Język liturgiczny Ordynariatów Personalnych dla byłych anglikanów. Zarys ogólny

Author(s): Wiktor Pskit / Language(s): Polish Issue: 6/2020

The paper presents some basic features of the language of Divine Worship: The Missal (2015), the liturgical book of the recently established Ordinariates for former Anglicans. It discusses the historical sources of the text of the Ordinariate missal. The linguistic characteristics of Divine Worship is shown on the basis of a comparison with corresponding texts in the current English translation of the Roman Missal. The comparison makes it possible to demonstrate that the language of the Ordinariate liturgy is a highly hieratic (sacral) variety of English in the sense of Mohrmann (1959, 1968), Crystal (1964, 1990) and the Vatican instruction Liturgiam authenticam (2001). The relevant hieratic style is a direct contribution of the Anglican Patrimony to the contemporary Roman liturgy.

Przemiany nabożeństwa drogi krzyżowej w XX wieku w świetle teorii aktów mowy (wybrane aspekty)

Author(s): Agnieszka Sieradzka-Mruk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 6/2020

The paper describes changes which occurred in service of Stations of the Cross during the last century. The analysis is based on Searle’s classification of illocutionary acts and Bühler-Jakobson’s theory of speech functions. Illocutionary force is considered as one of the specific features of a speech genre (so called pragmatic aspect). Material of the study includes 100 Polish texts of Stations of the Cross service published during the first half of the 20th century and 100 contemporary texts of the devotional practice (after the II Vatican Council). The frequency of appearance and significance of different speech acts have changed in the analyzed period. It may be noted, inter alia, reduction of the role of expressive acts, and at the same time increase of the role of directive acts. Clearly less attention is paid to declarational act of gaining of the indulgences. However, basic set of speech acts in the devotion hasn’t changed and in this sense we can speak of stability of devotion of Stations of the Cross.

Postmoderný apokryf Pétera Esterházyho: „Jednoduchý príbeh čiarka sto strán – verzia podľa Marka“

Author(s): Judit Görözdi / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2020

Questions concerning God and creation are constants in the prozaic work of Péter Eszterházy and constitute a topic which the author approaches mainly through the prism of an individual confronted with historical circumstance. This study is a reading of the novel Egyszerűtörténet vessző száz oldal – a Márk-változat (A Simple Story Comma One Hundred Pages – the Mark Version, 2014), which portrays the dark communist 1950’s in Hungary via paraphrasing of the gospel. The concern here is mainly with aspects of the textual expressionof religious experience, which includes philosophical and phenomenological questions about the possibilities of articulation and expression of the individual (emotional) testimony of faith. The analysis looks at perspectives as represented by the two main characters. The one represents silence as the true communicational space for the relationship with the transcendent, the other represents the alternative of a linguistic approach (writing a story about God asimitation, as a ritual mastery, as betrayal). The study approaches the historical circumstances of the narrative as a theodicy, i.e. as an attempt to understand the meaning of the passion story in the broader context of human history.

Obraz transcendentného domova v diele Jana Čepa

Author(s): Ján Gallik / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2020

The Czech writer, essayist and translator Jan Čep (1902–1974), whose work displays his Catholic orientation, is considered to be one of the most original and thoughtful Czech Christian thinkers. This interpretation of selected works by Čep aims to build on existing research, to deepen the views of his artistic language and imagery, and to analyse the means of expression created by the author’ s philosophical-reflexive and meditative lyrism, often alluding to a contemplative position. In a special way, the metaphysical image of the dual home (first homeas a temporary dwelling for earthly existence, which is the image and parable of the second – permanent – home in heaven) emerges from the poetics constituted in this way (based on both artistic and spiritual vision of the world), which thematically reads from Čep’ s transcendent experience. In this analysis, the phenomenological view appears to be an adequate methodological approach alongside literary interpretation.

Волтер и Русо у Дидроовим писмима

Author(s): Milan N. Janjić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 21/2020

The aim of this paper is to present themes of Diderot’s letters sent to Voltaire and Rousseau. The main research corpus includes letters from the fifth volume of Diderot’s selected works (Correspondance, 1997), edited by Laurent Versini, the French expert for the 18th century. Today we have only five letters sent to Rousseau in 1757, and seven to Voltaire, the first from 1749, and the last from 1773. In addition, the letters about Rousseau and Voltaire which Diderot sent to other addressees will also be considered in this analysis. Apart from the personal correspondence, an instructive insight will also be given by referring to Diderot’s other writings, in which the author, directly or indirectly, mentions Voltaire and Rousseau. While interpreting that in this article, a closer and more precise definition of professional, collegial and/or friendly relations among the three famous intellectuals of the French Enlightenment, will be discovered.

