Anioła Ślązaka polemika z luteranizmem

Author(s): Robert K. Zawadzki / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2016

The article first gives a short presentation of Angelus Silesius (1624-1677) or, Johannes Scheffler, and then more thoroughly analyses the first part of his work entitled Idea causarum fundatarum, transeundi a Lutheranis ad Ecclesiam Catholicam; comprehensarum Illationibus duabus which has been forgotten today. The baroque writer used exclusively brief statements which confirm the truth of the Roman faith and simultaneously debunk arguments in favor of Protestant religion. Above all his work was supposed to provide polemical ammunition for the supporters of the Roman Catholic Church and to justify discontinuing relations with Protestantism. In order to achieve this purpose, the writer enumerated and discussed arguments related to the most important arguable theological issues, such as the apostolic succession, miracles, attitude to God's Word, religious life, celibacy, the figure of Luther and his adherents, etc.

Apologetic approach on the dialogue between faith and rationality by the Oriental Fathers

Author(s): Ioniţă Apostolache / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 1/2018

Only our Lord, Jesus Christ, the incarnated Word of the Father, made us, due to his quality as Pantocrator, to “overcome the autonomy of the natural world” and liberated us from the power of irrational forces. Therefore, the dialogue between theology and science is very important for our natural existence. Without science, modern man cannot exist within his earthly environment and without theology he is not given the possibility to enjoy eternal communion with God in the Kingdom of Heaven. This being the case, the Holy Scripture and the Holy Father also, unite the two elements; this unity being sheltered by faith, which is beyond reason and any type of autonomy.

Author(s): Ryszard Sawicki / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2017

Saint Stanislaus Papczynski has a place among the most remarkable Polish personalities of the 16th century, to which his life, pastoral work and literary legacy are all a testament. He was a holy monk, a valued teacher, a great worshiper of Virgin Mary, a preacher and a confessor who cared greatly for the profound spiritual development of the human being, as well as the founder of the Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary – the first religious order for men in Poland. The article presents the pastoral charisma of Saint Stanislaus Papczyński, whose dominant characteristic was Marian and eschatic apostolate.

Armenians of Iraq

Author(s): Seda D. Ohanian / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Armenians have been living in Mesopotamia – modern Iraq – from times immemorial. According to Herodotus, the Hellenic father of history, Armenians used to travel, long before the Christian era, from Armenia to Nineveh and Babylon over the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, importing, by means of round rafts, Armenian wines, dried fruits, fine horses, wheat, nuts and many other products. Historical accounts indicate that Tigranes the Great (king of Armenia during the Artaxiad dynasty from 190 BC to AD 12) defeated enemy armies of several countries, who endangered Armenia’s security. Amongst these countries, he subdued Adiabene (Mosul) in 83 BC, which allowed Armenians to travel from the Armenian highlands to Mesopotamia, reaching as far as Basra and further down the Persian Gulf to the Far East.

Audiatur et altera pars: Vzťahy a prepojenia rodín Zayovcov a Štúrovcov

Author(s): Ewa Kowalská / Language(s): Slovak / Publication Year: 0

Karol Zay je „obľúbenou negatívnou“ postavou historikov, démonizovaným protivníkom Ľudovíta Štúra, kvôli ktorému mal nepríjemnosti na prešporskom evanjelickom lýceu a musel ho následne opustiť. Jeho spisy a aktivity v rámci príprav reforiem evanjelickej cirkvi augsburského vyznania popudili najmä Jozefa Miloslava Hurbana, ktorý sa s ním dostal do ostrého konfliktu a viackrát s ním polemizoval. Celá komplexná osobnosť, akou je napokon každý človek, sa „zhutnila“ do niekoľkých charakteristík a predstavuje stelesnenie zla a hrozby pre celú evanjelickú cirkev, je redukovaná na symbol, stojaci v opozícii voči celému slovenskému národnému hnutiu v 30. – 40. rokoch 19. storočia a čiastočne aj v rokoch po revolúcii. Každá, aj negatívne vnímaná historická postava si však zaslúži podrobnejšiu analýzu, vysvetlenie možných motivácií jej činov, postojov a kontextov, v ktorých pôsobila. Časový odstup dvesto rokov je už dostatočný na to, aby sa aj (prinajmenej takto vnímané) citlivé otázky stali predmetom bádania, pri ktorom historika vedie nie snaha o obnovenie a upevnenie zažitého klišé, ale jednoducho o pochopenie človeka konajúceho v istých mentálnych rámcoch, dobových pomeroch a medziľudských konšteláciách. Namieste je teda pripomenutie si starej zásady rímskeho práva, ktorá priznáva nárok na vypočutie aj druhej strany, akokoľvek sa nám jej argumenty alebo skutky nemusia pozdávať. Z takejto perspektívy sa preto pokúsim priblížiť nielen Karola Zayho, najviac spätého s Ľudovítom Štúrom, ale aj celú zayovskú rodinu, v ktorej sa (spolu)formovali jeho názory a v prospech ktorej podnikal aj mnohé svoje kroky. Je dôležité bližšie spoznať práve najužšie, teda domáce prostredie protagonistov významných spoločenských procesov, keďže významne prispieva k utváraniu charakteru a postojov potomkov.

Autokefalia prawosławia ukraińskiego wbrew prawosławiu rosyjskiemu

Author(s): Jarosław Moskałyk / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 19/2019

Otrzymanie autokefalii z Konstantynopola przez prawosławie na Ukrainie w 2019 r. oznacza dla niego przede wszystkim zmianę jakościową zarówno w sensie organizacyjnym i prawnym, ale także świadomościowym i mentalnym. To rzeczywiste nawiązanie do spuścizny historycznej oraz perspektywa całkowitego uwolnienia się od niechcianego podporządkowania. Teraz pozostaje jedynie kwestia właściwego zagospodarowania wartością, jaką jest pełna autonomia i możliwość kształtowania niezależnej wizji eklezjalnej. Jeśli zostaną prawidłowo wyciągnięte wnioski z niedalekiej i dawnej przeszłości, wówczas zaistnieją wszelkie podstawy ku stworzeniu zjednoczonej wspólnoty prawosławnej o niewątpliwym autorytecie moralnym.
