Summary
This text deals with the relationship between the Catholic Church and art from the Second Vatican Council to today. For this reason it considers some of the most important interventions about art by recent popes (Montini - Paul VI; Wojtyła - John Paul II; Ratzinger - Benedict XVI, Bergoglio - Francis) also mentioning some activities that the Holy See is currently promoting. These pages are intended to offer a contribution, mainly theoretical, for those who are working in the field of the planning and promotion of artistic and cultural events, especially if these events are related to religious heritage.
Riassunto
Il testo presenta - dal Concilio Vaticano II fino ad oggi - il rapporto tra Chiesa ed arte. Si evidenziano per questo alcuni dei principali interventi a proposito dei più recenti pontefici (Montini - Paolo VI; Wojtyła - Giovanni Paolo II; Ratzinger - Benedetto XVI, Bergoglio - Francesco) e si accenna ad alcune attività che attualmente sta svolgendo la Santa Sede. Si intende così offrire un contributo di carattere prevalentemente teoretico a coloro che intendono operare nella progettazione e promozione di eventi artistici e culturali o si dedicano ad inerenti attività formative ed educative, soprattutto se a contatto con beni che riguardano il patrimonio di carattere religioso.
Résumé
Le texte illustre la relation entre l’Église et l’art, du Concile Vatican II au jour d’aujourd’hui. Les principales interventions des papes plus récents sont évoquées dans ce cadre (Montini - Paul VI; Wojtyła - Jean-Paul II; Ratzinger - Benoît XVI, Bergoglio - François), en complément d’un survol des activités que le Saint-Siège développe en ce moment. Notre contribution se veut une contribution essentiellement théorétique, destinée à ceux qui souhaitent intervenir dans la conception et promotion d’événements artistiques et culturels, ou qui se consacrent à des activités de formation et d’éducation dans ce domaine, surtout en lien avec des biens du patrimoine religieux.
Zusammenfassung
Der Text stellt die Beziehung zwischen Kirche und Kunst vom II. Vatikanischen Konzil bis heute dar. Zu diesem Zweck werden einige der wichtigsten, diesbezüglichen von den Päpsten der jüngeren Zeit eingeleiteten Maßnahmen in den Vordergrund gestellt (Montini – Paul VI.; Wojtyła – Johannes Paul II.; Ratzinger – Benedikt XVI.; Bergoglio - Franziskus) und einige der Aktivitäten angedeutet, die derzeit vom Heiligen Stuhl vorangetrieben werden. Damit soll denjenigen, die im Bereich der Planung und Förderung künstlerischer und kultureller Veranstaltungen zu arbeiten beabsichtigen oder sich in diesem Umfeld der Ausbildung und Erziehung widmen wollen, speziell wenn sie dabei mit Monumenten religiöser Art in Berührung kommen, ein Beitrag vorwiegend theoretischer Art geboten werden.

Поэтому, выделены основные меры, принятые последними понтификами (Монтини - Павел VI, Войтыла - Иоанн Павел II, Ратцингер - Бенедикт XVI, Бергольо - Франциск) и описываются некоторые действия, которые предпринимает Святой Престол в настоящее время.
