Od „polityki kulturalnej” do „teologii kultury” - przykład Papieskiego Instytutu Studiów Kościelnych w Rzymie
From „cultural policy” to „theology of culture” – an example of the Pontifical Institute of Church Studies

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the genesis and activity of the The Pontifical Institute of Ecclesiastical Studies as an example of the Catholic Church’s approach to cultural heritage. They are seen as a tool of evangelization and a space for dialogue, and have long been the Church’s concern, which in the last decades of the last century also took on an institutional dimension at the central (Vatican dicasteries and Roman formation programmes) and local levels (initiative of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski and Fr. Eugeniusz Reczek, SJ). The sources of these concrete actions may be found in the Christian approach to memory and history, which is rooted in the Bible. For the Church, history has a deeper meaning, it is perceived as ‘theology’ rather than ‘politics’ of culture.
