    Rola biskupa w Kościele: pasterz czy tylko zarządca? Punkty sporne i perspektywy zmian
    Głowacz, Paweł; Wąsek, Damian (The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow, 2018)
    The article is an attempt to answer the question: Where is the pastoral dimension of religious service of bishops dominated by their managerial tasks and how may this be changed? Four of these modifications have been highlighted. Firstly, it is necessary to get away from the practice of the bishop’s nomination, where is a place just for managers. I particularly have in mind the Roman Curia and Apostolic Nunciature. Secondly, we need to intensify a process of decentralization of competences in ecclesiastical structures – transferring a maximal number of rights from Rome to local churches. Thirdly, the pastoral function of bishops will be emphasized if there were not any auxiliary bishops but only one pastor in a diocese. Fourthly, it is necessary to improve the process of communication between bishops and lay people in the cases of canonical visitations and pastoral letters.

    Rozwój doktryny o sukcesji apostolskiej w pierwszych wiekach Kościoła
    Bujak, Janusz (The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow, 2018)
    The article refers to the development of theological reflection on the apostolic succession in the First Century Church. It starts with the New Testament teaching on the successors of the apostles, then the teaching of Saint Clement of Rome, Saint Ignatius of Antioch, Saint Irenaeus and Tertullian is presented. Finally, the teaching of the Apostolic Tradition attributed to Saint Hippolytus of Rome is shown. It might be said, therefore, that the beginning of the teaching on the apostolic succession refers to the apostolicity of the local Churches among which the most important were those founded by the Apostles themselves, and the Church of Rome. They were the source of the apostolic faith for another local churches. The ceaseless succession of bishops dated back to the Apostles was the important factor in retaining the apostolic faith in the local Churches. What confirmed the Church in being in the apostolic teaching was the com‑ munion with other Churches, retained due to the communion of their bishops who form a college similar to the College of Apostles.
