Ecumenical Mariology According to S. C. Napiórkowski

Abstract

In 1965 S. C. Napiórkowski OFMConv presented a very original doctoral dissertation on Mariological questions shown by Protestant theologians. After nearly half a century it turned out that this is a very useful trend in theological studies, as it has led not only him to practicing ecumenical Mariology. The former views of Evangelical Christianity were subjected to criticism, but so were some theses of Catholic Mariology. In his publications Napiórkowski outlined the transition from an argument to a dialog on the Mother of Jesus.
