Religia chrześcijańska a nowa kultura. Trudności w dialogu

Abstract

The article discusses the causes of conflict in the dialogue between Christian religion and new culture. The main cause is in the mind of man, who is today threatened nationalism, racism, and religious fundamentalism. There is an inseparable link between culture and religion, and the dialogue between them is the way to truth, of which God is the source. Man creates culture and benefits from it, but must be open to full communion with God in religion. Culture cannot replace religion, it cannot satisfy the spiritual needs of man and in does not direct man towards the ultimate goal of eternal life. Dialogue between Christianity and the new culture, which can promote integral human development and sustainable progress, requires that account be taken of Christian humanism, which respects human dignity and human rights. Thanks to this, man builds awareness of his own values and can look for his own ways to reach God.
