Biogramy wraz z bibliografią podmiotową i przedmiotową duchownych diecezji kieleckiej w Słowniku Polskich Teologów Katolickich. Sprawozdanie z wykonanych prac

Author(s): Andrzej Kwaśniewski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2020

The present report covers the work consisting in compiling biographies of the clergy of the Kielce diocese for the Dictionary of Polish Catholic Theologians. The research began in the 1970s and was published in the form of individual volumes of the dictionary. The first volume was published in 1981. In 2019, the 10th and latest volume was published. Biographies of the clergy from the period of 19th – 21st century were usually prepared by priests belonging to the Kielce scientific community and associated with the Kielce Seminary. In the Middle Ages and in modern times, the area belonging now to the Kielce diocese was part of the Krakow diocese and the Gniezno archdiocese. Biographies of the clergy working in the diocese at that time were usually drawn up by priests not connected with the theological environment active in Kielce. Thanks to the Dictionary, the majority of church writers from the Kielce area who have left behind any publications of scientific value have well documented biographies consisting of a scientific biography supported by primary and secondary sources.

Osoby duchowne i ich odpowiedzialność za przestępstwa seksualne w świetle prawa karnego oraz kanonicznego

Author(s): Anna Więcek-Durańska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 27/2020

The sexual crime of clergy is a controversial phenomenon. The Church is associated with highly developed ethical and moral norms. Until recently, it was common to believe that clergy are excluded from secular responsibility. The article presents the characteristics of criminal and canonical responsibility of clergy. An analysis of the literature indicates that the punishment received by a cleric from one legal system does not relieve or replace the punishment imposed in another system. It can even be said that the cleric is subject to double responsibility. The first under secular law and the second under canon law.

Relations between Christians and Muslims in kadi court registers (sicils) and Franciscan chronicles of the 18th century

Author(s): Dijana Pinjuh / Language(s): English Issue: 7/2021

Based on kadi sicils and Franciscan chronicles, this paper seeks to present a picture of everyday lives of Christians and Muslims during a turbulent period, marked by political turmoil, unrest and general insecurity. Attacks, murders and various other acts of violence were part of everyday life. The ruling class of the time often abused their position and acted beyond their authority, putting additional pressure on the Christian population and further aggravating their social position and security within Eyalet of Bosnia. The efforts of the authorities to protect reaya were only temporarily effective in stopping the violence. The perpetrators of violence were mostly indiscriminate concerning their targets as Muslims were also targeted. Despite unfavorable political circumstances, social and religious differences, Muslims and Christians privately used to help each other, socialize and cooperate.

GRANICE PAŃSTWA KOŚCIELNEGO W II POŁOWIE VIII WIEKU W ŚWIETLE WCZESNYCH ŹRÓDEŁ HISTORYCZNYCH

Author(s): Maciej Dawczyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 58/2019

In 756 as the result of donation made by frankish king Pepin papacy formally controlled duchy of Rome, part of former exarchate of Ravenna (earlier directly submitted to Ravenna), larger part of duchy of the Pentapolis and probably duchy of Perugia. Papacy claimed belonged to Lombards territory of plenaria iustitiae (part of Pentapolis and duchy of Ferrara) as well. In 765 king Desiderius transfered to papacy not plenaria iustitiae but some parts of Tuscany, duchy of Benevento and duchy of Spoleto. In 774 took place frankish intervention which destroyed lombard kingdom. Frankish king Charlemagne conveyed to pope Hadrian I new territories (lombard Tuscany, Corsica, Spoleto, Benevento, Istria, Veneto) and confirmed old donations. However the pope had not possibility to really take over these lands. In 781 as the recompensation king conveyed to Hadrian southern part of Lombard Tuscany, territory of Sabina, part of Campania and confirmed territories in exarchate and Pentapolis. Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily were added as well. In 787 papacy received next part of Campania. Determination of the shape of the territories practically controlled by the pope is very difficult because in many lands there were problems with introduction of real papal reign.

