Agnusków zapomniana moc, sława i piękno ‒ rzecz o papieskim Agnus Dei
Nowiński, Janusz (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2011)
An Agnus Dei is an oval or round wax medallion (between 2.5 and 25 cm). It features Paschal Lamb and the inscription reading: Ecce Agnus Dei qui tollit peccata mundi on the obverse, as well as a representation of a saint on the reverse. It is signed with the name and in some cases the coat-of-anus of the pope who blessed the medallion. The history of the wax Agnus Deis started together with the custom of handing pieces of the Paschal candle preserved fonn the year before to the participants of the Easter liturgy in Roman basilicas. With time, the wax was being formed into plates with the picture of lamb pressed in it. These were given to the pilgrims who came to Rome to celebrate Easter there. The custom is recorded by Amalarius of Metz (d. 850) and Ordo Romanus from the turn of the ninth century. Starting from the 12th century, the Agnus Dei medallions were handed by the pope himself on the Saturday following Easter. Pope Clement VI ((1342-1352) initiated the routine of the popes editing Agnus Dei medallions every 7 years, beginning from their first year in office. From the 15th century onwards, the popes solemnly blessed the “Agnuses” by immersing them in holy water and saying special prayers. The rite was called “Christening of the Agnus Dei”. A wax medallion featuring the Paschal Lamb and blessed by the pope was considered a panacea for all ailments of the soul and body, as well as a protection against any powerful natural forces and evil spiritual powers. It was treated as a brandeum (substitute relics), since starting from the 16th century, the wax was mixed with ashes from the Roman catacombs. In order to avoid any abuse, especially selling of the Agnus Dei, Pope Clement VIII (1592-1605) commissioned the Roman Cistercians from Santa Croce Abbey to make the wax medallions. They were regarded as a special form of the papal gift and a sign of his blessing. Beginning from the 16th century, the pope, adhering to the rules defined in Caeremoniale Romanum, distributed the “Agnuses” every seven years on the Saturday preceding White Sunday (Dominica in Albis) during the Mass said at the Sistine Chapel by one of the cardinals. Agnus Dei medallions were displayed in reliquaries together with relics, in peace-reliquaries (pacificale, instrumentum pacis), or in the predella of the altar-piece; they were worn as pendants or, exquisitely framed, they were hanged on walls to protect houses; placed in special spheres at the top of spires, they were to protect against lightening striking. The almost entire millennium of the presence of the Agnus Dei medallions in the religious life of Europe began to come to a close with the reform of the Catholic Church initiated at the Vatican Council II. The last of them were blessed and distributed by Pope Paul VI in 1964 in the first year of his pontificate.
Aktualność warunków wojny sprawiedliwej na tle ostatnich konfliktów zbrojnych
Czekalski, Rafał (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2011)
This article deals with issues concerning the morality of war. It discusses when the use of force is justified and when it is simply a form of aggression. The current situation has contributed to the re-examination of issues surrounding warfare. New problems and issues have arisen, for example, terrorism and humanitarian intervention, which require an ethical response. This article is an attempt to answer some of these questions. An additional challenge that has to be met is the very nature of modern warfare. A. Zwoliński writes: “Old wars consisted in a battle against the enemy forces with the aim of coming to a quick decision as to which side was the stronger, and they ended with peace being made; ‘new wars’, however, are characterized by the dislocation of forces in time and space, resembling partisan warfare, and it is difficult to differentiate between war and peace (‘new wars’ have no clear end; they are not concluded with an appropriate legal instrument)”. Pacifism is yet another problem. We ask whether it is morally justifiable, whether or not contemporary man has the right to defend his interests (his country, nation)? Seen from the point of view of Catholic ethics, and in the light of papal declarations, it can be said that the pacifist stance is not a guarantee of peace but a certain form of utopia, which, unfortunately does not have a place in international relations. The aforementioned problems provoke constant reflection which should be encouraged both on the ethical as well as legal and political plane.

