Interdisciplinarity in Pastoral Theology. An Example of Socio-Theological Research
Szymczak, Wioletta (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2020)
The purpose of the article is to analyze the idea of interdisciplinary research involving pastoral theology and sociology. This is one of the methodological proposals for research projects carried out under pastoral theology. Interdisciplinarity is understood as combining research methods for the cooperation of scientists from both disciplines in the process of planning, implementing and interpreting the results of empirical research. It is inspired by a problem identified in pastoral theology that requires exploration. The presentation consists of three parts. The first is devoted to the location of empirical research within pastoral theology. The second concerns the assumptions and significance of interdisciplinary research involving pastoral theologians and sociologists. In the final part, the areas of interdisciplinary cooperation among the research teams are pointed out. The potential of qualitative research as a space for cooperation among representatives of both sciences and as an important source of knowledge from the viewpoint of pastoral theology is shown. The comparative and synthetic method was used. The analysis shows that interdisciplinary research in the field of pastoral theology has great potential related to the acquisition and interpretation of multi-faceted empirical data and the designation of new research fields, which will significantly enrich the theological analysis process as well as the presentation and application of pastoral models.
Normatywna infrastruktura demokracji. Perspektywa teologiczna i społeczna
Łużyński, Wiesław; Szymczak, Wioletta (Gdańskie Seminarium Duchowne, 2019)
Warunkiem trwania demokracji jest powrót do wielkiej moralnej tradycji chrześcijaństwa oddziałującego przez wieki na kulturę i narody Europy i innych kontynentów. Depozytariuszem wyrosłej z chrześcijaństwa, ale należącej do kultury moralnej ludzkości tradycji, jest m.in. Kościół katolicki uznający autonomię porządku doczesnego, w tym politycznego, pełniący wobec demokracji i rzeczywistości politycznej rolę „korekcyjną” polegającą na oczyszczaniu rozumu, by ten nieustająco powracał do swego potencjału i mógł odczytać „gramatykę” norm moralnych zawartą w naturze.
Religious or Spiritual? Empirical Manifestations of Contemporary Changes in Poles’ Self-Declarations and Media Representations
Szymczak, Wioletta; Szulich-Kałuża, Justyna (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2022)
This paper comprises part of the current research on the phenomenon of new spirituality, conducted within the sociology of religion and social communication and media sciences. It aims to analyze selected manifestations of the new spirituality entering into the religious sphere of a religiously homogeneous society based on the example of Poland. A complementary application of quantitative and qualitative methods was proposed. The subject of the analysis is the results of a representative survey in which Poles define themselves in terms of religiosity and spirituality, with examples of their search for content on a new spirituality through online resources using the assumptions of the theory of social representations. The above concept resulted in the bipartite structure of the main part of the article. It was preceded by a theoretical introduction synthetically presenting phenomena identified as key features of new spirituality and ended with a discussion of the results and conclusions. The analyses indicate that, in Polish society, the category of phenomena and processes classified as new spirituality is distinguishable but complex and diverse. In the subsequent stages of the analysis, their socio-demographic determinants were shown, and then the media representations of the new spirituality were identified, categorized, and put into typologies.
