Konrad Józef}, volume={Tom 15}, pages={11-32}, journal={Studia Nauk Teologicznych PAN}, howpublished={online}, year={2020}, publisher={Polskia Akademia Nauk - Komitet Nauk Teologicznych}, abstract={The pontificate of Pope Francis has a specific character that does not consist only in spectacular gestures or a new language but is also manifested in the contents of his teaching. The presented paper is an attempt to outline the main message in the teaching of Pope Francis and his most important theological inspirations which explain the point of view and specific theological features of his pontificate. The theology of the people is the starting point of the paper as it is central to Francis’ thought about the Church and constitutes the basis for his understanding of social questions. Then, elements of Ignatian spirituality will be presented as they have impact on the manner of presenting theological themes by the Jesuit Pope. The last point introduces a reflection about mercy, which is the key theological idea in the teaching of Francis and finds application in the understanding of many specific questions. The analysis of Francis’ teaching confirms that it is based on the Bible, the theological tradition of the Church and the teaching of the Second Vatican Council, and shows specific new aspects which have been treated as hardly audible voices in the world Church so far.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Specific aspects of theology in the teaching of Pope Francis}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/119336/PDF-MASTER/01_Glombik.pdf}, doi={10.31743/snt.7502}, keywords={Francis, theology of the people, Ignatian spirituality, mercy, Evangelii gaudium, Amoris laetitia}, }
