Kilka uwag o rozumności wiary w nauczaniu św. AugustynaTerka, Mariusz (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Wyższego Instytutu Teologicznego w Częstochowie, 2016)The teaching of St. Augustine about the relation between faith and reason should be considered in the intellectual context determined by ancient philosophy. For Plato faith is in it the beginning stage to cognition, in the Plato’s system it is crucial element relating mind and oversensual world; where Manichaeism reduces faith to mind, but scepticism questioning the value of every cognition, deprives mind of meaning and faith closes in sensual world. A point of departure for St. Augustine’s discussions is the analysis of human existence, of person who is immersed in sensual world and is blind to the light of God, which is determined by J. Ratzinger as “the situation of nonsalvation”. Faith leading a human to invisible things wakes the mind from being dulled and lets it think by giving confidence. The support which is given by faith is authority. Aspiring to understand, faith needs strengthen authority on solid because judicious bases. The reasoning of faith consists in searching God, in thinking which following the faith authority is still aspiring to understanding. That is why St. Augustine underlines that the understanding is the crowning the faith. However the situation of nonsalvation makes the faith authority leading the mind to invisible truth, order it to search using some visible things and basing on sensual forms, which are determined by St. Augustine as miracles of Christ and all Saints and especially the universality and enormity of Church. Because of it, faith in the area of St. Augustine’s teaching, a formula: intellige ut credas is unjustified, and only a thesis: crede ut intelligas can be right, because the necessary faith has to follow the understanding and to direct a person who needs salvation to the way of judicious searching God.Pozycja Posługa duszpasterska ks.

The essence of Christian life consists in possibly perfect obeying the Greatest Commandment. It is the communion the soul with God, which enables the person to take new way of reference to God, to a person themselves, neighbours and all creations and provokes the process of spiritual life which leads to holiness, so to mystical communion with God in love. The original love is the God’s gift instilled in Christian’s will during the Sacrament of Baptism and expresses the yearning for love. Jesus helps in this process of growing the love by enabling Christian to love Him, to devote to Him. The Christian by cooperation with Divine mercy makes love of desire perfect in aspiring to perfect love which is expressed in total devotion to God. God is the only one who person can be devoted to fully, perfectly, without existing for a person themselves. Love is a bridge between a human and God. Hence the communion with Him in love is the normal state of Christian, in which God becomes the inner source of human life and action. This total communion in love happens thanks to love cooperation with Divine mercy in the faith field. Every Christian person should approach to this communion because they are given in the Sacrament of Baptism, the gift of Love which directs all his power to Him. Mystical holiness, which is the result of love communion a human with God is achieved by the trial of cleansing. This process of love development has got two dimensions: sacrifice and communion. The result of cleansing which happens in the senses and powers is the communion of love. The mystical holiness is fulfilled in the spiritual nuptials, where the enormity of holiness is expressed in the agreement of human will with God’s will. In this devotion, the soul becomes overdivinited. It is the achievement of mystical holiness.Pozycja Od eklezjologicznej idei do formowania wspólnoty Kościoła lokalnego.

The goal of these remarks is to highlight the necessity for active participation of theology in contemporary debate on the appropriate shaping of the concept of secularity. It depends on theology whether this notion will develop the appropriate essential shape and will become “efficient” in socio-political sphere, that is in the “place” for which it is crucial. It is also significant in terms of defining the character of Christians’ involvement into politics. Taking this into consideration, we point out to the concept of secularity in the context of contemporary emphasis on demand for political neutrality or in other words for independence of religious influence. Reason is supposed to be the only political criterion. That is why the mission of theology is to point out that such understanding of the matter is totalitarian in character and it may lead directly to the dictatorship of relativism. Reason which wishes to remain faithful to itself cannot reject its personal relation to faith. When reason acts according to its proper assumptions and rational code of conduct, and when it is an inquiring mind, it cannot be closed to faith. The dictatorship of relativism leads to the dictatorship of technocracy and finally to the fall of man and to pushing him into nihilism. It shows that it is impossible to maintain laicism without transcendence. It is confirmed by the fact that relativism and technocracy result in destruction of the concept of the fundamental human rights. On-going events show that the true secularity not only accepts or tolerates transcendence but also feels the need for it and in real terms refers to it in political and cultural choices.Pozycja Adwokat stały w procesie o stwierdzenie nieważności małżeństwaNajgebauer, Sonia (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Wyższego Instytutu Teologicznego w Częstochowie, 2016)Since the position of the stable advocate has been established, various have been used to identify the person of the lawyer who becoming settled by the court and is rewarded by the same court.

