A Mind Drawn by a Word. A Meditative Dimension of Selected Epigrams by Richard Crashaw (1612-1649)
Godawa, Marcin (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
The analysis of the relation between religious meditation and epigram representing domain of poetry shows their own common place, a very interesting matter for further research. Reading verses as well as meditating could draw one’s mind to concentrate on an intriguing sign for some time. The process of rereading the text supplies deeper theological senses, spiritual satisfaction and an opportunity to contemplate an object in a way of acquired contemplation following ordinary mental prayer. This drawing role is successfully played by a conceit, when its form (acutum) enchants the mind and it is equivalent to the stirring moment of meditating reason. The epitome of these proprieties is a collection of epigrams by Richard Crashaw. Their Christ-centrism expresses itself in taking into consideration selected mysteries of Jesus’ life presented in the sharpness of meanings crossed in conceit. It is done via accurately selected requisites as well as a variety of poetical and rhetorical means. This young English poet created short verses that strike a reader’s attention and prompt it to consider the prepared literary form and to meditate or contemplate the mystery of Saviour realizing a significant element of the Roman Catholic Church’s theory of meditation. The poetical genius of the author supported by good artistic work and connected with his religion zeal causes that this ability of drawing of a reader works still in the charming way.
Beatification of the University Founder. 614th Academic Year at the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow
Szczurek, Jan Daniel (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
Boží milosrdenství v učení svatého otce Jana Pavla II
Machniak, Jan (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
The mystery of the Divine Mercy appears in the teaching of John Paul II in the encyclical Dives in misericordia (1981), that is, from the very beginning of His pontificate. The Pope by referring to the history of salvation demonstrates that the history in question is permeated by the truth about God of Mercy: creation, sin of the first parents, the announcement of salvation, the revelation on Sinai, rind the prophets. The revelation culminates in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, who reveals mercy to the fullness and teaches mercy. John Paul II proposes a thesis that mercy accepted by man and realized in life is a great chance for the people of the XXth century to come near to God and to open themselves to their neighbors. The teaching of John Paul II on the Divine Mercy reaches its completeness in canonization of St. Sister Faustina (2000), and in the act of entrustment of the world to the Divine Mercy (2002).
Das Alter – ein Problem oder eine Chance? Versuch einer multiperspektivischen pastoralen Reflexion
Dziedzic, Jan (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
Demographic prediction, especially in Europe, indicate considerable increase in population over the age of 65. In the following years the population at generative age will be decreasing. This situation requires specific decisions from the part of a state, society and the Church. Multidimensional support to elderly people can improve the quality of their life and help to respect their dignity. Individual approach to those people is also very important. It may help to their personal (spiritual) development. This paper presents some data from sociology, psychology and theology which may be useful to integral support to an aged person. Assistance the Church offers to elderly people is not restricted to liturgical and/or pastoral care. The Church in cooperation with many other institutions runs residential homes, hospices, seniors clubs, financial support and universities (special courses) for older adults. The purpose of this paper is to better understand the needs of elderly people and to contribute to the betterment of the professional assistance to this social group.
Exegetical and Theological Implications of ίερόν and ναός in Mark 11-15
Mikołajczak, Mieczysław (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
The analysis undertaken by the author of this article aims at the presentation of mutual exegetical – theological implications of the usage of ίερόν and ναός in Mk 11-15. The objective of the research carried out in this article is to find an answer to the following question: Has the theme of the temple during the Passion of Christ been presented by Marc from a new perspective and if so then to what extent. The problem whether the usage respectively of ίερόν and ναός is just a reference to the setting has also been taken into consideration. In his research the author has come to a conclusion that the theme of ίερόν and ναός in Mk 11-15 has not been presented by Marc as the essential part of the chapters in question. But at the same time the theme of the temple in the second Gospel helps the reader to notice and to understand the role and significance of the Messiah, the Son of God. That is why St. Marc has not abandoned the theme of the temple in his description of the Passion of Christ but continues it discreetly until he comes to the heart of it which is also the heart of the Gospel – the cross. The author comes to a conclusion that in Mk 11-15 there is a distinct and contrasting difference between ίερόν and ναός but simultaneously each term used by the evangelist in its proper context renders the meaning and sense in a very precise way, just as the context of the Gospel narrative would require. St. Marc does it in a very coherent and conscientious way – much better than other evangelists or classical Hellenic authors do.