Интертекстуалност у Доментијановом Житију Светога Саве

Author(s): Sara N. Nemat / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 21/2020

Intertextuality is considered to be a contemporary tendency in literature. However, based on the conducted research, it has been confirmed that intertextual connections are present in Serbian mediaeval literary works. This work attempts to illuminate Domentian's Life of Saint Sava in an intertextual manner. The main goals of the paper are: to point out the intertextual links in Domentian's Life of Saint Sava, to identify their sources and the manner of manifestation of citation, and to confirm the thesis of intertextuality as one of the poetic features of mediaeval literature. In this way, we have established a dialogic relationship between the old and the new, that is, between mediaeval and contemporary literature.

РАЗВОЈ НАТУРИЗМА У ЈУГОСЛАВИЈИ НА ПРИМЕРУ КОВЕРСАДЕ (1961–1981)

Author(s): Aleksandar Raković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2020

Based on Yugoslav tabloid, church, tourist, naturist, hotel and catering, and entertainment press, as well as archives from the Tourist Association of Yugoslavia and other relevant literature, the paper talks about the development of naturism in Yugoslavia on the example of Koversada and the position of the communist authorities and the Roman Catholic Church regarding the 13th Congress of the International Naturist Federation at Camp Koversada in 1972 and the social circumstances that led to Vrsar, HTP Anita, and Koversada naturist camp, and with them socialist Yugoslavia, becoming one of the centers of world naturism.

Violation of universal human rights and persecution of the Serbian orthodox church in Montenegro during the COVID-19 epidemic

Author(s): Dejan M. Mirović / Language(s): English,Serbian Issue: 3/2020

At the end of 2019, the Law on the Freedom of Religion was adopted in Montenegro, causing protests and mass litanies from December 2019 to March 2020. After the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, the authorities in Podgorica actually abolished the freedom of assembly and the freedom of religion. Thus the authorities in Montenegro, under the pretext of the urgent social need or public health protection, acted disproportionally and inappropriately during the epidemic. That was the violation of the international conventions guaranteeing universal protection of the freedom of religion and the regulations prohibiting discrimination. The COVID-19 epidemic was used by the authorities to clamp down on the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro for the purpose of establishing the non-canonical Montenegrin Orthodox Church, expropriating the church property and imposing the provisions of the illegitimate and illegal Law on the Freedom of Religion.

Dokumente për vakëfet / vakëfnametë në Arkivin e Kosovës

Author(s): Hatixhe Ahmedi / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 1-2/2018

In the archives of Kosovo, in addition to the multitude of funds and other collections, there is also a collection of documents in the Ottoman language. These documents amount to nearly 3,000 and represent a fund of significant value to our past.Among these documents are two endowments: The endowment of Mehmed Pasha Kaçanik legalized in 1608, which is also the oldest document preserved in the Archives of Kosovo, and the Endowment of Beqirzade Hasan efendi son of Abdullah Sipahi legalized in 1918 for waqfs in the neighborhood IljasKuka in Prizren.In this collection there is also a large number of documents, mainly of the last years of the Ottoman administration in our country, which have to do with the revenues and expenditures of the waqfs of many institutions of the time, such as mosques, madrasas, etc., and which we think are of interest to be observed.On the other hand, one of the main tasks of the Kosovo Archive is to bring copies of documents related to the national history of Kosovo through foreign cooperation. In this regard, the Kosovo Archive has increased its funds by accessing the Turkish archives, bringing a significant number of endowments in digitized form related to our country. The above-mentioned original endowments will be considered in our paper.

L’ideologia universalista: la sottomissione della Chiesa locale alla Chiesa universale?

Author(s): Adam Pastorczyk / Language(s): Italian Issue: 2/2020

Although more than half a century has passed since the adoption of the dogmatic constitution on the Church at the Second Vatican Council, a discussion continues in the Catholic Church and in ecumenical discussions about the correct interpretation of the conciliar expression „Ecclesia in et ex Ecclesiis”. The subject of this article, therefore, is an analysis of the conciliar and post-conciliar teaching of the Catholic Church and the ongoing theological discussion on the mutual relationship of the universal Church and the local Church.

Sztuka, twórczość artystyczna i modlitwa

Author(s): Janusz Królikowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2020

One of the key questions with which contemporary theology has to deal is providing support for art, so that it could perform its tradition-honoured role of a „mediator” in relation between man and God. Works of art, especially paintings, have proven their unquestionable value in this respect more than once. The unique role of paintings finds its manifestation particularly in prayer which constitutes a privileged place of meeting between man and God. Artistic creativity in its internal dynamism may constitute substantial aid in this respect, since it not only provides the believers with actual visualisations of religious themes, but also conveys the example for man of how to go beyond oneself, which plays the fundamental role in religion and spirituality.

Islam, Catholicism, and Religion-State Separation: An Essential or Historical Difference?