In addition, he discovered the Polish school of the congregations of Blessed Honorat; Marian school (Saint S. Papczyński); Capuchin school of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century; school of Benedictine nuns (M. Mortęska).These are the first innovative researches relating to the source. These schools have played an important role in the spirituality of the Polish nation. Extensive pioneering research on Polish mysticism. Rev. Professor discovered five periods of the Polish “golden mystique”. I. From the twelfth to the seventeenth century; II. The seventeenth century; III. During the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century; IV. The second half of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century; V. XX interwar period. He conducts extensive pioneering research about the mysticism during those individual periods, of the mystics, about the mystical study and experiential mysticism. To say, that mystic experience aims to the total unification with God, means that he is ready at His disposal in an act of love in response to His love. Pioneering and innovative research on the Polish experiential mysticism, of Polish mystics. He discovered numerous groups of Polish mystics: of nuns and lay people. He developed experiential mysticism based on the 400th anniversary of the Bernardine sisters. He developed a pioneering and highly original description of the mystical life of Saint Faustina. Two editions were translated into Russian and English. Also excellent is the development of mysticism of mercy according to Saint Faustina. For these studies he received the prize of Skowyrów at the Catholic University of Lublin. He developed for the first time, the socalled experiential mysticism of women. In this experiential mysticism courageously he paid attention to the supernatural action in the psyche of man. Therefore, he is analyzing nights of darkness in the life of in dividual mystics, as the crucial element of the process of mystical life, preparing for accepting Gods action. He is dedicating a lot of attention to this issue. Even though he is giving examples of mystics, however, it is not dry referencing, but he provides his own original interpretation. So he isn’t dealing with the theology of the report. He discovered for the first time mystique message (message of), that is the message that Jesus passes through the mystics. He created a new concept of spiritual life. The spiritual life is not only an ascetic life, religious and moral. It is the basic foundation of spiritual life. Therefore, he developed the concept of dynamic spiritual life. It is a process and development of theological virtues from the moment of baptism until the mystical union with God in love (holiness).The development of the love of God and neighbor is the process of spiritual life. Therefore, spiritual life has a mystical dimension. We are dealing here with deep bond which exists between the bridegroom and the bride. Maximum love of God and love flowing from the love of neighbor is the process of holiness and Christian purpose of life. Because Homo Novus knows that God is Love, is Communio Personarum, which is why we can suggest that the mystical life of the new man, with his mystical experience is a constant penetration in the history of God’s love and the love of man to God. It is only in love, which is a personal relationship, it manifests itself the reality of the true God; the adventure of this amorous reality deliver the confessions of saints; the experience of experiential mysticism. That is why mystic and mystical experience is a specific area of action of the Holy Spirit; is the sacramental formation, which is not possible by only human forces. Such a mystique, a mystical experience is called by Rev. Professor “mystical fullness of the new man”. The task of man is not gaining of heroic virtues, but the achievement of an internal state of holiness. Therefore, it is giving an innovative definition of mysticism, the first in the theological literature. Courageously and rightly he writes that the mystic should take the helm of the civilization process and guide it so that each “new” mystical man could create a new type of mystical environment on the Earth, a new civilization of love on earth. Mystics are the best ministers of finance, will not embezzle any cent. Mystics are titans of work and prayer. The mystic does not complain about work, they do not know any fashionable today in the psychology of “burnout”. Hence, he devoted much attention to the studio mysticism, to show the development of the mystical life from the moment of spiritual baptism. This is an innovative concept, underpinned on the mystical tradition of the Church. It expresses the spiritual transformation of the Christian as an entity that develops his spiritual life until the mystical union with God in love. It is about the process of the sanctity, which is reached by mystical union with God, which is done through cooperation with supernatural gifts. Ignorance of this process brings to the mystical life to devotional practices that are designed to help in this process, and not be a target for the purpose. He draws attention to the danger of therapy, psychology, which completely rejects the spiritual formation of Christians. Spiritual life takes place in a constant voltage of mysticism and mystery, the rejection of the mystery leads mysticism to false tracks, it means: far away from the teaching of the Church. Mystical life must be the development of supernatural gifts, is a life in Christ. The highlight of Christian mysticism is open to Christ, because only in Him and through Him man recognizes True God and the dignity and value of itself as individuals. That love is the reason infinitely perfect life, which is in God because the most a perfect definition of God is Love. Such an understanding of love grips to perform works of charity. Mercy is expressed in three terms: attention in relation to needy, in compassion and in action. Fr. Professor originally developed the mystical experience that differs from religious experience. You could say that it has an open attitude to Christ and, therefore, must be widely open to the love of neighbor. You have to love Christ in every person. It has also a very real insight into the lived joy and suffering. You cannot follow Christ without a cross. He created a so called. “Method of content”, that is, research that relies on the analysis of content sources, especially on experiential mysticism and allows you to explore the development of the spiritual life of individuals and their personal way of holiness. You can talk about “supernatural phenomenology”, or phenomenological induction and deduction, which allows you to capture the process of man’s spiritual life based on the experiential mysticism in light of studio mysticism. Rev. Professor at first was dealing with the innovative study of Eco theology of the spirituality. The ecological spirituality is regarding the conservation of nature, the forming of the environment, as the place of the development of the spiritual man. It is a pioneering spurt of research because a man cannot exist or create beyond the natural world. He established the first Cathedral of Bioethics and Eco theology (UKSW). The scope of research is much broader, e.g. it covers the issues of formation, different stages of spirituality, prayer, spiritual leadership, sects, religion groups, false spiritual ideas of God, spirituality of Caritas, of soldier, of scout, spirituality of religious movements, of ecumenism, of culture, of politics, of media, of globalism, of communion, of education, of university, of entrepreneurs (a businessman), of the poor, spirituality of women and of fatherhood. Rev. Professor created a school of spiritual theology. Pioneering and innovative research portrayed above in the large outline are representing the concept of this school. This is confirmed by tremendous achievements.

Throughout the years 10 historical studies have been written to present the history of this college. After reading these works there is a picture of complicated legislative way which the authorities of diocese should have overcome to create from the scientific organisation (Secretary of Ecumenical Council Documentation) the college using the following titles one by one: Study of Ecumenical Council Documentation, Institute of Ecumenical Council Documentation, and finally Theological Institute. The first historical study was written by fr. prof. Stanisław Grzybek in 1991. Throughout the years fr. prof. Jan Kowalski (2000), fr. phd. Paweł Wolnicki (2006 and 2011) and fr. prof. Jan Związek (2009) took the research on this matter. All these works are very valuable in historical respect, because they are based on source materials and were used as a base by writing the next studies of this type, both scientific: fr. Jerzy Duchniewski, fr. Jan Walkusz (1997), fr. Władysław Piotr Wlaźlak (2014), fr. Jacek Kapuściński (2015), and scientific for the general public: fr. Mariusz Frukacz (2008), Beata Stypułkowska (2016).
