Sažetak
In this paper the ecumenical thought of the German Catholic theologian Lothar Lies is in a systematic way analyzed and presented. Despite the fact that Lies’ area of interest is very extensive,
special attention is focused on ecumenical theology. Thus the work,
divided in three parts, presents the key points in ecumenical theology of Lothar Lies. Lies’ starting point in ecumenical considerations is primarily the divisions among Christians that are present in
the Church since the early times of Christianity. Lies looks at these
same Christians through the prism of their mutual cooperation and
presents the efforts of Christian churches and church communities
to establish ecumenical dialogue and cooperation. The second part
of the work points out the role of the Reformation churches in ecumenical dialogue and ecumenical efforts: primarily their relationship
within the Reformation is discussed, as well as the relationship
of Reformation churches to the Roman Catholic Church. Finally,
we also establish some principles and considerations important to
modern ecumenical dialogue. As the author himself is a member of
the Catholic Church, his reflections are in the Council’s spirit and
in accordance with the documents of the Second Vatican Council as
well as with other documents relevant to ecumenical dialogue. Within the framework of such considerations Lies sees the Eucharist
as the starting point and principle of ecumenical theology.
