BERNHARD HÄRING NA II. VATIKÁNSKÉM KONCILU – JEHO VÝZNAM A VLIV

Author(s): Jan Czudek / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 3/2014

The article seeks to describe the role and impact of B. Häring on Vatican II. The beginning focuses on the phase before the Council, when Häring published his first systematic work Das Gesetz Christi (The Law of Christ), in which he offered an overview of moral theology. In his work he attempted to renew this discipline by detaching it from Canon Law and directing it towards other disciplines, such as Spiritual Theology, Sacramental Theology and Pastoral Theology. Some examples of his different approach to moral theology include the areas of theological anthropology – particularly regarding questions of conscience. The article goes on to describe the time of the Council consultations, during which Häring worked as a secretary in the preparation of important documents such as Lumen gentium, Gaudium et spes, Optatam totius, etc. The author of this article uses Acta of Vatican II, Häring’s autobiographical works, and materials which are still unpublished for sources – including Häring’s notes, which were still in the monastery where he died. Häring’s voice was not silent after the Council. He continued with public discussion about moral problems – even exploring further the idea that there are no questions solved once and for all. (After the Pope published his encyclical Humanae vitae, for example, Häring used his moral theological reasoning to express his dissent.) The entire article summarizes Häring’s concept of renewed moral theology and underscores his personal legacy, a legacy which forces us even at present to discover, discuss and change our way of life by asking challenging questions.

Dialog pomiędzy katechetami i rodzicami w Polsce na początku XXI wieku

Author(s): Robert Bieleń / Language(s): / Issue: 21/2005

Catholic Families are a particular group that receives religious teachings provided by The Catholic Church. This is because of the influence and position of the family structure in the Catholic Church, and also the increasing endangerment of the family structure as we know it in today’s socie- ty. The article below shows the state of The Catholic Church in the Polish school system. Later it shows the state of the Polish families and the practice of the Catholic faith within the family. Also, there has developed a restricted method of dialog between Catholic Church teachings and parent’s involvement in the religious teachings in the schools (visit parent in the school, religion child, peda- gogization of parents), and outside of school where their kids are taught (visit at the child’s home, prepare children to admit holy sacraments for the first time, education of children and teenagers to fondness, religion adult and family religion, work in small parental groups, Parochial Catechesis Council, religious organizations, day focusing and retreat, mass media).

Jezus Chrystus jako „Mistrz Inicjacji”. Afrykański model chrystologiczny

Author(s): Zbigniew Majcher / Language(s): / Issue: 20/2004

Christology is probably the most developed area of African theology, and in this work African theologians have toiled in developing inculturated expressions of Jesus Christ. The revelation of God in Jesus Christ carries with it a narrative of contextual, historical events. Christological reflection situated within the living transmission of an African Church is always a historical and cultural event. The example of Jesus in his life corresponds in a certain way to the criteria of an African traditional master of initiation, who is designated to become the model of how human life should be lived in the majority of African cultures. The uniqueness of Jesus as saviour must enter the fullness of the African people’s everyday life. There are three motives, which speak for this African Christological title. Firstly, Jesus was born into a particular Jewish tradition, through which as a member of the whole human family, he entered into different traditions of human societies. Secondly, Jesus leads all members of different traditions to unity. Through them who present such a variety, he reveals what they desire – the secret of the Kingdom of God, which cannot be conquered but given. Thirdly, Christ introduces into an ephemeral and fragmentary structure of human life’s pedagogy a decisive and everlasting amendment – the mystery that is achievable through simple acts and rites of daily life, which are signs of Jesus’ gift of life and of his own presence. Therefore Jesus has to be granted thrice the title of „Master of Initiation”: because of who he is or culturally becomes for Africans; due to what he makes out of initiation traditions; and due to what he undertakes on the way of Christian pedagogy in order to give Africans a chance of knowing him.

