SCIENZA E FEDE NEL DIALOGO DI GALILEO

Author(s): Sergio Cavicchia Sj / Language(s): Italian Issue: 1-2/2014

Science and Faith in Galileo's Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems. The object of this article is one of the most important works of Galileo, the Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems. This masterpiece presents the author’s vast knowledge of the Ptolemaic and Copernican systems. In it, he uses complex and inciting arguments that involve philosophy, theology, science, rhetoric and faith; in spite of this, though, he was able to give meaning to anthropological and existential concerns. The paper focuses on the research for texts referring to human experience, particularly those which are within the realms of poetry and myths, that may help provide a common possible ground on which faith and science could interact. By using these texts and allowing myself to get seduced by the simple pleasures of reading, I was able to pick out passages that draw out in human emotions, laughter, surprise, perplexity; and reflections that prompt us, through spiritual investigation, to know ourselves and the world around us. The paper is divided into six chapters. The first deals with the Dialogue’s existential themes that form the common ground for reflecting on the relationship between science and faith. The second contains considerations on how Galileo approached the difficult subject of truth with its multiple meanings. The third is on how Galileo considered the unity between nature and its creator. The fourth chapter refers to the paper’s main topic: the imagination. The fifth looks into the relationships between the various disciplines that might offer new lights in bringing science closer to faith. Finally, the sixth describes how Galileo approached the interplay between the authorities of science and those of the Church.

THE PERSONALISTIC VIEW OF EDUCATION IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF J. MARITAIN

Author(s): Pavol Dancák / Language(s): English Issue: 1-2/2014

Thanks to his freedom, man is able to learn, and on the basis of knowledge, he is free to make decisions. Human life seems to be a dynamic process where everything is revealed. It is also obvious that man is responsible for his actions, but while he is still alive, he is always able to correct his wrongdoings. It is this dynamics of human life that prevented J. Maritain from limiting education only to school and youth, which received his special attention, as he understood it in the wider culture-forming sense.

LA CITTADINANZA DELLA FAMIGLIA: LA LUCE DI SAN GIOVANNI PAOLO II

Author(s): José Noriega / Language(s): Italian Issue: 1-2/2014

The Citizenship of Family in the Light of Saint John Paul II’s doctrine. Faced with the claim of the different family “models” to be accepted in society, it is necessary to clarify that the family – founded on marriage, on the union of a man and woman – builds up society, and forms its very basis, as its foundation and its soul. The thoughts and teachings of St. John Paul II help us understand that true love unites persons and generates a promise which brings unity and stability to our life. The gift of the Holy Spirit, received by spouses in Christian matrimony, belongs to this “logic of the overflowing”, of self-communication.

Author(s): Ion Vicovan / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

Although the Romanian nation produced, throughout its history, numerous saints, canonization took place during the noteworthy rule of Patriarch Justinian Marina (1948-1977), in 1950. Together with the introduction into the calendar of Romanian saints, the generalization of venerating the saints whose relics are in our country was decided. Among the saints whose veneration was extended at the time, was Venerable St Parascheva “the housewife-like enlightener of Moldavia”, whose holy relics were brought to Iaşi in 1641, during the reign of the pious Prince Vasile Lupu and the holy Bishop and scholar Varlaam.The proclamation of the generalization of St Parascheva’s veneration was held on October 14th, 1955, six decades ago, during the noteworthy rule of Metropolitan Sebastian Rusan (1950-1956). The dedication day was a day of liturgical and spiritual significance. Both Romanian Hierarchs and those of other Jurisdictions, along with many priests, monks, nuns and many of the faithful attended the event.
