The Dean’s Office of T. J. Šagi-Bunić in the University, Social, and Ecclesial Context

Autor u radu na temelju dosad neistraženih i izvornih arhivskih dokumenata istražuje, prikazuje i osvjetljava položaj i ulogu dekana Katoličkoga bogoslovnog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu Tomislava Janka Šagi-Bunića, koju je imao tijekom osam dekanskih mandata na razini Fakulteta, a dijelom i na razini Crkve, Sveučilišta i društva te njihova međuodnosa. Rad je podijeljen u nekoliko međusobno povezanih cjelina unutar kojih su sustavno obrađeni pojedini dekanski mandati preko kojih pratimo aktivnosti i djelovanje dekana Šagi-Bunića na Fakultetu i izvan njega. Nekoć koncilski perit na Drugome vatikanskom koncilu profesor Šagi-Bunić kao dekan pokazuje izrazitu koncilsku, dijalošku osjetljivost, otvorenost i raspoloživost kako unutar konzervativnih tako i unutar progresivnih strujanja na Fakultetu, u društvu i Crkvi. Autor u radu dolazi do zaključka da je dekan Šagi-Bunić bio uvijek vođen načelom dijaloga koji je bio neophodan, osobito u ponekad veoma složenim i zamršenim odnosima unutar Fakulteta (ostavke i upravna kriza) te u odnosu Fakulteta prema Sveučilištu (distanca i reintegracija).On the basis of original archival materials that have not been researched until now, in this article the author presents more clearly the position and role of the dean of the Catholic Faculty of Theology of the University of Zagreb (KBF), Tomislav Janko Šagi-Bunić. Šagi-Bunić held that office, at the KBF, but also at the level of the Church, the University and society, as well as their mutual relations, for eight mandates. The article has been divided in a few mutually related parts that analyse systematically on individual dean’s mandates through which the author followed activities of thedean Šagi-Bunić at the Faculty and outside of it. At one point a peritus at the Second Vatican Council, professor Šagi-Bunić as a dean showed extremely conciliar and dialogical sensibility, openness, and availability both for the conservative and for the progressive streams within the Faculty, in society, and in the Church. In this article the author reached the conclusion that dean Šagi-Bunić was always led by the principle of dialogue that was necessary, especially in sometimes very complex relations within the Faculty (resignations and the management crisis) and in relation of the Faculty towards the University (distance and reintegration)
