Pozycja Czy „List biskupów Francji do katolików: proponować wiarę w społeczeństwie aktualnym” może być inspiracją dla Kościoła w Polsce? − antropologiczne i duchowe przesłanieZarzycki, Stanisław (Towarzystwo Naukowe KUL, 2012)This paper presents an analysis of the spiritual message sent by the French bishops to the French faithful in „The Letter to the French Catholics: Proposing Faith to Contemporary Society”. The author analyses the text in the anthropocentric perspective, giving the reader an insight into the axiological crisis in the French society. This helps explain why this society finds it difficult to open itself to spiritual, Christian values. At the same time, those aspects of the religious functioning that are still present in the French society are pinpointed as the assets on which the Church evangelization action should rely. Also discussed is the French crisis of the Catholic faith, and the methods that the episcopal Letter (composed by Claude Dagens, Bishop of Angoulême) suggests for overcoming the crisis. The need for the mobilization of the priests, more active prayer and apostolic associations and for the collective action of all the faithful is also emphasised. The change is only possible if the whole Church returns to the roots of the faith (the mystery of the Trinitarian God, Baptism, the Gospel and the sacraments); accepts a morality based on the experience of the faith, and not on the doctrinal law; preaches about salvation through Christ in a close relationship to the values of contemporary people; seeks power in her liturgy and in the service for the neighbour (diacony). The Letter can be inspirational for Polish Catholicism at the beginning of the Year of Faith. The author claims that the following elements of the Letter are worth pondering upon in the Polish context: (1) taking into account human experience in the time of axiological crisis; (2) a more integrated preaching of the Gospel, liturgy and the service for the neighbour; and (3) increased participation of the lay Catholics in religious communities, in order to shape one’s Catholic identity and to get engaged in the apostolic mission of the Church.Pozycja Pozycja Wiara człowieka świeckiego wcielona w rzeczywistość doczesnąLachowska, Izabela (Towarzystwo Naukowe KUL, 2012)This paper deals with the issue of the faith of the lay, which finds it realization in daily reality and leads to the evangelical change of the world. The paper starts with the reference to the Church doctrine of the lay faithful, based on selected document of Vaticanum II and the teaching of the Blessed John Paul II. The paper also presents a wider cultural and spiritual background of contemporary reality of the life of the lay faithful. In the first section of the paper, the author defines precisely the Christian understanding of the lay faithful, pointing out that the lay Christian vocation is realized in the broadly understood world. The lay vocation is an autonomous Christian path, still being a sphere of God’s action and influence. The author proceeds to discuss the roots of lay spirituality and of the areas of the lay extensive evangelical engagement: family life, political involvement, socio-economic activities, research or charity. Next, the author presents how a lay person can lead his/her life in accord with the evangelical counsels, which help introduce harmony between the secular world and the radical Gospel. The relationship between the evangelical counsels and the commandments is also discussed. The last section of the paper is devoted to the unfavourable changes in contemporary postmodern culture, which have a negative impact on the spiritual life of the faithful.Pozycja Życie konsekrowane − dynamiczny akt wiary i confessio trinitatisPaszkowska, Teresa (Towarzystwo Naukowe KUL, 2012)“Jesus’ call to come, «follow me» marks the greatest possible exaltation of human freedom, yet at the same time it witnesses to the truth and to the obligation of acts of faith and of decisions which can be described as involving a fundamental option” (Veritatis splendor, n. 66). Consecrated life in the Church is a canonical way of living thanks to the strength resulting from acts of faith and fromdecisions connected to the practice of evangelical advice. A crisis inconsecrated life results from crisis of faith and from aluck of psychological stability of consecrated persons. This article shows several wayshow to pass over this crisis: the first way concerns the theological dimension; it consists in better understanding of the dynamism of faith; the second way concerns the spiritual formation; it consists in transforming the consecrated person in the spirit of faith; the third way is situated in life itself; it consists in confessing God as Trinity through the way of living (i.e. confessio Trinitatis). This article is based on the documents of Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, on the declarations of the Associations for the Apostleship, on the teaching of Popes Paul VI, John Paul II and Benedict XVI, and on some theological works on this matter.
