Summary/Abstract: The contemporary climate of Catholic-Protestant relations is distinguished by ecumenical sensitivity and a readiness for reforms. Since that attitude is not the outcome of passing circumstances it is possible to indicate its justifications reaching deeply into the theological comprehension of the Church. This has been the topic of numerous and extensive studies. The presented text poses a question concerning the disclosure of the ecumenical nature of Christianity within the context of the declarations made by Luther and the history of their impact. The chosen single narrow path of activity is connected with the concept of communication, appreciated in contemporary theology. The beginnings of the Reformation can be perceived as a history of a dramatic severance of communication, and the ecumenical movement - as its reconstruction and development.
