    The Person and the Challenges Volume 10 (2020) Number 1, p. 253–282 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15633/pch.3620 Jan Daniel Szczurek ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9804-0566 The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow, Poland The Service of Thought. The First Decade of the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow Abstract The paper shows how “the service of thought” (using an expression of John Paul II) has been performed at the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow during last ten years. This paper presents the main cyclical scientific events, such as conferences and symposia, as well as signs of growth of the unique pontifical university in Central and Eastern Europe. For example the “Krakow methodological conferences” are of particular interest, because the discovery of an appropriate method ensures success in the search for truth. Keywords The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow, ecclesiastical university education, “service of thought”. The Pontifical University of John Paul II is an academic institution located in Kra- kow, derived from the Faculty of Theology established in the 14th century. It hap- pened exactly in 1397 when the Queen of Poland St. Jadwiga (Hedwig) asked the Pope Boniface IX to strengthen the Krakow Studium Generale (founded on 12 May 1364 by King Casimir the Great) by founding the Faculty of Theology. The Pope answered on 11 January 1397 with the Bull Eximiae devotionis affectus The Person and the Challenges 254 Volume 10 (2020) Number 1, p. 253–282 allowing the foundation of that Faculty in Krakow at the same time promoting the Studium to the rank of university (now the Jagiellonian University).1 This very date begins an above six hundred years’ period of history of the Faculty of Theology in Krakow.

Man’s inhumanity to man has given rise to nu- merous threats to peace and to authentic and integral human development – wars, international and regional conflicts, acts of ter- rorism, and violations of human rights. Yet no less troubling are the threats arising from the neglect – if not downright misuse – of the earth and the natural goods that God has given us. For this reason, it is imperative that mankind renew and strengthen ‘that covenant between human beings and the environment, which should mirror the creative love of God, from whom we come and towards whom we are journeying’.
