Dialog Pana ze swoim ludem. Przepowiadanie słowa Bożego i duszpasterstwo
The Lord’s Dialogue with his People. Preaching the Word of God and Pastoral Care

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses dialogue in the life and mission of the Church as postulated by Pope Francis. It presents an analysis of the statements of Pope Francis and his predecessors as well as documents of the Second Vatican Council. It presents the papal understanding of dialogue and its anthropological and theological foundations. It justifies the dialogical dimension of ecclesial preaching and advocates the use of inculturation and accommodation methods, as well as communal discernment of the signs of the times. It points out that dialogue is a pastoral method that makes it possible to implement the Conciliar vision of the Church as a community. It discusses the synodality proposed by Pope Francis as a style of life for the Church in intra-ecclesial dialogue. It emphasizes the need for formation of dialogue between clergy and laity and for deepening the ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council through catechesis. The results of the study indicate that dialogue is an appropriate tool for the missionary transformation of the Church called for by Pope Francis.