Geneza kształtowania się naukowych zainteresowań św. Józefa Bilczewskiego w okresie studiów na Wydziale Teologicznym Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego (1880-1884)
Kałużny, Józef Cezary (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
In this article I described the origins of the evolution of Józef Bilczewski’s scientific interests (1880-1884). The effect of the study, firmly established by the analysis of the source material, was the answer to the question: who and to what extent influenced the choice of interests of the young student of theology? Reflections show that at the first stage of the evolution of his scientific interests three great researchers working at the Jagiellonian University significantly influenced him: S. Pawlicki (philosopher, theologian, classic), W. Chotkowski (Church historian), W. Lepkowski (art historian, archaeologist) and perhaps also E. Skrochowski (historian of Christian art). They turned J. Bilczewski’s attention to the tradition of classic Christianity culture at the time and directed his interest towards dogmatics. Other scientists also influenced the formation of the young clergyman; at least a few priest professors can be named here: J. S. Pelczar (history of the Church and patrology, pastoral theology), Zygmunt Lenkiewicz (moral theology), Stanisław Spis and Emil Lamboy (Scripture of the Old and New Testaments). However, it can be said with confidence that it was: S. Pawlicki, W. Chotkowski and W. Lepkowski who were responsible for the dogmatic-apologetic-antique fascinations of J. Bilczewski.
In Search of Expression of Faith: Two Complementary Ways in the Central Europe – Art and Mysticism
Tabor, Dariusz (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
The one of the most important trends of medieval culture was the tension between faith and its expression. This text explains how two parts of the medieval culture – art and mysticism was becoming the manifestation of faith. The picturing legend of saint Hedwig contains the miniature which represents God the Father entrusting Gabriel the mission, God the Father holding Jesus Child and archangel Gabriel announcing to Mary. The descending line, in which these pictures are disposed corresponds with the descending structure of the first sermon from the cycle In laudibusvirginis Mariae of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. Bothe express the mystery of Incarnation. The retable from Świeżawa represents the Trinity as the Throne o f Grace (Sedesgratiae). In facts it represents God the Father displaying the crucified Christ. Two texts of mysticism converge on the content of this picture. Johannes Marienwerder (Jan of Kwidzyn) describes three ways of God’s cognition: way of reasoning, way of devotion and way of glorification. The prayer of Wladislaus, king of Bohemy and Hungary has also the Trinitarian structure – the praying person mentions the Father as Creator, the Son as savior and The Holy Spirit acting in Baptism. The nailed lamb from the retable quarter of Torun, named Quinitas is the integrating symbol, who connects the persons of picture. He symbolizes the crucified Christ and the Christ present in the Eucharist. The lamb from the mystical vision of Mechtild of Magdeburg holds the similar meaning. The press of wine – the wall painting in the Franciscan cloister in Cracow represents the situation, in which the blood of Christ flows from the basin of press to the mass chalice. It correspond with the theological explanation of eucharistie transformation in the work of Johannes Isner “Expositiomissae” Gertrude of Helfta recognizes the consecrated wine as a manifestation of love of Christ to his bride – Churche. The retable of Brzeg – Vir Dolorum represents the suffering Christ. Mechtild of Magdeburg displays the similar vision of the suffering Savior in her writings.
