A humanizmus az igei tudomány szolgálatában (IV)

Author(s): Dezső Buzogány / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 4/2020

A syllogism (Greek: συλλογισμός – “conclusion, inference”) is a kind of logical argument that applies deductive reasoning to arrive at a conclusion based on two or more propositions that are asserted or assumed to be true. Aristotle defines the syllogism as “a discourse in which certain (specific) things having been supposed, something different from the things supposed results of necessity because these things are so”. The Aristotelian syllogism dominated Western philosophical thought for many centuries in the Middle Ages. But the history of syllogistic thinking does not end with the Middle Ages. It continued to be used even by the church reformers of the 16th century. Thus, alongside a dialectic way of thinking, it contributed to the development of the new dogmatics coined by the church reformers in the 16th century.

Излагање исповедања и вере (Προεκθεσις ομολογίας και πιστεως) од преподобног Никите Ститата

Author(s): Radomir Popović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2017

The venerable Nicetas Stethatos lived and worked in a very difficult period for the Church of Christ. He was a very fruitful theologian writer. The most frequent themes in his writings are dogmatic issues popular in the time he wrote. On the Confession of Faith is a very significant work, in which the author expresses his Orthodox faith, written in accordance with his past experience. Theology must be experimental and experienced to be a true celebration of God. That is why — in this modest contribution to the history of the Christian Church — the Orthodox faith in Constantinople in the mid-11th century was translated into Serbian with a comparative original.

Vita consacrata come opera dello Spirito Santo

Author(s): Leszek Poleszak / Language(s): Italian Issue: 1/2021

Consecrated life born from the God’s initiative should be considered in the charismatic perspective. Holy Spirit, who works in the Church, not only stands at the beginning of each institute of the consecrated life, but has been the source of countless blessings and positive fruits throughout the centuries. Consecrated life manifests itself as the always changing reality which under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit brings about many fruits. In the article one can find the explanation for Trinitarian dimension of the presence of the Paraclete in the consecrated life: Firstly in the vocation of a human to sainthood, secondly in the charism of the particular institute or form of the consecrated life. Finally thanks to these dimensions mentioned above one can easily discover another one, which is the charismatic form of living within the Church.

Boże Serce w misterium swojego otwarcia na współczesny świat

Author(s): Eugeniusz Ziemann / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2021

Is the reverence and cult of the Sacred Heart of Jesus still topical in the mission of the Church? The text „God’s Heart in the mystery of its opening to the modern world” is an attempt to answer the question above. Biblical depiction of the word „heart” has basically symbolic and allegoric meaning. Repeatedly this word appears in connection with the word „love” both in regard to God and human. Incarnated God, the Word of the Father, became truly human with the loving heart and he redeemed the world. The Heart of Jesus pierced with the soldier’s spear on the cross is still open to the present day with his love. A special place in this regard is given to spreading the idea of the social kingdom of the Heart of Jesus and the civilization of love.

Formacja do ślubu ubóstwa w Prowincji Polskiej Zgromadzenia Księży Najświętszego Serca Jezusowego

Author(s): Leszek Poleszak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2021

Formation towards the vow of poverty is one of the elements of the preparation of consecrated persons aimed at living according to evangelical counsels. In the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus all three vows are inscribed in the figure of reparation characteristic for the Institute as well as oblation dimension which underlines total devotion to God through religious consecration. The documents of the Congregation besides the goals and various aspects of formation also set out the essence of the vow of poverty, encouraging life with its spirit. The goal of formation is to shape the heart of a religious person, who supposed to more and more reflect in himself the way of life of the poor which was chosen by Jesus Christ. That formation has also the community dimension, through which the religious community should become a witness of non-remissive goods and thus its prophetic dimension.

Megjegyzések a nemiség drámáját illetően (1.)

