Natura i manifestacje kolegialności biskupów w dialogu z myślą Johna R. Quinna
Nature and manifestation of bishops’ collegiality in the dialogue with John R. Quinn’s thought

Summary/Abstract: In the field of science and journalism an American theologian and bishop John R. Quinn asked about the nature of the Church and the perspectives for ecclesiology development. The article is a presentation of his approach to the issue of collegiality and an attempt at collating this idea with some other contemporary approaches. With reference to theological and historical strands, I presented the relationship between the model of the Church and the nature of the Holy Trinity as well as ecclesiastical consequences of the selected moments from the first centuries of Christianity. As far as perspectives for the future are concerned, the creation of cultural patriarchates is suggested, which would allow for decentralization and lead to greater sensitivity of the Church and her teaching to local contexts.