Jak współcześni poeci polscy interpretują nawrócenie Szawła? Narracja Dziejów Apostolskich i Wirkungsgeschichte
Pindel, Roman (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
The article contains the analysis of the message of three texts of the Acts (9: 1-19; 22: 3-21; 26: 12-19) and its Wirkungsgeschichte. The whole history of Polish literature knows only five poets who were inspired by the text of Saul’s conversion. All of them published their poems in the second half of the 20th century. The Damascus road experience and Saul’s call was described by Kazimiera Iłłakowiczówna, Roman Brandstaetter, Anna Kamieńska, Janusz St. Pasierb and Jan Turnau. The common theme is Saul’s conversion but each of poet pays attention to another aspect of apostle’s change.
Johannes Paul II – neuer europäischer Seliger und Wegbereiter Europas
Kijas, Zdzisław (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
The author commences with Benedict XVI’s text, given on September 13, 2006 during the blessing of the basilica’s organ, “Unserer Lieben Frau zur Alten Kapele”, in Regensburg. The Pope stated that the organ is the king of musical instruments because it is the only instrument that can capture all the voices of creation. Coming from that perspective, the author looks at John Paul II as a great organ player who knew how to “play” the organ of spiritual and cultural treasures of Europe. He did this by pronouncing new patrons of Europe such as Saints Cyril and Methodius, St. Bridget, St. Catherine and St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Through his long pontificate, John Paul II called all inhabitants of this continent to breathe with “both lungs”, i.e. East and West, drawing from the treasures of one and the other “parts” of Europe. At the same time, he stressed the need for solidarity and help for those in need, highlighting that the “poor” does not necessarily mean someone without goods, but rather suffering temporarily from a shortage of goods. In his view, solidarity was the expression of love that is the most desired and awaited for the further spiritual development of Europe. It is also essential for sharing achievements with others. John Paul II also underscored the need for positive enrichment of national identity for people living in this territory. At the same time, he admonished negative expressions of nationalism; which always resulted in negative outcome for Europe. Likewise, he encouraged that Europe and its citizens do not look into the past with nostalgia, in the direction of its past greatness, but bravely look into the future, undertaking the mission of sharing achievements and learning from others. These and other statements describe John Paul Il’s attitude and essence as a holy artist, who performed on grand and beautiful “organs” of European identity, uncovering the scale of tones, as the time and need arose, creating a beautiful composition.
Księgozbiór ks. Sebastiana Sierakowskiego SJ i jego „opus vitae”: „Architektura obeymuiąca wszelki gatunek murowania i budowania”
Olszowski, Leszek (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
Since 1825, in the Jagiellonian Library there are books given by the former rector of the University and its generous benefactor, Fr. Sebastian Sierakowski. Among more than 600 titles, there are many rare and valuable items. Besides, Fr. Sierakowski is known as an author of architectural treatise published in Krakow in 1812. In the introduction to the treatise, author points out that he tried to give the most valuable messages collected in many different works of famous architects. This article is an attempt to determine which books of Sierakowski’s collection were used by him during writing the treatise and how he used the knowledge contained there. Sierakowski’s book on architecture was undoubtedly his “opus vitae”, which sought to transfer all his knowledge and technical expertise, but in the same it revealed to us his intellectual formation. In the beginning of the 19th c. known as “pre-scientific” period, in the provincial town of Krakow, Sierakowski wrote his unique work, based on extensive literature, which the author gathered himself, fully understanding its value.
Legislative Initiative in the Church as a Right of Christ’s Faithful
Kroczek, Piotr (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
The right of legislative initiative is a widely recognized prerogative that entitles the users of law to make a legislating body undertake certain action connected with the content of a new law. The article presents the problem of legislative initiative in the perspective of the Catholic Church. The main conclusion flowing from the deliberations is as follows: the right in question has its place in church regulations and in life of the community of believers, but its range and the way of realization are specific to the Catholic Church.
Logos i niewiasta u początków Kościoła. Szkic do eklezjogenezy
Napiórkowski, Andrzej (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
The article attempts to determine the origins of the Church. The author maintains that the formation of the Church should be perceived as a concept coming from God the Father. The Church originated at the time of the Fall of Adam and Eve. A resulting breach of human communion with God triggered an immediate response on the part of God. It was His divine purpose that the communion be re-established, but on a different level. This was achieved in the biblical Eden. The Eternal Logos has not only fulfilled the creative, but also the redemptive function. A Woman is permanently inscribed into the origins of the Church. In her we may see Mary, the Mother of Christ and the Mother of Church.