Author(s): Mátyás Szalay / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2020

This philosophical meditation on the drama of bodily existence and sexual identity intends to explain and complement the reflection of Ricardo Aldana, who considered these issues from the Communio-theology point of view represented by Hans Urs von Balthasar and Adrienne von Speyr. The main claim to be exposed and phenomenologically corroborated is that the horizon of correctly interpreting the phenomenon of bodily existence is an existential and dramatic encounter with the Trinitarian reality. The context of an adequate response to one’s unique and sexual bodily existence is predetermined by Mary’s “Fiat!” and Christ’s redemptive sacrifice; these two yeses to divine love created the possibility for a radical freedom to embrace creation when it comes to the gift of bodily existence. The dramatic nature of our fundamental relationship with the body is characterized in two steps: first, by analyzing the paradoxes of how the body is given to us; and second, by argu- ing that the drama of being exposed to bodily existence can lead us through bodily self-gift (sacrification) and care for the (bodily existing) other to the discovery and contemplative appreciation of the body.

Megjegyzések a nemiség drámáját illetően (2.)

Author(s): Mátyás Szalay / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2020

Our personal relationship with the body might rightly be characterized as dramatic. This implies the free choice between two radically different fundamental attitudes towards bodily existence. The consequences of this or that fundamental disposition are articulated in all spheres of life: religious, social, political, and cultural. Our contemporary society with its commodity fetishism and disregard not only towards being but even existence tries to avoid the real drama in which happiness as a divine- human community is at stake. Yet our bodily existence with its limitations unavoidably confronts us with personal and existential questions on how we deal with the tension between temporality and eternity, the visible and invisible realm of reality, the fundamental human desire to become more than human. When encountering the mystery that we remain for ourselves as humans, our response entails a choice either to reject the reality of bodily existence by enhancing it (transhumanism), or, on the contrary to acknowledge the gift character of the body (theosis).

Шта је то тајно у Светим тајнама? – историја и генеза једног поимања –

Author(s): Aleksandar D. Čavka / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2014

The Holy Sacraments are among the most basic Christian concepts, although the current understanding of the Sacraments is mainly related to ritual action. That is an action which is considered especially religious. The question asked is whether this understanding was the same within the ancient Church and how sacramental consciousness developed throughout different periods in the life of the Church? The author points to the fact that the message of early sacramentology is without a doubt soteriological, which finds its form in the person of Christ and that the earliest sacramental concept has a clear foundation, which is Christ, the original Sacrament. He then writes about the relationship and mutual influence of pagan cults and Christian Sacraments. The author searches for archetypes of the Sacraments among the Old Testament. He elucidates that writings from the post-apostolic church fathers readily and extensively used that typology while speaking of the Sacraments and of Christ. During the apostolic and post-apostolic period, a definitional form could not be found for the Sacraments and so, certain holy fathers attempted to at least partially explain the sacramental reality. In view of that, part of the work is dedicated to the sacramental understanding of certain holy fathers and modern theologians.

Литургија и мистицизам: искуство Бога у источном православном хришћанству

Author(s): Alexander Golitzin / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2-3/2008

The Covenant at Sinai is the core experience of God in the Old Testament, and the heart and foundation for the New Testament writings, which are founded on Christ’s Incarnation as the supreme Theophany. The Christian Church’s central ceremonies, in particular the celebration of the Eucharist, are often both the locus and the touchstone for the individual believer’s experience of God. This article briefly traces this continuity from the Old Testament to the New Testament era, pre–Nicene Christian writers, the early monks, and concludes with Byzantine Hesychasts.