Język i formy pobożności ludowej

Author(s): Stanisław Araszczuk / Language(s): / Issue: 20/2004

Im geistlichen Lebender Kirche die Liturgie bildet das Zentrum. Sie ist der Gipfel zur dem man folgt und zugleich die Quelle, aus welcher man schöpft die Kräfte zum verschiedenartige apostolische Tätigkeit (vergl. KL 10). Aber man soll sich nicht begrenzen nur zur der Liturgie. Die Geschichte lernt, dass das Leben der Glaube in vergangene Epochen war an der Volksfrömmigkeit den Gläubigen angelegen als mehr begreifende und ersetzende die liturgische Zehlebrationen. Deshalb zum beseelen und betonen der Bedeutung der Liturgie, die Kongregation für abgöttische Verehrung und Disziplin der Sakramente hat Acht auf die nötige Aufbewahrung auch sonstige Formen der christliche Volksfrömmigkeit den Gläubigen, der gemäß mit dem Unterricht der II Vatikanischen Konzil, bilden ein fruchtiger Beitrag im Leben der Kirche im Christi Vereinbarung. Volksfrömmigkeit den Gläubigen ist sehr kompetenten Aussagen der Verehrung, obwohl nicht gleichwertige. Es soll man diese nicht gegenüberstellen und auch vergleichen. Soll man aber diesen zum Übereinstimmung zuführen, was zeigt die Konstitution der Heilige Liturgie: „dringend empfehlen sich die christliche Andachten des Volkes, unter Bedingung, dass diese gemäß mit den Vorschriften und Regel der Kirche abhaltet, insbesondre wenn auf den Auftrag der Apostolischen Hauptstadt abhalten .... soll man die Andachten so regeln, das sie mit der heilige Liturgie übereinstimmen, von diese ausströmen und zum Gläubigen zuführen. Die Liturgie schon aus seine Wesen bedeutend diese übertrefft“. Konstitution über heilige Liturgie, erwähnt alle heilige Funktionen verrichtende in die Kirche. Auf ersten Platz ist liturgische und dann außenliturgische Tätigkeiten im doppelt Form gegeben als Gemein – und Individuellandacht. Liturgie und Volksfrömmigkeit zwei formen des Kultes sind und sollen im beiderseitigen Kontakt bleiben: in jedes Fall, die Liturgie soll ein Vergleichpunkt sein, „gut, klar und umsichtig klug der Gebetgeist und charismatisches Leben“, was in der Volksfrömmigkeit exsistiert. Frömmigkeit mit seine Gesänge und Symbol – und Sprachwerte kann die Liturgie bereichern und für sie Schöpferdynamik sein. Hauptkriterium für die Volksfrömmigkeit bleibt immer das Evangelium. Sie können in keinen Fall eine magische, abergläubische, Spiritismuss sowie Streben zum Rache oder sensualistische Konnotation haben. Die Aussage und symbolische Gestikulation in keinen Fall kann banal und/oder unstudiert sein. Die Formen der Volksfrömmigkeit sollen sein Stil, Einfachheit und eigene Sprache sich verhalten, die sollen seine Inspiration aus Heiligen Schrift, Liturgie und Kirchenunterrichten schöpfen und mit Ihren Glauben stimmen. Verantwortung für die Formen der Volksfrömmigkeiten tragt örtliches Ordinarius. Ständige und allgemein anwendbare Gebete und Zeremonie der Volksfrömmigkeit sollen über örtlichen Ordinarius bestätig sein. Volksfrömmigkeit in Ordnung bringen verlangt der Erneuerung. Direktorium empfehlt, dass bei solchen Erneuerung sich mit

Krikščioniškoji ikonografija: XIX a. – XX a. I pusės pokyčiai

Author(s): Laima Šinkūnaitė / Language(s): / Issue: 54/2015

Straipsnyje analizuojami XIX a. ir XX a. pirmosios pusės krikščioniškosios ikonografijos pokyčiai. Gilinamasi į priežastis, kurios galėjo paskatinti šiuos įvairialypius pokyčius. Viena vertus, akivaizdu, kad tai pirmiausia lėmė Apšvietos ideologija bei Didžioji Prancūzijos revoliucija, taip pat ne mažiau svarbios buvo politinės, socialinės ir dvasinės permainos. Kita vertus, naujausi technikos ir ypač gamtos mokslų atradimai vertė tam tikrą visuo¬menės dalį netgi suabejoti Dievo buvimu. Aiškinamasi, kaip šie įvairialypiai pokyčiai paveikė (pakeitė) tradicinę, t. y. klasikinę ikonografiją. Taip pat straipsnyje brėžiamos tolesnių tyrimų kryptys. The article analyses the changes of Christian iconography in 19th century – first half of the 20th century, as well as the reasons that might have encouraged these manifold changes. On the other hand, it is obvious that such changes in iconography were primarily determined by Enlightenment ideology and French revolution, but political, social and spiritual changes were none the less important. Furthermore, new discoveries in technology and especially natural sciences made certain members of society even doubt God’s existence. The article analyses how these mani-fold changes affected and transformed traditional, i.e. classical iconography. The article also outlines directions of further researches.