„Ma ten kościół różne odpusty, osobliwie na dni Nayśw. Maryi Panny na niedziele brackie y inne święta”. Uwagi o nadaniach odpustowych kościoła mariackiego w Krakowie
Szymborski, Wiktor (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
The purpose of the article was to show the characteristics of religiousness of society in the medieval Cracow on the basis of an analysis of indulgences issued by Mariacki church. For this purpose, the list of all indulgences granted from XIV up to XVI century was presented as well as the changes occurring in their text in the time. In the next part of the article all occasions and conditions that had to be fullfilled in order to be granted an indulgences were summarized in tables. Mention is also made of indulgences bestowed on confraternities. Attention was given to the propaganda actions of the medieval citizens in order to receive another indulgences granted to the Mariacki Church and the amount of the days and years of indulgence period as well. Indulgences were granted for participation in a procession, going on a pilgrimage and giving alms to the Mariacki church. The author noted that in three diplomas that granteed indulgences the expression ad instar – equivalent indulgences was used. It should be interpreted that indulgences connected with Corpus Christi feast and indulgences of Wenetian cathedral were granted. The Mariacki Church flourished also due to its possesion of a famous altars donated by wealthy Cracow family and large processions from Wawel Castle. Another key reason for the growth of the Mariacki Church was indulencese granted in the 14th and 15th centuries.
Napiętnowanie niewierności i obłudy narodu wybranego przez proroków okresu asyryjskiego w państwie południowym
Adamczyk, Dariusz (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
Prophets of Assyrian period in south nation stigmatize infidelity of the chosen nation, pride, sins of leaders and hypocrisy and deviation of cultural practices. Sins of leaders of Israel especially aim in social order. Prophets of VIII century before Christ criticize celebrated cult by these, who say that during victims, pilgrimages, or external prayer can enter into direct relationship with the God. Meanwhile the way access to the God is listen his words and perform his will, what should be reflected in social relations and in practice of justice and mercy. The minor thing of prophets irritation is attitude and behavior holding the cult. Prophets show that sins of the chosen nation will bring God’s punishment and irreversible judgment day. The nation can gain forgiveness, so prophets invoke Israelites to conversion.
Nieznana konferencja biskupa Karola Wojtyły o oddaniu i zawierzeniu Maryi
Królikowski, Janusz (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
There is no doubt that the faith put in Mary was the guiding principle of John Paul Il’s piety and Marian spirituality. Therefore on 4 June 1979 in Jasna Góra he said: “I am a man of faith”. Saying these words meant introducing himself to the people. The theological conference of Karol Wojtyła, focusing on the devotion and faith put in Mother of God, is published for the first time in this article. The conference was probably held in Jasna Góra between the years 1958 and 1963. What we learn from it is the origin and the theological basis of the faith put in Mary. This, in turns, allows us to systematize the Pope’s teaching about it. We also learn about his further study and the effective development.
Orientacja w chaosie i nowa nadzieja. Rytuały w duszpasterstwie w nagłych wypadkach z perspektywy liturgiki
Böntert, Stefan (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
In a pluralistic society ecclesial emergency pastoral care is faced with the question of how to offer the persons concerned an appropriate balance between pastoral empathy and theological ideals. Rituals play an important role in this task in that they provide a valuable contribution in coping with and explaining in a crisis situation. They have a therapeutic effect, as they help those affected to recover a lost sense of orientation. In practice this means that psychological support by means of appropriate ritual activity intersects with the hopeful perspective of faith. In the process it is important that the course of the ritual includes “open” as well as “closed” parts, i.e. formal liturgical elements (above all, sacraments) and forms which cater to the particular case. In a pluralistic society forms of articulation must be diverse, as diverse as the situations in which appropriate and faithful support/aid are being sought. When one succeeds in connecting human empathy with the reality of God which exceeds all human possibilities, a step in the right direction has been taken. In the form of six individual theses this article reflects the theory and praxis of ritual accompaniment at the crossroads of psychology, current culture and liturgical tradition. In the context of a pluralistic environment, it explores ways in which pastoral care can become involved as a ritual actor and offer people aid which is grounded in faith.