Author(s): Ahmet T. Kuru / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

There exist severe restrictions over religious dissent in most Muslim-majority countries. This problem is associated with the alliance between religious and political authorities in these cases. I argue that the alliance between Islamic scholars (the ulema) and the state authorities was historically constructed, instead of being a characteristic of Islam. Hence, the essentialist idea that Islam inherently rejects religion-state separation, whereas Christianity endorses it, is misleading. Instead, this article shows that the ulema-state alliance in the Muslim world was constructed after the mid-eleventh century, as well as revealing that the church-state separation in Western Europe was also historically institutionalized during that period. Using comparative-historical methods, the article explains the political and socioeconomic backgrounds of these epochal transformations. It particularly focuses on the relations between religious, political, intellectual, and economic classes.

New Religious-Nationalist Trends among Jewish Settlers in the Halutza Sands

Author(s): Hayim Katsman / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

This article describes the religious worldview of the residents of three rural villages, established since 2010 in Southern Israel. Focusing on religious authority, the article traces the complex relationship between rabbis to their communities which is rarely a simple “top-down” traditional authority model. On the contrary, both the rabbis and their communities are aware of the fragility of their relationship, and therefore created a complex belief system in which the rabbis’ recommendation is sought, but not necessarily considered binding. In addition, the article describes the “Datlshim” (Hebrew acronym for “Ex-religious”). This liminal identity characterizes individuals who grew up within these religious communities but decided to dissent in their adulthood. They do not feel committed to, and sometimes openly reject Jewish religious code. The article contributes to the scholarly understanding of religious authority, as well as the diversity within the religious-Zionist community in Israel, which has become increasingly influential is Israeli politics and society.

Культурно-просветительская деятельность Иоанна, Евгения и Владимира Хлебцевичей на территории православного прихода Вознесения Господня в Клейниках в начале ХХ века

Author(s): Adrian Kuprianowicz / Language(s): Russian Issue: 12/2020

The beginnings of the 20th century in the orthodox Parish of the Holy Ascension in Kleyniki are associated with the active commitment of the Chlebcewicz family. Their presence and activity in the Klejniki parish left a significant trace in shaping the mentality and awareness of the inhabitants of the village and its surroundings. Jan, Evgeny and Vladimir Chlebcewicz were precursors in their actions and intentions They were many years ahead of the era in which they lived. Twenty years Jan Chlebcewicz spent in Klejniki were marked by intensive pastoral work, social activity and great effort devoted in particular to the development of the orthodox – parochial education and the opening of several orthodox – parochial schools as well as a library with a reading room. Evgeny Chlebcewicz was an exceptionally intelligent man with a spiritual and religious upbringing as well as a perfect erudite. He was interested in literature, folklore and history. Vladimir Chlebcewicz participated in the February revolution in 1917 in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg), where he died in the bloody riots. The ethnographic sketch describing the village of Kleyniki before World War I “Sielo Kleyniki pered bezhenstvom – vo vremia mirovoy voyny” is one of his most important works in which he draws a picture of simple life of local parishioners.

K otázke vplyvu protestantizmu na kult svätcov sakrálnych stavieb na príklade dvoch susedných lokalít (v meste Krupina a obci Žibritov)

Author(s): Miroslav Lukáč / Language(s): Slovak Issue: Supplement/2020

The counties (comitatus) of Hont and Zvolen – Hungarian administrative historical regions – were affected by the reformation as early as in the first third of the 16th century. As time went on, a number of urban and rural parishes, or initially clerical estates, passed into the hands of Protestant landlords and the residents changed their religious denomination accordingly. The original Catholic churches – built in the majority of these places and having a particular patron – lost their character of places of worship. The cult of the church´s patron saints deteriorated or was ignored. In some localities, it ceased to exist, was transformed or completely changed. In some places, the Catholic landlords regained possession of Protestant communities (Lutherans). This fact could have had and in some cases it surely had an impact on the revival of the same or a different cult. The paper deals with this issue, using the example of sacral buildings of two neighbouring sites, namely the town of Krupina and the village of Žibritov. The author of this paper observes that Protestants did not have any direct influence on the change of patrociniums. It is only possible to talk about an indirect influence (in terms of slipping quietly into oblivion, ignorance or a total absence in documents). Changes in patrociniums or multiple modifications of inventory in the sacral buildings (altars) were only possible due to the recatholisation efforts of the administrator in the parish of Krupina (the parish priest) and the landlord in the village of Žibritov (the Koháry family).

Лицата на благодатта и спасителните стратегии в "Призоваването на Всеки"

Author(s): Slava Yanakieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 26/2020

Although medieval presentational genres are often defined as part of the popular religious culture, they often demonstrate sufficient, if not superb, capability for dramatizing important and complex doctrinal cases. What is more, this very capability could be considered as a marker of dramatic excellence. Despite the fact that The Somonyng of Everyman (XVI c.) is in its entirety, not an original dramatic text (being a relatively close translation of the Dutch Elckerlijc), it deserves critical admiration for its theological embodiment. This article aims to focus on some specific examples of such an embodiment while taking into account the theatrical faculties of the text.
