La dimensione ecclesiale della vocazione missionaria dei laici nell’insegnamento post-conciliare

Author(s): Tomasz Rostkowski / Language(s): Italian Issue: 2/2012

In the post-Council period, one can find different attempts at a synthesis of the declarations of the Council with regards to the theme of the apostolate of the laity. The authors recognizes that the faithful participate in the mission of the Church, with a variety of ministries, functions, and services for the common good and for the benefit of the entire body through being active members. The text maintains that Christian vocation and mission are inseparably united in the life of the faithful – one implies the other.

Obediencia sacerdotal como una de las especiales obligaciones de los clérigos en la Iglesia católica

Author(s): Robert Kantor / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 2/2012

During this year’s homily on Holy Thursday Pope Benedict XVI explored the subject of priestly obedience. He drew attention to some European priests’ incitement to disobedience which ignored the teaching of the Magisterium of the Church. This article argues for the importance and role of priestly obedience in the Catholic Church. Firstly, it identifies the nature of obedience through a close examination of the documents of the Second Vatican Council. Secondly, it identifies Pope Paul VI teaching on obedience through the magisterium of the Church. Finally, the nature of obedience in the Code of the Canon Law from 1983 onwards as well as practical manifestations of obedience pursuant to the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples is discussed.

Le sfide pastorali dopo le Giornate Mondiali della Gioventù 2016

Author(s): Krzysztof Pawlina / Language(s): Italian Issue: 1/2017

World Youth Day (WYD) 2016 gathered a powerful body of youth, who are now asking; What’s next? Without a doubt this group of young people is the promising group within the Church. They are brave and consciously living their faith. They have lived something that has radically transformed them. There are not many of them, yet they are strong. They are excelling and forming a wedge in a growing secular environment. What about those who are left? What’s happening with them? Who are today’s Polish youth and what dilemmas are they facing? As the results of a study completed on the topic of youth and their spirituality shows, we can generally argue that the currently growing generation is a consumerist one. We are also experiencing a growing discrepancy between declared faith, active practice of faith, and morality. Today’s youth, essentially, are not concerned with matters of faith and carry a negative image of the congregation and priests. What indications may be implemented in the ministry of our youth after such a great event as the World Youth Day? What is the ministry of youth and how can we realize it?

La administración de los bienes de la Iglesia hasta el siglo X: algunas de las disposiciones, especialmente de los concilios, y su recepción en el Código de Derecho Canónico de Juan Pablo II

Author(s): Jorge Antonio Di Nicco / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 1/2018

This article analyses the evolution of the goods of the Church and its administration dur-ing the first millennium of the Christian era. It reveals the first community of Jerusalem where believers had everything in common, discusses the centrality of the Bishop and se-verely damaging mismanagement, and some of the provisions on the subject under study, especially those arising from the various councils. It talks about the attempts and tenden-cies towards the disintegration of the diocesan heritage as a unitary whole from the sixth century; notwithstanding which, the Bishop has the responsibility for his subordinate en-tities, keeping the administrative power over the property of the diocese. In the last part, the article presents several of these provisions in the Code of Canon Law by John Paul II.

MIŁOŚĆ PASTERSKA PRIORYTETEM MISJI KAPŁANA JAKO NAUCZYCIELA RELIGII

Author(s): Dawid Galanciak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 24/2017

The term of shepherd’s love was discussed in this article in the context of a priest’s mission as the teacher of religious education. The shepherd’s love understood as the Holy Ghost’s gift is the source of the priest’s love towards Jesus Christ, Church and its community as well as towards the school society. Only the priest who is in love with the Eucharist can cherish the presbytery he belongs to and the people to whom he is appointed as their shepherd and teacher. The shepherd’s love is the source of the priest's holiness and the fruit of a prayer and a gift which the priest devotes to children and teenagers as their teacher of religious education. It lies in the bases of the priest's formation and is a very essential element of the process of catechizing the younger generation.

Author(s): Jakub Nagi / Language(s): Polish Issue: 24/2017

This is a collection of pastoral letters from Bishop Kazimierz Górny to the Diocese of Rzeszów during 1992−2011, which cover the varied roles and tasks of his ministry. In his letters, Bishop Rzeszowski asks for the intercession of Mary for the whole diocese and asks that they imitate Jesus in every action. Topics include the problems of raising children and young people who entrust in the Mother of God and concern for the development of religion in family life. He is grateful for the numerous testimonies of the clergy and their faith. Emphasis is also placed on patriotic values and the importance of the Homeland. He calls for conversion, which should embrace all, thanksgiving for the gift of the Incarnation of the Son of God and Redemption, and encourages sensitivity to the poor, the suffering and the rejected. The Ordinary urges you to listen to the Word of God which brings light and hope and encourages holiness. All the pastoral letters encourage self-esteem and express concern for man, especially those who lose their way in life, are weak and are suffering.

Anthropology of the evangelical counsels in the school of St. Benedict of Nursia

Author(s): Jerzy Tupikowski / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2018

Man is someone real and as such he is immersed in a world that is a task set to him as a person. Therefore, the whole world, as entirely coming from God, and entirely assigned to Him, is constantly bursting with its natural truth and good and, consequently, also beauty. This is an important perspective, both in the order of nature and in the order of grace, also because the synthesis and fulfilment of all values (perfections), which is personal fullness – holiness, is the ultimate reference of the human person to the Person of God. However, this perspective becomes comprehensible only in the field of the realism of the human person’s truth, goodness and beauty, related to their perfect Source, and therefore to the Truth, Goodness and Beauty of the Person of God Himself.In this sense, it can be said that God is the End of all perfections. Holiness itself is thus a specific peak of the elevation of human potentialities to a higher level of being. „Holiness, through the elevation of truth, goodness and beauty to the supernatural level, can fulfil the potential of human nature – reason and will, to their limits; and this fulfilment, in Christian thought, can only take place in visio beatifica, to which this life here and now is supposed to prepare us”. Let us add that the understanding and implementation of evangelical counsels: chastity, poverty and obedience, serve this growth in a particular way. The counsels are the evangelical factor stimulating and strengthening the work of the intellect and free will.

The Engagement into the Public Sphere of the Romanian Orthodox Church: Religious Assistance in the Army, Hospitals and Prisons.

Author(s): Emilian-Iustinian Roman / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2018

The Orthodox Church has always placed special emphasis on the spiritual and bodily health of the faithful, placing the human person at the centre of the divine public worship. In this context, our study aims at analysing the ways in which the Romanian Orthodox Church has sought to make its voice heard in the public sphere by providing religious assistance in the army, penitentiaries and hospitals. A short overview of the legislative framework of religious assistance that regulates the partnership between the state and the denominations reveals the fact that the Romanian Orthodox Church has always considered that religious assistance is a pastoral imperative in a secularized society and has been continuously preoccupied with the well-being of those facing vulnerable conditions. The very Statute of the Romanian Orthodox Church thus stipulates that parish priests, deacons and church singers have the duty to provide religious assistance to all categories of faithful in military units, prisons, medical units, social assistance and educational establishments whenever requested, in adverse circumstances. On the other hand, we also sought to highlight that faith and religious practices have been considered constructive ways of dealing with bodily and mental distress. Consequently, through the activities proposed by the clergy in the army, hospitals and penitentiaries, the Church partakes in the state of well-being through interaction and communion.
