The Credibility of the Church according to Joseph Ratzinger

Summary/Abstract: The Joseph's Ratzinger's theological thought is for the contemporary theology one of important datum points. Simultaneously we can today declare that the thought of the German Theologian is enough accessible, that it is possible to elaborate generally and critically single themes presented in his theological heritage. The author of the present article undertook one elaboration of key-problems for the fundamental theological reflection: how the German theologian seized the problem of the credibility of the Church. This theme did not find the general and systematic elaboration in the J. Ratzinger's publications, and simultaneously the analysis of his thought indicates that behind the singular elaborations about the partial character hides the certain determined conception of the credibility of the Church. The author of the present article decided to show this conception talking over following problems: conditions defining the possibility of the reflection over the problem of the reliability of the Church, the bond of the Church with the Person of Christ (the historic dimension of the reliability of the Church), features decisive about the reliability of Church community in her current existence.