„Prawo żywe i przemożne”: wolność religijna w nauczaniu Jana Pawła II
Dobrzyński, Andrzej (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
The article on “Vivid and Pressing Right: Freedom of religion in John Paul’s Teaching” is a synthesis of main topics related to the papal doctrine. It was affirmed that the Pontiff developed the teaching of Vatican II on the subject and his teachings had ecumenical and deep humanistic significance. Human dignity is a basis for religious liberty. Freedom to search for the truth, moral conscience and responsibility for being witnesses to the faith are manifestations of the transcendental dimensions of human beings. It is the principle reason why the right of religious liberty should be protected. John Paul II underlined the fundamental role of religious liberty with regard to the other human rights and to the State’s constitution and law, to the culture and social customs too. The reason for this relationship is the integral vision of man and of human morality and the role of the social values which in itself forms part of the right for religious freedom. Religious liberty guarantees the fruitful mission of the Church in the society and her contribution for the common good. This right is an important factor for peaceful coexistence of different religions in a multicultural world.
Recepcja postaci Jana Chrzciciela w ewangeliach pseudoepigraficznych
Nowak, Dominik (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
The pseudepigraphic Gospels are relatively strong interested in the person of John the Baptist. Although they are based on the canonical traditions of the Baptist, were these of them, in some cases very strongly, reinterpreted. The pseudepigraphic Gospels are characterized by very specific hermeneutics. In many cases descriptions of activities of John have the form of hagiography, which contains the wonderful elements. Sometimes the reflection about the Baptist have an abstractive dimension. The figure of John is by the authors of the pseudoepigraphic Gospels not only reproduced, but at the same time created. In this context plays an important role the Christian perspective as well as other forms of religiosity and spirituality.
Rola myślenia w religijnej i magicznej interpretacji rzeczywistości
Cholewa, Marcin; Gilski, Marek (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
It is difficult to precisely point out elements which are characteristic solely for religion or solely for magic. Due to this, the objective factor seems to be insufficient in accurate determination of a demarcation criterion between religion and magic. Therefore, there is a necessity of looking for other criteria allowing for such distinction. Thinking, as a subjective and relational category, seems to be a good opportunity for overcoming this difficulty. Three types of thinking differentiated in the article (thinking in the area of a norm, borderland thinking and pathological thinking) enable initial indication of similarities and differences between religious and magical thinking. On the other hand, making references to the texts of Durkheim, Malinowski, Frazer, Goode, Sieradzan, Wypustek or Pindel, i.e. authors who dealt with the relation between religion and magic during ancient times, became a starting point for formulating 13 criteria which differentiate and, at the same time, characterize two styles of thinking: religious and magical.
Sermonis brevitas amica. O długości kazania dawniej i dziś
Radej, Maciej (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, 2011)
The article is an analysis on the length of a sermon in the history of preaching. For centuries, it has been emphasized that conciseness is a friend of a sermon (sermonis brevitas amica) and a lot should be said just in a few words (multa in paucis) and – according to the Council of Trident – people should be preached “briefly and accessibly” (cum brevitate et facilitate sermonis). As an effect, there was a gradual reduction of sermons which in previous centuries were given for many hours into a ten minute Sunday homily which is expected nowadays. At the same time an interesting phenomena can be observed, namely that the very listeners would like to listen to longer sermons while retreat, concentration days or other important ceremonies during which they expect to be given deeper arguments on faith and moral life. Listeners do not feel bored with the length of a sermon if it is given by a charismatic preacher speaking with a great belief and passion.
