In this paper we consider the problem of the possibility of introducing a theologically legitimate gradation within God’s attributes.

520 |a In this paper we consider the problem of the possibility of introducing a theologically legitimate gradation within God’s attributes. We focus on the attribute of mercy and ask if the claim, originally stated by Sr. Faustina Kowalska, indicating mercy as the greatest attribute of God, can be justified on systematic theological grounds. We first examine two classical attempts to solve the problem, proposed by M. Sopoćko and I. Różycki, taking into account their specific theological-historical context. Then, we propose two new solutions, which we call contemporary approaches as they are based on philosophical-theological considerations of H. U. von Balthasar and J. Tischner regarding an analogous question considered by them in the context of transcendentals. Finally, we conclude by presenting yet another interpretation of the solvability of this problem based on the exploration of its paradoxical character.
