Odnowa męskich instytutów życia konsekrowanego i stowarzyszeń życia apostolskiego w Szwecji
Restoration of male institutes of consecrated life and societies of apostolic life in Sweden

Summary/Abstract: The Catholicism in Sweden with all its rich historical and social structure is also constituted by the influence of the male orders on the spirituality, religiosity and everyday life of Christians in Sweden. These communities could not continue their activities after the Reformation. They returned, however, and came to life slowly and gradually, simultaneously with the advancing religious tolerance. As of today many orders in the Catholic Church are committed to social and pastoral challenges on Swedish soil, both in the catholic communities and in broader social circles. Their extensive past is closely bound with the difficult past of Catholicism in Sweden and the contemporary issues of postmodern society.
