The phenomen of holy folly in the Western Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions: the meaning of this phenomen in christianity
ŠIMROVÁ, Hana
The goal of this thesis is to understand the meaning of holy folly. The Bible often uses the term fool for godless man. We can see the change in meaning of foolishness in the teaching of apostle Paul. The wisdom of God incarnated in the cross of Jesus Christ is foolishness in the eyes of this world. Antropological concept of liminality and communitas makes the holy folly possible to be interpreted in wider meaning as a liminal person who maintains and introduces liminality to the structure of christian society. Holy fool is an eschatological person who refers to the existence of the other world and who does not live up to the standards of this world. Holy folly is a specific charisma to which only some people are called. This charisma is to serve the restoration and development of the Church. Every form of holy folly depicts enthusiasm for God.
