    Seiichi Yagiego japońska „chrystologia buddyjska”
    Klejnowski-Różycki, Dariusz (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2011)
    Japan is shintoist country where strong influences of Buddhism are present. There is small percentage of Christianity in Japan but it is Christianity that produced the greatest number of theologians in Asia, excluding India. One of the most interesting theologians who was inspired by Buddhism is Seiichi Yagi. In his christology he puts separately Logos, Christ and historic Jesus from Nazareth and by this he shows similarities to the concept of Buddha’s three bodies. Yagi applies Katsumi Takizawa’s ideas about two contacts with God. First contact assumes that God lives in every human being and second contact is the moment of illumination that led to creating Christ out of Jesus. The characters of Buddha and Jesus are similar to each other: both rejected egoistic ego and adopted true self through illumination.

    „Bóg umarł” – Allah żyje. Islam jako inspiracja budzenia gorliwości w iary
    Babiński, Jarosław (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2011)
    Islam is increasingly present in the world of European culture. This situation raises questions about the future shape of Europe as a result of the religious culture of Islam's confrontation with the secular culture of the Old Continent. The Roman Catholic Church is in favour of conducting a dialogue with Islam and cooperation for the development and defence of values which are important to both great religions. In the era of the “death of God” the fidelity and zeal of religious Muslims can be a special inspiration of religious awakening among Christians today. The return of Europe to her religious roots is a prerequisite for the duration of her cultural identity.

    Posługiwanie duchowne w kontekście kościelnej misji głoszenia Ewangelii w świetle dialogu katolicko-luterańskiego
    Jankoski, Andrzej (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2011)
    The purpose of the presented article is the investigation of preaching of the Gospel as a constitutive element of the Church in Catholic-Lutheran ecumenical dialogue. We can conclude that both Catholic and Lutheran revised their ecclesiological standpoints. In the course doctrinal dialogue both confessions admitted that the spiritual ministry is a necessary and constitutive factor of the Church. Indeed God saves the man by the word and sacraments, but without the ministry of those, who preach the Gospel and administer sacraments, divine salvific working would be impossible. An important aspect of the approaching of both confessions is an open attitude towards acknowledgment of sacramental character of the Lutheran ordination. Next, the doctrine of the Second Vatican Council approximated the Catholics to Lutheran subjection to the primacy of the Gospel. The minister isn’t over the Word of God, but under it. The clergymen have to listen it with a deep estimation, keep it and truly explain it. According to the doctrine of Catholic Church and the Lutheran Communities only an ordained minister is entitled to preach the Gospel. In the Catholic Church there can be a bishop, a presbyter or a deacon, in the Lutheran Church an ordained minister, although in particular circumstances a community can assign someone from its members. Such possibility constitutes an essential ecclesiological difference. In the ecumenical dialogue an understanding of the ministry of the episkope cause difficulties. Luther and his followers faced with the necessity of ministry of the Word and sacraments ordered by themselves new pastors. Although Luther and Melanchton wanted to preserve the episcopal ministry, nevertheless among the majority of the Lutheran Communities it appeared impossible. From the catholic point of view, the decline of the episcopate by Lutherans caused the loss of the apostolic succession. In Catholic-Lutheran dialogue emerge in this context a distinction between the internal and the external succession. The former one consists in the interrupted series of laying on of hands, the other consists in continuation of the apostolic faith, i.e. passing of genuine truth of the Gospel and apostolic Tradition inseparably connected with it. So the Catholic and Lutherans have to face question whether internal succession such understood is sufficient to preserve apostolic character of the Church. The Catholic-Lutheran dialogue suggested a conclusion, that the ministry of presbyter is indispensable for building the ecclesial community in regards to the office of preaching of the Gospel and administering of the sacraments. As far as for the Lutherans the office of the presbyters is necessary, while the existence of the bishop seems to be solely useful, for the Catholics the bishops are the followers of the Apostles, guardians of the faith and continuers of the apostolic Tradition. Such difference can warrant further research in common dialogue.

