In the article the author presents poverty as a sign of the credibility of Christianity. He does so by referring, first of all, to the teaching of the Church (the Second Vatican Council, the Pact of the Catacombs, Pope Francis’ teaching), as well as to contemporary theology. The analysis is viewed from the fundamental theological perspective. Apart from traditional ways of justifying the Church’s credibility, the author proposes a new one – via paupertatis. It means that the Church is as credible as long as it is poor. Poverty is the criterion of its authenticity. By becoming poor, the Church imitates Jesus himself. Thus, in its deepest dimension, poverty has a Christological justification.