Sveci Juraj i Antun Padovanski u životu Krivopućana

Author(s): Marijana Belaj / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2004

Devotion to saints and their presence in the daily lives of believers of Krivi Put was the subject of research completed in May 2004 as a part of the scientific project Identity and ethno genesis of the coastal Bunjevci. In this paper, devotion to saints is observed as a part of popular religion and a cultural characteristic. Special occasions when the belief in saints occurred and how it was expressed was reported by a few interviewers.The presence of these saints in the daily lives of believers in this researched region is numerous. For example, some remembrance days of the popular agrarian calendar are related to key days at the beginning or end of some agricultural periods or they are related to key days of popular meteorology. Proverbs where these saints are mentioned and which are related to these days represent some beliefs about these saints. These are also apparent in the banning of some work activities on some days. There are some special occasions related to some saints/protectors. Amongst the saints/protectors the most popular are St. George and St. Anthony.St. George is believed as the protector of the fields, horses or the general protector of cattle. Therefore interviewers mentioned his saint’s day as the one related to cattle or they related his proverbs with crop success. The most common act which symbolises his day is the blessing of cattle with water blessed in the church using a little branch. In the researched region, it was believed that if St. George arrived on a green horse on St. George’s saint’s day, the year would be good but if he arrived on a black horse, the year would be infertile and unsuccessful. On St. George’s day it is banned to plough one’s own land with your own cattle. The protection of cattle is most often dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua. He was especially worshipped to help ill cattle or when cows were about to deliver calves. St. Anthony was also believed as the one who helps women and babies in child birth. St. Anthony’s saint’s day was marked with some special acts or prohibitions related to cattle and which sometimes were very similar to those of St. George’s day.The interviewers did not find any explanations why St. George and St. Anthony are especially related to cattle. Some acts related to cattle, as well as some beliefs and prohibitions which are related to St. Anthony and St. George have no any theological explanation and their origins are not in Christianity although the interviewees had taken them as Christian. From their point of view, these acts show a respect towards these saints. The saint’s role is to facilitate the communication with God, as it can be learnt from the prayers of people from Krivi Put dedicated to these saints, although it sometimes seems that beliefs are only related to the saints. Saints are seen as those who help and protect in daily life with their main role to assure good life in this world. Solving problems of this world is the main purpose in the relationship towards sanctity and an important characteristic of the people’s religion in this researched region. Also taking into consideration some other saints mentioned in the research, they are generally presented in the daily lives of people because of their specific believer’s relationships.

Chrystus ubogi wzorem ewangelicznej rady ubóstwa dla osób konsekrowanych i instytutów życia konsekrowanego

Author(s): Rafał Kamiński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 18/2020

From the Christocentric vision of the Church, church law and consecrated life it reveals the poor Christ, who becomes a model of life according to religious professions both for individual consecrated persons and entire communities forming institutes of consecrated life, as well as for religious life, treated as a permanent state of life in the Church. The counsel of poverty, which is among the three vow by a religious to God and to the Church, is thus mirroring the life of Christ, who stands at the center of his life and his community. For a religious, poverty is supposed to be a way to achieve evangelical perfection, and for the community in which he lives, a way to realize his charism, a means of testimony to the world and a tool of solidarity and brotherhood with those in need. The inspiration for this article is a document from the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life from 2018 “Economics in the service of charism and mission”. Referred to as “Orientations”, it should be considered together with the “Guidelines for the management of goods in institutes of consecrated life and associations of apostolic life” issued earlier (in 2014). Both documents are the fruit of international symposiums organized by the Vatican Dicastery dealing with the consecrated life. The practical implementation of the poverty varies depending on the charism of the community, which is the basis of its faithfulness. The founding charism, character and type of the institute’s ministry determine the style of its life. Some of the norms regulating it are found in universal law, while others should be detailed in the own law of the individual institutes. In order to show the basis for following the model of the poor Christ, it was necessary to mention and explain some aspects of canonical norms relating to the personal life of consecrated persons and addressed to the whole community and religious life as such.