    Dwa płuca – model chrześcijańskiej kultury według Wiaczesława Iwanowa i Jana Pawła II
    Рek, Kazimierz (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2011)
    When in 1926 Vyacheslav Ivanovich Ivanov (d. 1949) confessed faith in the Catholic Church, he wrote that for the first time he truly felt a member of the Orthodox Church, having been breathing before with only one lung. In this way the Russian thinker and poet openly accepted the Christian heritage of the East and West. He is now known as the author of the idea of two lungs. A seminar was devoted to the idea in Rome in 1983. During an audience with the delegates, Pope John Paul II said that the idea was also close to his heart, which he had made known during his first pilgrimage to France in 1980 and later in his Redemptoris Mater (1987) encyclical. The conception of the two lungs of the Church and of Europe developed on the basis of the Christian doctrine of God in three persons, which reconciles unity with diversity. The unity can be realized at the Church level (between the Orthodox and the Catholic churches) or at the social level (unity in and of Europe). The teaching of Vyacheslav Ivanov and John Paul II can also be inspiring in one’s considerations of culture and faith.

    Akcja rozbiórek cerkwi na Lubelszczyźnie w roku 1938 . Problem odpowiedzialności Kościoła katolickiego
    Grzesiak, Krzysztof (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2011)
    In 2008 the Polish Orthodox Church celebrated the seventieth anniversary of the mass demolition of the orthodox churches in the province of Lublin. In the period from May to July of that year, about 130 church buildings were destroyed. They were of Greek Catholic or Eastern Orthodox origin and have been closed since 1918: they have not been claimed by the Catholic Church nor become permanent Orthodox parishes recognized by the State. The anniversary celebrations were characterized by a great organization and miscellaneous character: liturgical, cultural and scientific (symposia, exhibitions, publications). The campaign of 1938 has been again described in many research aspects. At present, it is universally evaluated very negatively as an enormous evil done to the Eastern Orthodox community, but also to the Polish raison d'etat. In this situation arises the question of the participation of Catholic communities in the infamous project. In fact, for a long time, there have been formulated opinions that the Catholic Church would has participated, and even inspired the whole campaign. In the shadow of the direct allegations there was the Diocese of Lublin, in which existed most of the destroyed Eastern Orthodox Churches, and also its ordinary - Bishop Marian Leon Fulman. Meanwhile, the bishop disapproved resolutely the demolition activities at its beginning. Also the Polish Episcopate refused to participate in the demolition. The Greek Catholic Archbishop Andrzej Szeptycki condemned it very strongly. The clergy of the Lublin Diocese initially treated the affair fairly indifferently. The cases of active defense of the churches were not frequent, but also rare were the occasions when the Catholic priests supported the demolition activities. The clergy criticized the drastic methods of temples destruction. They did not cause a conversion of the Orthodox faithful to the Catholic Church, but rather they provoked among them a great annoyance and hostility toward the Catholic Church and the Polish state. The laity represented different opinions. Some have seen in the demolition an act of historical justice, because in the period of national captivity the Russian Orthodox Church was a repressive tool of Russian policy towards the Polish people and the Catholic Church, especially the Greek Catholic Church. With time however, other views prevailed. The activities of 1938 had a deplorable impact on the Polish-Ukrainian relations, including the neighborhood dimension, and led to the tragedy of fratricidal conflict during the Nazi occupation. Today, the relations between the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches in Poland have improved. However, it's still actual a demand for ecumenical reflection on the complex mutual history, in which the both sides have been persecuted.