Epidemie w antycznych źródłach greckich i rzymskich
Iwańska, Judyta (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2011)
The present article aims at showing the way Greek and Roman historians saw epidemics, and what role these epidemics served. The causes, treatment and prevention of epidemics are also shown in various historical and literary source. The first paragraph presents epidemics as shown in Greek literature. To start with, epidemic in Athens in 429 BC described by Thucydides is shown. The same paragraph deals also with epidemics in ancient Rome under the guidance of Titus Livius and his History of Rome and descriptions of epidemics in Natural history by Plinius the Older. The biggest epidemics in Rome from the 2nd and 3rd century AD are presented on the basis of Life of Constantine and Church History by Eusebius of Caesarea. The only saved description of Galen’s Antonine Plague in Clavdi Galeni Opera Omnia, editionem cvravit C. G. Kuhn, tom X, Hildesheim 1965 is shown. Next, the description of epidemic witnessed by Cyprian of Carthage and included in his treatise On Mortality. Also based on the description by Eusebius of Caesarea, the epidemic from 312 AD is mentioned. Epidemic in Amid appears thanks to the materials by Ammianus Marcellinus in The Roman History. The 6th century is dominated by the epidemic called ’Plague of Justinian’ which was described by Procopius of Caesarea in History of the Wars, John of Ephesus in Ecclesiastical History. Evagrius Scholasticus also in Ecclesiastical History and Agathias in The Histories. The scope of this epidemic is also observed in the description by Gregory of Tours in The History of the Franks. Each of the epidemics is presented together with the preceding and accompanying events. To explain why problems of this kind are used in this article, M.Grmk’s word can be used. To present all the important problems connected with this subject: “The history of contagiou sdiseaseswould be the size of an epic. Legions of the deadwould have to be described together with inexpressible pain, great variety of micro-organisms, their biological changeability, the role of population density etc.”.
Integracja młodzieży emigracyjnej w Kościele katolickim w Szwecji
Chamarczuk, Mariusz (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2011)
The migration phenomenon always entails various consequences. There is a large sensitivity and understanding of this phenomenon within the interest and care of the Catholic Church. The current external and internal tendencies creating circumstances leading to isolation of migrants and marginalizing their presence, should be, in accordance with the teaching of the Church, overcome so that everyone, especially the young immigrants, could come to terms with his new environment, new country and culture, so that he will be able to realize his life plans and devote his time to those who constitute his new social network within the Christian community. The Catholic Church in Sweden, among its many initiatives and suggestions, tries, with different effects, to create a suitable climate for young immigrants’ integration anticipating it being the right way of building a Catholic community in a society indoctrinated by environments hostile to culture, history and catholic tradition and of the Catholic Church. The following article is an attempt to present the initiatives of the Catholic Church in Sweden in their efforts to achieve cultural integration of young immigrants with the help of Sveriges Unga Katoliker (Swedish Young Catholics) organization within its own activities and by way of cooperation with parishes and national missions.
Kompozytorzy polscy 1918-2000 ‒ kontynuacja
Podhajski, Marek (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2011)
The author discusses his inspirations and premises behind Polish Composers 1918-2000, which appeared in print in 2005, jointly published by the Warsaw and Gdańsk Academies of Music. It consists of two volumes ‒ Essays and Biographical Entries. The former presents a wide panorama of social, political and cultural phenomena, which influenced the development of Polish music in the 20th century. The second volume consists of around 1300 biographical entries. This paper contains remarks about the contents planned for the English version of the book. Two complementary sources of inspiration determined the book’s coming into being. The first, a belief that the accomplishments of Polish composers of the 20th century are just as outstanding as they are little-known. The second inspiration comes from an observation that the list of the finest musical compositions of the 20th century (289 items), compiled in 1992 by Leo Gerhartz from the European Radio Union, ranks Polish music as no. 12. It is represented by 10 compositions by 4 composers: Witold Lutosławski (5 compositions), Karol Szymanowski (2 compositions), Krzysztof Penderecki (2 compositions), and Ignacy Jan Paderewski (1 composition). At the outset of the research, two seemingly simple but essential questions had to be answered. The first one being who do we call a composer, and the other, who do we consider to be a Polish composer. In the author’s view, a composer is a person who has composed at least one musical composition, a piece which became known as an artistic fact. Here, “become known” means primarily a public performance of a piece. The author’s attention focused on the lives and works of the so-called classical composers. While searching for an answer to the question as to who can be considered a Polish composer, the author analyses statements made by outstanding Polish researchers. He shares their view that ‘Polishness’ should not be determined by nationality or language, but by participation in Polish culture, and an affiliation to it. The last part of the paper concerns the structure and contents of the English version of the book. It will be published jointly by the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin and Stanisław Moniuszko Academy of Music in Gdańsk. The book will not be a simple and direct translation of the Polish version. The contents of the Essays volume will be different, and the Biographical Entries volume will include, first of all, the following entries: winners of Polish and international composition competitions, composers who have rendered great services to Polish musical culture, priests-composers or other persons, whose creative activities are closely linked to the music of the Catholic Church, and representatives of the younger generation of composers, who have become known after the year 2000. The goal of the planned book is an attempt at proving the thesis that the contribution of Polish composers to the European cultural achievements, their outstanding accomplishments in the area of culture, are of the highest value.

