The question about how religious pluralism should properly be understood from the Catholic point of view has been asked since the outset of Christianity. It was also formulated in the context of A Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmad Al-Tayyeb. The present article gives a theological interpretation of the sentence included in the Abu Dhabi document: “The pluralism and the diversity of religions, color, sex, race and language are willed by God in His wisdom, through which He created human beings.” It argues that this passage should be understood correctly within the inclusivist paradigm that recognizes and confers to non-Christian religions and to religious pluralism a status de iure without jeopardizing the foundations of Catholic faith: the unicity and salvific universality of Jesus Christ and the Church. In conclusion, the question concerning the application of the assertion to the case of Islam has been explored.

The article, written by a professor of Church history, who in 2011 at the age of 62 was ordained to priesthood by Cardinal Joachim Meissner from Cologne, provides a doctrinal and pastoral summary of the entire pontificate of Benedict XVI. The author begins by describing his first encounter with Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and later correspondence with Benedict XVI. Next, he depicts with pain a not very favorable atmosphere in Germany after Ratzinger was elected pope and during his pontificate, even though the election of a German to the papacy after five hundred years should be a special reason for  pride. The analysis of the Pope's teaching begins with a short discussion of the trilogy "Jesus of Nazareth", followed by a scrutiny of the encyclicals of Benedict XVI "Deus Caritas est", "Spe salvi" and "Caritas in veritate". The author also mentions the 24 apostolic journeys undertaken by Benedict XVI during the eight years of his pontificate. He presents the assumptions of the Year of St. Paul, the Year of the Priesthood and the Year of Faith, all closely connected with the idea of the new evangelization and announced by the Pope. Pope Benedict's achievements include also forty- four canonizations and one hundred and five beatifications. The author strongly emphasizes the Pope's merits in interreligious and ecumenical dialog. He shows the role of papal reflection towards a deeper understanding of religious freedom. The dark pages of this pontificate are mentioned as well, mainly the problem of pedophilia in the Church and the Vatileaks affair.

Artykuł profesora historii Kościoła, który w wieku 62 lat został w 2011 roku przez kard. Jo- achima Meissnera z Kolonii wyświęcony na kapłana, stanowi podsumowanie doktrynalne i pasto- ralne całego pontyfikatu Benedykta XVI. Autor na początku opisuje swoje pierwsze spotkanie z kard. Josephem Ratzingerem i późniejszą korespondencję z Benedyktem XVI. Następnie z bó- lem ukazuje niezbyt życzliwą atmosferę w Niemczech po wyborze Ratzingera na papieża i w cza- sie jego pontyfikatu, co po 500 latach od wyboru na papieża Niemca powinno być szczególnym powodem do dumy. Analizę nauczania papieskiego zaczyna od krótkiego omówienia trylogii  Jezusa z  Nazaretu, a w dalszej kolejności encyklik Benedykta XVI Deus Caritas est i Spe salvi oraz Caritas in verita- te. Wspomina o 24 podróżach apostolskich Benedykta XVI, które odbył w czasie ośmiu lat  swegopontyfikatu. Przedstawia założenia Roku Pawłowego, Kapłańskiego i Roku Wiary, połączonego ściśle z ideą nowej ewangelizacji, które zostały ogłoszone przez papieża. Do dorobku Benedykta należą też 44 kanonizacje i 105 beatyfikacji. Podkreśla szczególne zasługi papieża w dziedzinie dialogu międzyreligijnego i ekumenicznego. Ukazuje wkład refleksji papieskiej dla pogłębienia problematyki wolności religijnej. Wspomina też o cieniach tego pontyfikatu, do których zalicza przede wszystkim sprawę pedofilii w Kościele oraz aferę Vatileaks.