LUKÁŠ: HISTORIK A EVANGELISTA

Author(s): Ladislav Tichý / Language(s): / Issue: 2/2015

The contribution attempts to explain the meaning of two main characteristics of the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles and clarify the correlation between them. The article analyses the sixfold synchronism in Luke 3:1–2a and demonstrates its importance in the conception of Luke and Acts. Although Luke was not a modern historian, his work indicates how an emphasis on history can serve the Gospel. It is fairly obvious that mere facts are not sufficient and the values behind the facts and events are more important. The most important event for Luke was the salvation brought by Jesus Christ.

ŽENY V TOMÁŠOVOM EVANJELIU

Author(s): Július Pavelčík / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 3/2014

This study is a systematic presentation of the concept of women in the Coptic Gospel of Thomas. In the first part it follows the term “woman” as it is used in the GThom. The second part is focused on two female persons explicitly named in the GThom, i. e. Mary and Salome, and the third part explores what concept of motherhood can be found in the GThom. The basic feature of woman in the GThom is her fundamental connection with earthly man’s existence, which in the GThom is seen negatively. She can also be a disciple of Jesus (as Salome), but her salvation depends on the overcoming of her womanhood.

"A MAN IN SUFFERING, ACQUAINTED WITH THE BEARING OF SICKNESS". THE NEW TESTAMENT RECEPTION OF ISA 52–53 AS A READING OF THE LXX

Author(s): Korinna Zamfir / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2013

New Testament authors use mostly the Greek version of Isaiah 52–53 for various purposes. The perspective on Jesus’ ministry is broad. The few passages that address the meaning of his death envisage mainly the apotropaic function or build on the humiliation-exaltation scheme. In this early stage of reception, the relevant passages from Isa 53 are not quoted. This is partly due to the particularities of the LXX-translation, which eliminates a number of details that could sustain the idea of vicarious suffering and atonement. Beside the Christological-soteriological inter¬pretation of Jesus’ ministry and/or suffering, the quotes serve ethical-paraenetical purposes or address the scope and reception of the gospel.

"Analogia entis" Ericha Przywary jako model myślenia katolickiego w postmodernistycznej rzeczywistości

Author(s): Maciej Raczyński-Rożek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2018

The contemporary Catholic is living in the broadly understood postmodern culture, which in its assumptions cannot be reconciled with Catholic thinking, above all, because of the negation of objective truth. Therefore, he must take care of his vision of reality alone. Erich Przywara presents a worldview that can be a response to this demand. On the one hand, because it is deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition, on the other hand, it is, in the same time, open to culture. Taking into account the historicity of the subject and the object, the Przywara’s analogia entis does not close in some static system, but is a dynamic approach that allows entering into a dialogue or polemic with hot current issues.

"Az Úr pászkája ez" (Kiv 12,11) (Egy ünnep változásai)

Author(s): Gábor Vladár / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 1/2005

The first part of the essay provides an overview of the history of the Passover from its beginnings in the nomadic tradition to the hellenistic era. The different layers within the literary descriptions of this feastday correspond with the different stages in the interpretation of the Passover. What originally served as a shepherd-festival in a nomadic society underwent a major ransformation when it became integrated into the historical event of Israel`s escape from Egypt, thus taking up the role of the memorial of the Exodus. Even at times of suppression, this history-related interpretation of the feast nurtured the hope of God´s chosen people. The feast of Passover is not a representation of a myth: It is, rather, the celebration of an historical event and the proclamation of its power, effects, and significance. When describing celebrations of this kind, the Bible uses the term "remembrance". It is of decisive theological relevance that the synoptic gospels place the Last Supper of Christ within the framework of the Passover feast. Through his words at the Last Supper and through his death, however, Jesus not only fulfilled but he also exceded every former Passover sacrifice. Thus, on the one hand, the Last Supper of Jesus connects the christian Eucharist to the jewish Passover-celebration, on the other hand, however, it also signifies a major difference between the two.

"Będziecie moimi świadkami po krańce ziemi" (Dz 1,8). Łukaszowa wizja świadectwa z perspektywy Dziejów Apostolskich

Author(s): Krzysztof Mielcarek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 28/2015

Because of the richness of Lukan theology regarding witness, the author was unable to cover all of its aspects. Thus the study touches only upon its major threads. Besides the obvious issues of the apostles role as witnesses, the content of their witnessing, and its recipients – the study presents some other personalities involved in transmitting the Good News of God’s salvation to humanity. Indeed, the greatest stress is placed on the testimony of God himself. Despite being a constant Mystery for humankind, He never ceases being involved in their history and witnessing to his salvific plans. Although there are only a few texts within Acts that connect the persons of the Trinity to witnessing, one should consider them as fundamental to a full Lukan theology of witness.