    Uczniowie Eliasza i Elizeusza. U źródeł inności monastycyzmu orientalnego
    Żelazny, Jan Witold (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2011)
    In Syrian tradition, the monk is presented as the inheritor of the customs from the prophets in the Old Testament. According to the first Syrian patristic scholars, the lives of two prophets, in particular Elijah’s and Elisha’s, illustrated the monk’s vocation. This applied not only to Elijah’s and Elisha’s vocation to a life of asceticism, fasting, penance and purity, but also to their many narrative aspects. What distinguished them was their zeal and enthusiasm in defending the true faith. For the Eastern monk, the prophets’ unique manner of involvement in the struggle for the truth became the hallmark of his own vocation and task in the Church community. The Syrian monk was therefore, the guardian of his people, and its purity of faith. In this way, his mission was different from that which the monks fulfilled in the West, where the question of doctrine and orthodoxy was primarily the responsibility of the hierarchy's. Such an understanding, of the monastic vocation, found a specific anchoring in the Eastern communities’ ecclesiology. It seems that this aspect of the monastic vocation concerned not only this movement’s first period of development, but had, and has (in some respects) its continuation to this day.

    Małżeństwo w luterańskich pismach wyznaniowych
    Jaskóła, Piotr (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2011)
    The present study focuses on the topic of marriage and offers theological analysis of Lutheran Churches’ confessional writings, consisting of the following books: “Small Catechism, Large Catechism, The Augsburg Confession, The Apology of the Augsburg Confession, Schmalkald Articles, Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope and the Formula of Concord”. Lutheran confessional writings treat the topic of marriage briefly and selectively. What is essential in the confessional writings is primarily the doctrine of justification. In places where this doctrine seemed to be undermined or threatened, there one notices not only a very critical opinion and evaluation, but also a sharp, polemical vocabulary. This is clearly visible in the criticism of the compulsory celibacy for priests, and criticism of assigning greater value to living in an unmarried state rather than married. Lutheran confessional writings concur, that marriage belongs to the order of creation. If marriage is a natural God-created institution, hence by the law of nature man has the right to marry. Marriage thus can neither be prohibited nor dissolved. The authors of the confessional books are in agreement, that marriage is not a sacrament, because it is not connected to the promise of grace. This assumption does not mean, that marriage has nothing to do with Jesus Christ, and therefore with salvation. The rejection of the sacramental character of marriage, the subordination of marriage to secular structures and the introduction of a clear division between the promises relating to life in the flesh, and the promises of grace, allows one to see whence comes human justification. A man is not justified either by marriage or by unmarried state, but only and exclusively through Jesus Christ.

    Eklezjologia Jana Wesleya
    Zuber, Dariusz (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2011)
    Article presents the ecclesiology of the founder of Methodist Church rev. John Wesley. The first chapter describes the functioning of Methodist Associations in the context of their theological and formal ties with Anglican Church. The differences and similarities between Anglicanism and Methodism (its early version) are the main point of the chapter. The second chapter presents the crucial points of Wesley’s ecclesiology. At first part of the chapter the main points of Wesleyan understanding of church are deeply described (oneness, unity, holiness, universality, apostolicity). The following parts of the chapter are devoted to analysis of the means of grace and sacraments and also the system of government in Methodist Church, especially the understanding of the role of bishop in the church. This part of article is crucial because it shows the Wesleyan withdrawal from Anglican ecclesiology. It influenced on founding of Episcopal Methodist Church in America what happened when Wesley was living. The last chapter characterizes the doctrinal rules which were established by Wesley and also the process of their creation and their background.

    Prawa mniejszości w nauce Kościoła na tle dokumentów międzynarodowych – zagadnienie ich wykorzystania w dialogu o małżeństwach mieszanych
    Górecki, Edward (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2011)
    The article deals with the question of the minorities’ rights, which are determined and guarded by international acts. Its importance is also considered and stressed in the Church’s teaching about national, ethnical, cultural and confessional minorities. The Church takes care of various minorities and educates to respect them. The understanding and practical appliance of minorities’ rights can be useful on the field of regulations in the case of mixed marriages. Despite of this the most important thing in the martial life of woman and man who belong to different Christian confessions is however respectful and mature approach, which considers the dignity of each human person.

