Dialog Kościoła z kulturą prowadzony przez Karola Wojtyłę (Jana Pawła II)

The dialogue between the Church and culture was notably advanced by Karol Wojtyla, first as the bishop of Krakow and later as Pope John Paul II. In 1982, he established the Pontifical Council for Culture. John Paul II not only aligned himself with artists but also assumed the role of their spiritual guide. This article explores the ongoing dialogue Wojtyla led, both as a bishop and as Pope, through his papal pilgrimages to Poland, his meetings with cultural figures in Rome and across the globe, and his programmatic address at UNESCO, culminating in his Letter to Artists. Today, this dialogue remains vital and increasingly relevant, underscoring its importance in the life of the Church.