Did Polish Bishops Support Andrzej Duda in the Presidential Campaign in 2020? Analysis of Institutional Messages of the Polish Episcopal Conference

Author(s): Rafał Leśniczak / Language(s): English Issue: 27/2020

The aim of the article is to increase the cognitive value in the area of political communication of Polish bishops during the presidential campaign in Poland in 2020, in particular to answer the question whether the Polish Episcopal Conference supported President Andrzej Duda politically in his candidacy for re-election. The research applied the analysis and synthesis method supplemented with elements of hermeneutics. The Polish Episcopal Conference remained an entity not politically involved at the level of institutional communiqués and did not support any of the candidates applying for the office of President of the Republic of Poland in 2020. The issue for further political and media research remains that of complementary forms of communication of the ecclesial institution and the way of expressing one's own electoral preferences, for example through the Catholic media.

Zasada laickości V Republiki Francuskiej i jej implikacje prawno-polityczne

Author(s): Ewa Szczepankiewicz-Rudzka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 64/2020

The aim of this article is to analyze two aspects of the French principle of the secular state. The article outlines the characteristics of the normative legitimacy of the separation of church and state, focusing on the documents that introduce and specify this principle. It also presents political aspects of the separation of church and state, especially the evolution of its implementation, which has changed along with the dynamics of the social and political context. The presented argumentation will serve to prove the thesis that the French concept of laïcité is not a clear and uniform political principle since its versions may significantly differ.

La “Glose” de Richard Fishacre sur la distinction 26 du premier livre des “Sentences” de Pierre Lombard

Author(s): Fabio Gibiino / Language(s): French Issue: XXVl/2020

This study is devoted to a doctrinal and philological analysis of Richard Fishacre’s commentary on distinction 26 in Pierre Lombard’s first Book of Sentences. The subject of this distinction is the nature of the relationship in the Trinity: how, then, can one speak of a relationship in God while safeguarding its simplicity? To see how Fishacre has resolved this question, we have first supplied the background to this distinction. First, we looked at the doctrine of relationship according to St. Augustine, being the author who bequeathed to posterity the language and reflection to resolve objections against simplicity and divine immutability. Next, we have analysed the contributions of Peter Abelard and Gilbert de la Porrée, because, even within their limits, they marked a turning point in Trinitarian speculation with the use of dialectics and metaphysics. We have continued our study, dwelling on Fishacre’s Trinitarian reflection and how, having in mind the difficulty Gilbert de la Porrée found himself in, he proposed an identity relationship of the subsisting relation (quod est) to the essence (quo est). We concluded our study with the figure of Thomas Aquinas to show, in the ten years that separated them, not only the evolution of the literary genre of the commentary of the Sentences, but a more mature and rigorous elaboration of the Trinitarian doctrine. Finally, the influence exerted by Hugues de Saint-Cher on Fishacre led us to transcribe Hugues’ commentary and show the differences and autonomy of Fishacre. After having collated the 10 handwritten witnesses for the first book of Sentences, philological analysis enabled us firstly to note a common archetype and secondly to identify two branches of the textual tradition, one of which (Ω) proved to be closer to the archetype than the text of the Ψ model.

Fundamentum doctrine Joachim. U początków badań nad wizją dziejów opata z Fiore

Author(s): Jan Grzeszczak / Language(s): Polish Issue: XXVl/2020

The article presents the first attempt at a comprehensive and critical view on the vision of the history of Joachim of Fiore (1135–1202), that is, the so-called “Protocol of Anagni” from the mid-13th century, a collection of the results of a papal commission convened by Alexander IV to examine the case of the Franciscan theologian Gerard of Borgo San Donnino. An analysis of a fragment of the “Protocol”, where the papal theologians presented the foundations of the doctrine of Joachim of Fiore, the Calabrian Abbot, was carried out. Attention was drawn to a precise selection of works by Joachim of Fiore, which the commission used to research the legacy of this author in the doctrinal aspect. Both the selection of the fragments of works by Joachim of Fiore, as well as the relatively brief period of time of a mere several dozen years after his death, make the Protocol of Anagni compelling research material, which cannot be overlooked in the study of Joachim’s legacy. This is the first in-depth and, more importantly, source-based presentation and critical assessment of the historical and theological vision of this 12th-century author, one that is astonishing in its vitality, stretching from the Middle Ages to modern times.

