The article “Reception of Marian Doctrine of the Vatican II in the Post-Conciliar Selected Publications” presents critical analysis of the recent interpretation, contained in the works of contemporary theologians. The analysis revealed that they misunderstood the intentions of the Fathers of the Council, concerning the Marian doctrine of the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church “Lumen Gentium”, treating it, as a separate treatise. Such separation of the Chapter VIII from the C onciliar Constitution had a negative impact
on the contemporary Mariology. Focusing on the concept of the Church as the People of God led to a partial distortion of the perspective in the studies on the presence of Mary in the mystery of the Church. Lack of the concept of the Church as communio sanctorum had a negative influence on the interpretation of the conciliar Mariology. The article suggests to take into consideration the category of communio sanctorum as a hermeneutical category for Mariology, which will allow to improve our understanding of the place and roleof O ur Lady in the mystery of the Church.
