The Development of the Trinitarian Charism in Poland and its Realization

The aim of this article is to present the stages of development of the Trinitarian charism in Poland and to discuss the ways of its implementation, as well as to answer the question to what extent the Polish Trinitarians in their more than three hundred years of history have adapted the religious charism to their native conditions in changing historical circumstances. This, in turn, will allow better understanding of the heritage and activities of the Trinitarian Order in Poland, as well as to bring closer its multifaceted impact on various areas of Church and social life. The issues raised here, as a type of case study, can also contribute to a better understanding of the development, actualization and adaptation of the religious charism in general, or at least illustrate this process with a concrete example.