(NON)RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE CONTEMPORARY UNDERSTANDING OF FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE AND RELIGION

Author(s): Rafał Prostak / Language(s): English Issue: 71/2021

Nowadays, liberty of conscience as an inalienable right is a standard of demoliberal constitutionalism. It is an obvious component of a well-organized society and state. However, at the very beginning of its presence in the political discourse, it was more a product of Christian theology (the free conscience perceived as a gift of God) than a legal category; more an endowment of divinity than an intrinsic human value. In the contemporary, secularized world, our understanding of freedom of religion includes not only free exercise of religion but also freedom from religion. An increasing number of non-believers changes our expectations of the state that is obliged to protect the freedom of conscience of all citizens regardless of their beliefs. The goal of the article is to consider the difficulties faced by people with a theistic worldview in the reality of a state founded on the principle of ideological neutrality.

THE THEOLOGY OF CARL SCHMITT

Author(s): György Geréby / Language(s): English Issue: 72/2021

The paper addresses the theology of Carl Schmitt. Schmitt often stresses his ‘natural born Catholicism.’ At the same time he also claims repeatedly not to be a theologian in the professional sense. On the other hand, his main ideas like the concept of the political (Der Begriff des Politischen), the public character of the church (Römischer Katholizimus und politische Form), and finally, his Politische Theologie II in reaction to Erik Peterson’s refutation of Politische Theologie I show that Schmitt’s ideas imply deep and problematic theological positions. The role of the katechon, or the Grand Inquisitor and his criticism of Peterson’s patristic arguments, especially the rejection of the anti-Arian reasoning of Gregory Nazianzen show a markedly unorthodox theological stance reminiscent of Charles Maurras’ political Catholicism. Schmitt’s transcends patristic orthodoxy in order to apply his historically conditioned 19th-century theology to sacralizing his idea of the political.

Implementacja posynodalnej adhortacji apostolskiej Amoris laetitia papieża Franciszka w duszpasterstwie związków nieregularnych w diecezji płockiej

Author(s): Wojciech Kućko / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2020

The publication of the post-synodal Apostolic Exhortation Amoris laetitia in the spring of 2016 met with a response in the Diocese of Płock. The main purpose of the article is to describe how the papal guidelines were implemented in the diocese regarding non-sacramental relationships and marriages. The text briefly presents the history of the pastoral care of non-sacramental marriages in Mazovia and then discusses the contemporary forms of accompanying people in irregular situations in light of the paradigm of Pope Francis, expressed in the verbs: accept – accompany – discern – integrate. In the Diocese of Płock, this was expressed not only in the establishment of a new Department for Families in the diocesan curia and the creation of new pastoral structures for non-sacramental marriages, which the pope called “irregular” situations or relationships but also in theological and pastoral reflection undertaken among pastors and laypeople. This issue was developed in a special way in the document Vademecum of Pastoral Care of People Living in Irregular Unions in the Diocese of Płock from 2018, prepared by those responsible for the pastoral care of families and signed by the bishop of Płock. The document was an attempt to implement the teaching of the pope in the conditions of the Church of Płock. The Diocese of Płock is the only diocese in Poland to date to undertake the task of a practical, pastoral confrontation of the indications of the Amoris laetitia exhortation in the pastoral reality. The Vademecum text contains numerous specific answers to the questions of how people living in various types of irregular relationships can participate in the life of the parish and what forms of participation in the community of the Church are unavailable to them for various reasons.

