„Jagielloński wymiar polskości” drogą do pojednania? Na kanwie polskich doświadczeń katolików i protestantów
“Jagiellonian dimension of Polishness” – a way to reconciliation? on the basis of Polish experience of Catholics and Protestants

Summary/Abstract: John Paul II mentioned that Martin Luther’s proclamation gave rise to the reformation and becamethe cause of breakages and divisions in the Church, but (despite everything) “the belief in the Crucifiedand Resurrected Christ remains as a common denominator of Christians of the reformation times. Theydiffered in relation to the Church and Rome but they did not reject the truth about the Resurrection”. This truth particularly characterized the actions of people on the Polish political scene inthe Jagiellonian period. This truth even now unites Christians and Christians who act together standa chance to demonstrate to the contemporary world that evil can and should be overcome by good butthey must, like Elijah, conquer disappointment and despair and to hear God’s command: “Get up, eatas there is a long way ahead of you”. Catholics and Protestants have already overcome many obstacles on their way to reconciliationbut perhaps the tradition of Polish Christianity, its Jagiellonian dimension will point out new areas of dialogue.
