Abstract

Roman Catholic ecclesiology and missiology have undergone several substantial shifts of emphases during the 20th century. The re-evaluation of certain aspects of ecclesiology has had a considerable impact on missiology, since new dimensions of mission were discovered and new approaches towards missionary practice had to be found. Papal promulgations and the documents of the Second Vatican Council, as well as the documents published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith have dealt with these issues in various measures. Therefore it is necessary to examine the development of the attitudes of the popes, the Second Vatican Council and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith towards these questions as well as to point out the areas in which major paradigm shifts have taken place. In this respect it is also worthwhile to examine the documents dealing with ecumenism, since these are important both for ecclesiology and mission. Inter-religious dialogue will also be an issue when discussing the mission of the church among people of other faiths. After all, dialogue - as a very important phenomenon - deserves attention on its own.
