Objectives. This paper explores the anthropological difference through the analysis of bringing rescue. To bring rescue to the other should be founded on the recognition of his suffering. But in many cases, this recognition is faulty and is based on a misunderstanding of animal/insect world. Material and methods. Through a case study of two famous literary texts in which a human-beetle relationship appears (authored by F. Kafka and W. Gombrowicz), at the crossing of philosophy and poetry, the author of the article tries to approach as close as possible the experience of a trans-humanist rescue attempt.Results and Conclusions. The metamorphosis effectuates a true displacement in the relationship between man and animal but what Kafka describes is not the transfiguration of man into a beetle but rather the metamorphosis that affects the family.

The issue of the word sunnah’s content that is the subject to various researches in the modern period also has been discussed in the classical methodology books in a certain frame. The subject of sunnah’s content has been usually discussed in these books in connection with some forms used by companions and successors in the narrations. There is a conflict among the scholars about how to understand these narrations which used inside it absolute sunnah, amr and nahi words. Most of the scholars think that these narrations are like the elevated hadith while a group of scholars whose majority was occurred by Hanafi jurists opposed this opinion. When the evidences are examined, it seems that the main difference between them is their assumption about companions’ general attitude in the transmission. In addition, it should be taken into consideration that jurists’ understandings about accepting the companions’ words as evidence lead to their opinion about involving companions in sunnah. The different evaluations of these words have had a significant impact on provisions given by the sects in certain issues. When these discussions are taken into consideration it is understood that considering some clues is important for reaching the most accurate result.

But, expectations of students are not limited to religious education from Qur'an courses. One of them is counseling service. Expectations that gain visibility out of the religious field show themselves more at social and psychological -Individual and family- levels. In this study, the functions of Qoran courses are discussed as an institution providing counseling services for the psychological and family problems of adult female students. What kind of contributions can be made for the problems of the students of the Qur'an courses are discussed based on the information given by the Qur'an course instructors.

The Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy was characterized by a confessional diversity and a sinuous relationship between the State and the Churches in its territories. A key player on the scene of numerous political events in the dualist period was the ecclesiastical elite. These leaders of different churches often found themselves in a position of precarious balance, placed at the boundary between the loyalty to their confession, nationality and political views. Starting from these premises, the present study proposes a critical reexamination of the relation between the high Romanian Orthodox cleric and the believers they were guiding, through the perspective of the pastoral letters sent out with the occasion of Christmas and the Easter holidays. We consider these messages of the hierarchs to reveal new sides of the complex relationships between the national Churches and the Hungarian State, highlighting the attempts at dialogue, as well as the common / separate goals of the two actors, seeing the need to avoid the disastrous consequences of World War I.

The Sanctuary of Dolorous Mother of God in Skrzatusz has been famous from its beginnings of many graces given thanks to the intercession of Mary. And from its beginning in the 16th century there have been gathered testimonies of healings. The Church already in the 17th century established a theological commission, which workings allowed to recognize their miraculous character. Could we also nowadays, using the criteria worked out by the fundamental theology, recognize miraculous healings which took place in Skrzatusz? The history and the present of that place can encourage as to talk of fama signorum (the fame of signs), which means a common conviction of special graces of God provided in that place. However, contemporary healings to be recognized by the authorities of the Church need to be better documented and medically verified, and also there need to be a theological commission constituted.

Revelations in Fatima are unique in the history of the apparitions and the only one of this kind in Marian apparitions, because the reality they refer to is unique in the history of mankind. John Paul II called them “the message of the age”, saying that it was even more up to date and more urgent than ever. Mary appeared six times to three children: Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta in Fatima, and then Lucia twice in Pontevedra, and while she continually called for the development of spiritual life, voluntary return to God, to make atonement for all sins against the Heart of Jesus and Mary. This request of Mary still needs fulfillment, so that the world can experience unity and peace.

The topic of Fatima Revelations has been considered in many aspects, from a theological and spiritual reflection to phenomenological and psychological analyses. Any research over Fatima in the theological aspect call for discovering what is essential in the message of the revelations, their sometimes latent common denominator, and their whole content. Such a fundament allows for seeing a God’s plan embraced in the message and understanding it as an integral proclamation.The latest studies suggest that there are three common features of all Fatima Revelations. The first of them is light, which in sister Lucia’s reflections becomes Light, since “Light was God”. Children, immersed in the light, begin to take part in divine mysteries and transform into His image and likeness. The second feature of the core of the Fatima message is the topic of The Immaculate Heart of Mary. This heart becomes a gateway to a better future, a source of holiness, a vessel of grace mighty enough to wash away every sin. In the very last thoughts of sister Lucia appears one more feature, i.e. the immense Divine Being, biblical “I am who I am” (interestingly enough, John Paul II during the beatification solemnities of Francisco and Jacinta compared the experience of Fatima children to the experience of Moses). Moreover, the Divine Being is a Form of Providence, planning the salvation of the world.The three topics convey the same message, they are invitations to enter the mistery of God, to unite with Him. A Christian heart is crucial to this unity, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary presents the perfect union with the Heart of the Saviour – living in the Divine Light.

2017 is the time of jubilees related to the Marian devotion in Poland and in the world. In the universal Church, the 100th anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima is on the forefront. In Poland this year we also recall the 300th anniversary of the coronation of the image of Our Lady at Jasna Góra (1717) and the 140th anniversary of the Marian apparitions in Gietrzwałd (1877). The anniversary of the coronation of the image of Our Lady of the Gate of Dawn in Vilnius on July 2, 1927, seems to have been somewhat forgotten. The worship of Our Lady of Mercy goes far beyond the Vilnius Archdiocese. It is also present in the diocese of Koszalin-Kolobrzeg (Kołobrzeg). This article discusses the preparation and conduct of coronation celebrations and presents two related documents.

The article is dedicated to the social aspect of the spiritual life of the Community o Sisters Disciples of the Cross. Analysed texts, from the official documents of the Church up to constitutions of the Community and the letters by its founder show how conventual formation and everyday life influence spiritual growth of the consecrated people. Many quotations from the Constitutions describe life of a Disciple of the Cross. They show a way to God, and to the Community, and to another human. Every sister through adherence to the law and thanks to life in grace can follow the way from the old to the new man, from the heart of stone to the heart of flesh, which means the friendship with God. To a Disciple of the Cross this passage is accomplished by giving her life to those who do not know or even reject God to let them accept His love.

The present text is a reply to the polemic by Adam Fitas with the essay A Reader- Errant (see Ethos 29:4(116) (2016); Ethos 30:1(117) (2017)). The author explains that it was not her intention to deprecate literary fiction, rather, she intended to point to the harmful effects of being addicted to it. The author also expounds her thesis that new addictions, such as Internet addiction, which are considered as resulting from the civilization based on the advances of technology, in fact have the same source as the various forms of addiction known for ages, namely the same weaknesses of the human nature.
