Indygenizm jako aspekt latynoamerykańskiej teologii wyzwolenia. Refleksja z perspektywy pracy misyjnej wśród Indian Paragwaju
Indigenism as a part of the liberation theology in Latin America. Reflections on the missionary work among the Indians in Paraguay

Summary/Abstract: In the late 1980s the liberation theology underwent a comprehensive dogmatic evaluation by the relevant, official bodies of the Catholic Church, which clearly favoured the then just emerging indigenous theology (teologia india). Despite this, the liberation theology has exercised a considerable influence on the theory and practice of the missionary work among the Indians in Paraguay. One of the key figures in this regard were Frs Bartomeu Meliá SJ and José Seelwische OMI, who have performed a radical reinterpretation of the decrees of the Second Vatican Council and the Declaration of Barbados of 1971, redefined the paradigm of the missionary work among the Indians at the Consulta in Asunción in 1972, and oversaw their implementation through the National Missions Team (ENM), an advisory board of the Paraguayan Episcopal Conference.