Ksiądz Jan Bosko wobec wykluczenia społecznego młodzieży włoskiej w XIX wieku
Niewęgłowski, Jan (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2011)
Nowadays we use the term ‘social exclusion’. In the times of St. John Bosco the above mentioned term was not known but still the youth was affected by that fact. In the 19th century in Italy and in Piemonte in particular the fact of social exclusion was evident among the youth. This article is aimed to portray St. John Bosco as the one who helps the young socially excluded and deprived of family life. The very first reaction of John Bosco was his creation of his oratory for the young deprived of their own home. John Bosco would extend his offer of help to the young with the passage of time. He would build schools, boarding schools, junior high schools, vocational schools and other centres of education for them. He himself also created a unique method of educating of the young called “the preventive system”. He turned to religion, love and mind of the human-being who needs assistance and family atmosphere. The author also tries to highlight the social, economic and political situation of Italy of that time which contributed to the social exclusion of the young.
Kształtowanie się obrzędów święceń biskupa od „Tradycji Apostolskiej” do „Pontyfikału rzymsko-germańskiego” (zarys historyczno-liturgiczny)
Bartocha, Waldemar (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2011)
The article presents the history of formation of the ceremony of the ordination of a bishop during the period of time from III to X century. The Apostolic Tradition shows the ceremony of bishop sacramental orders in a light and relatively simple stiucture, in which is clearly isolated that, what belongs to its main point (prayer of ordination, laying on of hands). In the later Middle Ages liturgical codes are appearing secondary celebration elements (for example: solemnly of elect’s head). Their excessive development, in a consequence, leads to abscurity of that, what constituted a fundamental core in a structure of the ordination of a bishop.

Mass media i reklama a choroby cywilizacyjne: anoreksja i bulimia
Dycht, Marzena; Marszałek, Lidia (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2011)
Many educators, psychologists, sociologists and representatives of other social sciences draws attention to the increasing destruction of the body, mind and psyche of modern man. Support of this view may be that the emergence of an increasing number of disorders, mental illness and irrational behavior of people. Anorexia and bulimia have existed for many years, but in modern times, their range is seriously exacerbated. Contemporary media greatly determine the functioning and human development. Their unique position stems primarily from the fact that almost every man is still dependent on the main channel of global communication. New information technologies are global in nature, take a significant role in creating a culture of twenty-first century. They shape relationships, form a political and economic life of countries, develop personal patterns. Article covers the importance of developing issues of mass media for the spread of the phenomenon of anorexia and bulimia.

Nauka religii w szkołach w „Liście okólnym” Kongregacji Wychowania Katolickiego
Gałkowski, Tomasz (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2011)
Congregation for Catholic Education in Circular letter to the Presidents of Bishops’ conferences on religious education in schools (May 5, 2009) beholds the relationship between educational activity of the Church, which is the integral part of its mission, and decisions and wishes of the nations, which take care of the formation and development of a just society based on the respect for the human rights. In this formula can be found two fixed reference points of the Church regarding its mission in the modem world. The first is the permanent protection of the religious freedom and teaching religion, which are the part of the human rights. The second is the perception of the religious education as the part of the wider process of young people education. The consequence of such approach is the possibility of building the civil society based on religious and ethical values.

Początki religii pogańskich według Justyna Męczennika
Zyzek, Kacper (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2011)
The article shows the theory of creation of pagan myths and rites presented by Justin Martyr. According to it, in the early beginning of human history some angels came down on earth and intercoursed with men’s daughters. They sired demons which terrified people who treated them as gods. Therefore, cult due to real God was given to those diabolic creatures. Justin added to this theory some philosophical concepts of his age. Angels went down from heaven and demanded worship, because they fell into passion of cupidities (pathe epithumiori). It was connected with rejection of logos, that is unreasonable acting and disdain for God’s Word. People who delivered to demons also had this attitude. The apologist probably exerted the early Church’s interpretation of the Bible. He took some aspects of foregoing conception from jewish apocaliptics, platonism and stoicism.
Programowanie katechetyczne służące dynamizowaniu katechezy
Wrońska, Halina (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2011)
One of the main conditions for the effectiveness of each conscious and purposeful action, especially long-term and complex one, is the ability of programming. Whoever takes into consideration catechetical programming decides for a certain process requiring consideration and organisation of actions with reference to particular people and situations. In contemporary catechetical programming, an important premise is the revalorisation of diagnostic elaborations prepared with the participation of specialists in human arts and theology. Reliable assessment of reality leads to the indication of key issues with which the contemporarily catechised deal in Church and in the world. To solve them, detailed programmes which indicate the most vital decisions concerning means, methods and time of activity are necessary. The effectiveness of catechetical programming considerably depends on the ability to work as a team. Therefore, catechetical programming requires commitment of various groups and units, both educational and church ones. Participation and joint responsibility in Church do not only arise from good organisation indications. Most of all, they are the expression of the existence and activity of Church as a community.
Przyczynek do historii ruchu cecyliańskiego w Polsce
Grajewski, Czesław (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2011)
The Caecilian movement (XIX century) was mainly supposed to contribute to the increase in the standards of church music performances. Its ideas reached Poland relatively quickly and amongst honoured propagators of church music renewal, there was priest B. Maryański. In 1891, first issue of Calendar for rural organists (soon converted into yearbook), edited by B. Maryański, and was issued. These writings were supposed to help church musicians. The content of the article was prepared basing mainly on these yearbooks, which were considered as not remained. Their subject matter concentrates on the issue of the increase of the abilities and the extension of knowledge necessary to fulfil the organist’s tasks. Perfectly then, it fits religious journalistic mainstream of that period. Priest B. Maryański’s publication was definitely crucial, yet nowadays its hard to determine how wide range and level of influence it had.
