Summary/Abstract: Under the theme framework »Relevance of the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World Gaudium et Spes« (1965), the article first briefly points to the important inspiring moments of this constitution with regard to the opening of the Church to the world and the change of the pre-Council paradigm of defense and condemnation by the paradigm of encounter and dialogue with the world. It then moves to focus on the importance of novelty of anthropology, methodology and language of the pastoral constitution as very inspiring moments for present pastoral action. Dialogue and communion are discussed in separate units. Within the dialogue there is a link set between the sett ings of pastoral constitution and our time with respect to the internal Church dialogue, the dialogue in which the constitution calls theologians, and the dialogue with atheists and opponents (enemies) of the faithful and the Church.
