O posłudze i zadaniach Uniwersytetu na dziś. Mieczysława A. Krąpca koncepcja uniwersytetu
About Today’s Ministry and University Objectives. University Conceptual Framework by Mieczysław A. Krąpiec

Summary/Abstract: Catholic University means common. For this reason it may serve as the model of contemporary university of humanities. Commonness is in opposition to unilaterality and tightness. Commonness - Catholicism - manifests itself in a variety of domains of life. It primarily manifests itself in our religion. This side of Catholicism is the foundation stone for life truly human, on the one hand life in appreciation of all real values of what is terrestrial - on the other hand life that opens to infinite, eternal horizons of truth, goodness, joy. Furthermore - as Krąpiec explains - the Catholic University of Lublin has set out two priorities. The top priority - the study of religious creativity and those fields of culture that are linked with religion. The study of a variety of manifestations of the Catholic culture undoubtedly constitutes the great subject matter worthy of organised method-based cognitive procedures. The study of the Catholic culture, especially of our country of millennial heritage in that field, is the masterpiece that is elaborated upon by theology and Canon law, and philosophy and faculties of humanities. The other specific priority of our University is to educate the Catholic intelligence amongst both the layman and the clergy. According to Father Krąpiec, University should most of all guard the complete truth about man and safeguard that truth. Today it appears to be the ‘reason of state’ as ‘to be or not to be’ for Catholic University as well as for universities of humanities.