La dimensione soteriologica ed antropologica dell’enciclica Dives in misericordia di san Giovanni Paolo II

Author(s): Adam Kopiec / Language(s): Italian Issue: 18/2020

This consideration is focused on the salvation meaning of mercy in human life and on the relationship between mercy and social justice. Pope John Paul II in a new way showed the theological, soteriological and anthropological scale of truth in God’s mercy and its existential and social consequences. God, revealed through Jesus Christ, shows himself as a merciful father, who is willing to forgive our sins and share our suffering. God’s mercy promotes mercy in human being too. In this way it turns into an internal strength to fulfill love everyday, which displays itself as moral maturity and apostolate attitude. Mercy protects human dignity and basic equality of all social persons. It amends justice and promotes social development.

Karola Wojtyły filozoficzna koncepcja transcendencji i integracji osoby w czynie na przykładzie miłości

Author(s): Amadeusz Pala / Language(s): Polish Issue: 18/2020

The aim of the article is an attempt to synthesize two philosophical concepts of Karol Wojtyła: the concept of love, from the work Love and Responsibility (1960), with the concept of transcendence and integration of the person in action, from The Acting Person (1969). It has been shown that love dynamises a person according to the logic determined by transcendence (horizontal and vertical) and integration (or disintegration). These analyses show that Karol Wojtyła developed his philosophy in a consistent manner – both of his works are a coherent vision of the human dynamism.

Teologia nauki – skazana na sukces?

Author(s): Jacek Rodzeń / Language(s): Polish Issue: 70/2021

The paper briefly presents a genesis of the research project called the theology of science initiated by Michał Heller in early 1980s, but also enriched by the remarks of Józef Życiński. Then the main features of the new Heller’s book Science and theology – not necessarily exclusively on one planet (Kraków, 2019) are discussed. The book develops and strengthens the early ideas of theology of science. The paper draws also attention to another author—C.B. Kaiser who—since a dozen years—has been developing a similar project: theology of scientific endeavor. It is also suggested that the Heller’s project, especially in its axiological and praxeological aspects, could take advantage of the achievements of several Francophone authors (i.a., G. Thils, M.-D. Chenu) who once developed a field of the so-called theology of earthly realities.

Poświęcenie Polski Sercu Pana Jezusa 11 czerwca 2021 roku – i co dalej?

Author(s): Eugeniusz Ziemann / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2021

Taking the inspiration from the history of the cult of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and especially from the private revelations of saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, a number of national bishops conferences dedicated the local churches and whole nations to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On 11th June, 2021 the Polish bishops conference renewed such act in the difficult situation of the church and the nation, moreover even in the face of weakening devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Every act of dedication and entitlements is a religious act, which obliges to the fulfilment of the commitments that have been taken. In this context the question arises, and what next? In the form of suggestions few concrete steps have been proposed.

Od posvätnej služby pre liturgiu po zbierkový predmet. Muzealizácia posvätného

Author(s): Alena Piatrová / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2021

Turbulent historical events have marked the church and monastery treasuries around the territory of today's Slovakia. A vast set of valuable art pieces, including goldsmith products, have gotten into the collections of Hungarian museums in the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. Up until the half of the 13th century, the treasures were devastated by the incursions of the Tartars, later the Turks, in the 16th century radical protestant supporters, or the treasures ended up as confiscates or they were melted during various war conflicts and Josephine reforms. The last drop was the Communist state order, especially in 1950 there were the so-called Actions 'K' and 'L'. The goldsmith liturgic objects, precious historical paraments, and visual art pieces that had survived the previous destruction have been transferred to the collection points of the Slovak Christian fund. The fund gradually distributed the confiscated cultural heritage owned by the Church into renowned Slovak museums and galleries to become their collection items. How do Slovak museums deal or have dealt with this confiscates in case the religiouses societies claim restitution? Are fraternities interested in resolving the ownership relations with museums? Where do the restituted objects end up when the issue is resolved positively? Is the museum community prepared to see the injustice committed upon the Church in the past? And where is the ethical line between the right of the beneficial owner (custodian), who has in many cases invested in saving the object, and the lawful right of the failed owner? Does the Slovak Catholic Church, especially religiouses societies, have expert capacities and finances to preserve their cultural heritage?
