Pozycja Benedykt XVI – papież pustelnikTomaszczuk, Roman (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2020)Benedict XVI does not mask the fact that he is interested in a person and the work of Saint Benedict. Benedictine moderation, balance, deep humanism and Christocentrism are universal values which the Pope offers to societies, the Church and the congregation. What is more, he himself lives and breathes these values. The best proof of this is the last stage of his life: the hermitage Mater Ecclesie, monasterio behind the walls of Vatican. The Pope Emeritus as a monk-eremite? Why not? Moreover, the rhythm and the meaning of this hidden life brilliantly reflects the example given to the Church by Saint Anthony the Great. On the basis of ‘The memoirs of Saint Anthony’ by saint Athanase and also the testimony that Benedict XVI himself gives about his life in the interview ‘Final Conversations’ by Peter Seewald, you can demonstrate by comparing, that the ideal of hermitic life is still topical. Benedict XVI, in spite of dropping out of active life, remains faithful to the Church, he is still the great master of faith and a great personality worth following.Pozycja Ekumenizm a ekologiaLipniak, Jarosław M. (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2020)Ecumenism helps dialogue participants to look for values in other communities, values that are not always exposed in their denominations. Discovering the wealth of other religions and traditions, participants of the dialogue can see in others transcendental beauty that they often cannot see because of excessive rationalism and moralizing. Thanks to this, they can see the ecological aspect which is often invisible. It is worth appreciating the fact that faith is allied with the world of art, thanks to which our experience is released and refreshed to see the beauty of the natural environment. The Church was not established for itself. Its purpose is to proclaim the Word of God and to administer the sacraments that are to sanctify, restore and organize the world. The Church is from the beginning “ecological” because in its Greek roots “ecology” means “house ordering” In this respect, the Church does not come as an intruder, but as a member of the whole human family. Ecumenism and ecology teach Christians humility that is so much needed by today’s world. Christian humility deepens with realization of our dependence on the world and its inhabitants. Humility shows that the fate of our planet and the whole biosphere has become dependent on human decision, and our life depends on the Creator who gave us our planet and made us look after it.
