Papinstvo je jedna od glavnih prepreka na ekumenskom putu kojim zajedno hode Katolička Crkva i njezini ekumenski partneri. Budući da je to pitanje od iznimne važnosti, Katolička Crkva, otkako se intenzivno priključila suvremenom ekumenskom pokretu nakon Drugoga vatikanskog sabora, sa svojim ekumenskim partnerima u bilateralnim i multilateralnim dokumentima i o njemu progovara. U ovom radu istražit će se svi ekumenski dokumenti u kojima se o tom pitanju govori, i to od vremena neposredno nakon Drugoga vatikanskog sabora pa sve do najnovijeg vremena, te će se u ekumenskom duhu osvijetliti kako problematiziranje ovog pitanja, tako i neka rješenja koja su ponuđena, a sve s ciljem međusobnog približavanja i ujedinjavanja razjedinjenih kršćana. Tako će ovaj rad donijeti pregled ove iznimno važne ekumenske problematike u okviru postavljene teme. The papacy is one of the main obstacles on the ecumenical path that the Catholic Church and its ecumenical partners walk together. As this issue is extremely important, the Catholic Church, since it intensively joined the contemporary ecumenical movement after the Second Vatican Council, has been speaking about it with its ecumenical partners in bilateral and multilateral documents. In this paper, all ecumenical documents that discuss this issue will be investigated, from the time immediately after the Second Vatican Council until the most recent time. Also, in an ecumenical spirit, both the problematization of this issue and some of the solutions that have been offered will be illuminated, all with the aim of bringing together and uniting the separated Christians. Therefore, this paper will provide an overview of this extremely important ecumenical issue within the framework of the set topic.