    Súčasná situácia miešaných kanonických manželstiev katolíkov a pravoslávnych na Slovensku
    Citbaj, František (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2011)
    This lecture discusses about mixed marriages of Catholics and Orthodox in Slovakia. In short historical part points of canonical development these mixed marriages in different periods and recent history. It also points of actual canonical solution about situation of mixed marriages of Catholics with the Orthodox. In this area it can not be unnoticed the fact, that Catholic Church has in relation to ecumenism and also in relation to ecumenical marriage which is between Orthodox and Catholic drawn canonical system. It is legally obligatory and very open to these marriages. On the other hand, nowadays it is not possible to speak about ecumenical marriage between Catholics and Orthodox in Slovakia. Canonic law used by the Orthodox Church in Slovakia is for mixed marriage very negative, even it is refused.

    Pastoračná starostlivosť gréckokatolíckej Cirkvi o rodiny počas druhej svetovej vojny na území slovenská
    Borza, Peter (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2011)
    The Second World War significantly influenced the lives of Christians in Slovakia, despite the fact that the actual combat operations are affected to the territory of Slovakia in 1944. New conditions for the split of Czechoslovakia, Poland and the war against the Soviet Union and in particular racial laws against Jews created the need for pastoral adaptation to adverse conditions. The study is the pastoral action of the Greek Catholic Church in the years 1939-1945, which particularly focused on saving the lives of racially persecuted Jewish families during and after combat operations has been much attention paid to the families and the families of refugees who escaped from the approaching Red Army. The study is divided into three parts and is presented in the first religious- social situation of the Greek Catholic Church in Slovakia in 1939-1945. The next two sections are devoted to pastoral practice in rescue racially persecuted in the last third of the terms of pastoral care to families or individuals on the run or in immediate danger of war.

    Príprava na manželstvo ako nutnosť a priorita pastoračnej a katechetickej činnosti cirkvi
    Tirpák, Peter (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2011)
    Preparing young people for the sacrament of marriage is more important in modern times than ever before. In some countries it is the family itself which according to ancient customs pass forward values regarding marriage and family life. However the changes that have taken place in modern societies require Church (in addition to the families) to participates on the premarital preparation. The effort of the submitted paper is to help perceive the period of preparation for marriage as a time in which God acts in order to help build between male and female intimate communion of life and love.

    Małżeństwa mieszane. Wybrane zagadnienia z praktyki kurialnej
    Majer, Piotr (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2011)
    The article presents some controversial issues, which can be awkward to handle in the diocesan curia practice while processing the petitions of the spouses for the required permission for lawfully contracting mixed marriages. The following problems have been gathered and analysed: 1) Just and reasonable cause of giving permission, which in practice - in distinction from the previous Code - is limited today to a serious intention of contracting a marriage with a baptized non-Catholic. 2) Statements (guarantees) of the spouses: it must be underlined that - contrary to widely spread opinions - they have an ecumenical sense in canon law. A non-Catholic party does not undertake anything, but he or she must be informed about obligations assumed by a catholic party. A catholic party is not obliged to promise that all the children will be baptized and brought up in the catholic Church, but only that he or she will do all in his or her power to make it happen. 3) Establishing the freedom to marry: this requirement in case of mixed marriages can cause some problems when the non-Catholic party’s freedom to marry is established on the basis of the documents, also because the previous civil marriage, contracted by the party in question, is often to be considered as a valid and indissoluble marriage. In this case the bond of a previous marriage prohibits entering the new marriage. 4) Instruction of the both parties about the aims and the essential properties of marriage, which cannot be excluded by any of the parties. The requirement concerns every single marriage and, in case of mixed marriages, is all the more important because non-Catholics can be driven by rules and opinions incoherent with the catholic doctrine (it is a problem of the so-called one-side-marriages). 5) Canonical form of mixed marriages which, as a rule, are to be contracted outside the Mass, because of the frequent difficulties of receiving the Holy Communion by a non-Catholic spouse, as well as witnesses and other non-Catholics in attendance.
