Grocholewski’s views on education in general, Catholic schools, higher education and the formation of the clergy are presented and the dominant categories are identified. Finally, an attempt is made to evaluate his beliefs (including their compatibility with the teachings of the Church) and to place them in the broader context of pedagogical thought.
