From the Apologetic Ecclesiology to the Structural Credibility of the Church

Piotr Królikowski

Abstract

The article presents three phases in evolution of the argumentation for the credibility of the Church. The first stage includes the apologetic ecclesiology’s arguments. However, they were methodologically inadequate and in the Second Vatican Council's perspective they required reconstruction. At the next stage, it was done by fundamental ecclesiology, which also formulated new arguments that are methodologically consistent with its subject. Third stage is a proposition of
the author of the article. He presents a project of the structural credibility of the Church. This argumentation is based on genetic and functional relationship
between the Church and the Revelation. The author’s purpose is to present fundamental ecclesiology’s arguments as a whole with the help of the dimensions of the Church’s catholicity: height, length, width, depth.