СТРУКТУРА КАНОНА НА ЈУТРЕЊУ НА ПРИМЕРУ "СЛУЖБЕ СВЕТОМ ПАТРИЈАРХУ ЈЕФРЕМУ"

Author(s): Đorđe Lazarević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 73/2020

The paper shows the connection between the Biblical canticles and canons at orthros, the most important and most solemn part of this church service, through the example of The Service to Holy Patriarch Jefrem by the medieval poet, bishop Marko Pećki. The analysis of the structure of canon at orthros, a liturgical hymn that belongs to the corpus of old Serbian literature, indicates the possibilities of connecting the Biblical text with Serbian medieval texts and its influence on them. Connecting Biblical canticles with the hymns of canon is achieved through irmos, an introductory stanza inspired by the contents of the Holy Bible which links the events from the hagiography with the basic meaning of the Biblical text.

60. rocznica pielgrzymki prymasa Polski kard. Stefana Wyszyńskiego do Barda (1959–2019)

Author(s): Mirosław Grakowicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 17/2019

The article presents a pilgrimage of the Polish Primate, cardinal Stefan Wyszyński to the sanctuary of Our Lady Guardian of the Holy Faith in Bardo. The pilgrimage took place in 15th August 1959 i.e. in the Assumption Day. The Primate’s pilgrimage was greatly celebrated in the Lower Silesia churches, the more so because of growing intense fight of the communist authorities against the Catholic Church at that period. For the better understanding of the historical context of the cardinal Wyszyński’s pilgrimage, firstly, complicated Church history of western Poland after the second world war is discussed. It is also impossible to understand the personal and pastoral aspects of the Primate’s pilgrimage without at least cursory knowledge of his devotion to the Mother of Christ. The second part of the article is devoted to this issue. In the third one a short history of the Bardo sanctuary is presented. The four point describes the Primate’s pilgrimage on the basis available archival sources followed by the personal note of the cardinal Wyszyński concerning the pilgrimage in the final point.

The crisis of values in present-day society and public life

Author(s): Monika Malmon / Language(s): English Issue: 17/2019

The 21st century is an age of post-modernism and, as Chantal Delsol maintains, it is a descendant of the French Enlightenment and its continuator together with the change in attitude to society and values held by it. The terror (communism, fascism, Nazism) experienced in the 20th century reigns no longer and democracy, which has successfully replaced terror, has achieved more than when physical force was applied to citizens. Inconvenient ideas are coped with in post-modernism by using irony, ridicule or by discrediting the values which a given group upholds. In this way, the individual is uprooted, torn from the world, from a definite social group, in order to make it happy. This state would consist in the fact that the modern individual would dispose itself of its particularity for a universality, wishing to become a human being, citizen of the world and not a man or woman. Post-modernism propagates, as did at one time the French Revolution, an ideal of equality which is to realize itself in the gender ideology. The thesis of the paper concerns the influence of revolutionary and evolutionary factors on the decline of values in present-day public life.

Powody zmian zapisów kanonów w I księdze Normy ogólne i w materialnym prawie małżeńskim Kodeksu prawa kanonicznego wprowadzonych na mocy motu proprio De concordia inter Codices

Author(s): Ginter Dzierżon / Language(s): Polish Issue: 18/2020

In the presented study, the subject of the author’s attention was the issue of the reasons for changes in the canons in the area of the 1st Book General Norms and the material marriage law of the Code of Canon Law introduced under the motu proprio De concordia inter Codices. By analyzing the content of the motu proprio he showed that the first reason was the desire to fill in the legal loopholes appearing in the Code of Canon Law with reference to the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches of 1990. As the second reason he recognized the migration process of the modern population, including the faithful who belong to the Eastern Catholic Churches. In his opinion, the legislator, through making clear and good law, wanted to make it easier for them to adapt to the new and often difficult reality.
