| Popis: | Autor članak dijeli u dva dijela. U prvom dijelu obrađuje temu pokore u njezinu povijesnom razvoju od samih početaka Crkve pa do kraja petoga stoljeća. U razmatranje je uzet niz društvenih zbivanja na pozornici ondašnjega vremena koji će utjecati na antropološki i teološki vid pokore. Svijest o prisutnosti nastaloga grijeha u vjerničkom životu nakon krštenja sve će više nukati Crkvu na traženje rješenja toga problema. Pronalazak odgovora za pitanje »novonastaloga« grijeha Crkva vidi u sve tješnjoj suradnji sa Svetim pismom i tradicijom. Oni su pravi izvor Božjega milosrđa, oproštenja i spasenja koji se postižu kroz put sakramenta pokore, a on je potreban i obvezan. U drugom dijelu autor donosi primjer prakse pokore u milanskoj Crkvi. Milanski biskup Ambrozije suočavao je samoga sebe sa svojim grijesima, pojedince i cijelu zajednicu. Osobno je bio svjestan potrebe čovjekova obraćenja i Božjega milosrđa i nije oklijevao to osobno iskustvo prenijeti čak ni na političke vladare. U tom dijelu ističe se iskustvo grješnosti milanske vjerničke zajednice iz četvrtoga stoljeća te oblik pokore sa svim njezinim dijelovima. The author divided the article in two parts. The first part discusses the theme of penance in its historical development from the very beginning of the Church until the end of the fifth century. The consideration includes a series of social events on the stage of that time, that would affect the anthropological and theological aspect of penance. The awareness of the presence of sin in the life of believers after baptism will increasingly encourage the Church to seek solutions to this problem. The Church sees the answer to the question of the »newly-created« sin in the closer cooperation with the Holy Scripture and tradition. They are the true source of God’s mercy, forgiveness and salvation that are gained through the sacrament of penance, which is needed and mandatory. In the second part, the author gives an example of the practice of penance in the Church of Milan. Bishop Ambrose of Milan had faced himself with his sins, individuals, and the entire community. He was personally aware of man’s need of repentance and God’s mercy and he did not hesitate to convey this personal experience even to the political rulers. This part emphasizes the experience of sinfulness of the Milan community of believers from the fourth century, and the form of confession with all its parts. |
