Value of Images and Symbols in Theological and Spiritual Reflection on Christian Spiritual Experience
Zarzycki, Stanisław T. (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
The article explains the concept of a spiritual experience in the context of a broadly understood experience. The author highlights the anthropological aspect of symbols and links them with human spiritual consciousness. The article concentrates on symbols occurring in the Bible and their use in symbolic acts performed by the prophets and by Jesus Christ. It shows the spiritual role of symbols in the Gospel of John and defines the role of symbols in spiritual experience realized in the context of prayer, liturgy and mysticism.
Liturgical Monody as a Subject of Musicological Research – an Attempt at a Synthesis
Wiśniewski, Piotr (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
Until the Second Vatican Council, Gregorian chant was the only type of sacred song classified as the liturgical monody. Currently, the liturgical monody covers various genres of music, from Gregorian chants to contemporary compositions contained in manifold liturgical books. Preserved manuscripts provide a source of knowledge about the epoch, ways of worshipping God and the musical tradition prevailing at that time. A wide range of topics addressed by Polish musicologists include all genres and forms of the liturgical monody that constitute musical tradition of the Church. Studies of historical sources and analytical studies bear testimony to Poland’s substantial contribution to the musical culture of Europe.
Specific Image of the Church and Evangelization in Saint Bede the Venerable’s Commentary on the Apocalypse
Sztuk, Dariusz (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
Numerous passages of the Book of Revelations, beginning with the prologue (Rev. 1), through letters to the seven Churches (Rev. 2-3), to the vision of the Heavenly Jerusalem (Rev. 21), accentuate the image of the Church as well as the role of God’s word and the issuing necessity to preach it. Those themes found their reflection in the Commentary on the Apocalypse, composed by Bede the Venerable in the first period of his erudite exegetical creative output. This article, in three subsequent stages presents the following themes: 1) the image of the Church; 2) proclamation of the word of God by the Church; 3) attributes and tasks of God’s word preachers.
Catholics and Gender Theories: Understanding Human Sexuality in the Educational Process
Składanowski, Marcin (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
The anthropological and ethical disputes in some conservative Catholic circles often refer to the problem of gender equality, particularly in the educational process. They lead to a confrontation between traditional communities, on the one hand, and on the other hand, open or liberal ones. In this context, the article aims to indicate (1) the anthropological and ethical foundations of the education based on the principle of gender equality, and (2) educational demands that result from it. Further, (3) these fundamentals will be scrutinised against Catholic anthropological and ethical criticism.

Bołdak, Agnieszka; Płoskonka, Przemysław; Gołębieska, Karolina; Bollason, Kjartan (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
In recent years we have observed rapid aging of societies. An important role in maintaining high quality of life as regards seniors is played by proper medical care as well as physical and mental activity. The aim of the present research was to determine the role of participating in organized forms of recreational activity in the process of successful aging. The conducted research was based on a questionnaire and it involved 64 participants of a recreational and sports event, Seniorada, addressed to seniors and their relatives. The findings have shown that recreational events play an important role in the process of integrating the seniors’ environment, promoting entertainment and physical activity and, moreover, they help the elderly acquire new skills and improve well-being.
The Limits of Freedom in Tourism
Mosz, Jakub; Majdak, Piotr (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
The present article provides reflection on the limits of freedom in tourism with special emphasis on the attitudes of tourists behaving on the verge of what is acceptable and unacceptable from the social and moral points of view. The attitude of tourists may take the form of egoistic hedonism manifested in kind and acceptable behavior, which is natural for tourist practice, or in border behavior, which violates both social and legal norms and is, therefore, morally unacceptable. The analysis of these borderline situations points to momentous character of the issue of the limits of freedom in tourism and their cultural conditioning.
Christian Martyrdom Never Expires: Some Theological and Ethical Aspects of Obedience “usque ad sanguinem”
Nowosad, Sławomir (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
Poprzez całe dzieje chrześcijaństwa męczeństwo było szczególnym znakiem wierności wierze w Boga i wyrazem posłuszeństwa na wzór samego Chrystusa. Zarazem było i jest znakiem miłości “do końca” i sprzeciwu wobec każdej kultury, która głosi odium fidei. Jednocześnie w nauczaniu Kościoła dostrzega się ewolucję rozumienia tego odium, które coraz szerzej obejmuje również kontekst kulturowy czy społeczny. W swojej encyklice moralnej Jan Paweł II wskazuje na kilka szczególnych argumentów na rzecz aktualności i znaczenia postawy męczeństwa, które staje na straży nie tylko samej wiary, ale również życia moralnego tych, którzy wierzą. Wiara i moralność są bowiem nierozerwalne. Dlatego świadectwo męczeństwa potwierdza blask prawdy moralnej, a więc zobowiązującą wierność wymaganiom prawa moralnego wypływającym z godności osoby ludzkiej, ukazuje świętość prawa Bożego, a zarazem jawi się jako znak świętości Kościoła.
Origen as a Source of Evagrian Eight Passionate Thoughts
Misiarczyk, Leszek (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
This study focuses on the question of if and in what sense Origen can be considered as the source of the Evagrian teaching of the eight passionate thoughts. Origen is his source in the indirect sense, as the terminological inspiration of particular passionate thoughts. Evagrius has taken over from the New Testament the three so-called fundamental passionate thoughts (gluttony, avarice and vainglory) and the limitation of their number to the eight principal thoughts. The description of cause-and-effect relationships between all eight passionate thoughts, both in the empirical order and in the spiritual struggle between the individual thoughts, is a personal contribution of Evagrius, based on his own experience and the spiritual direction of other monks.
Why Socialist Realism? Space and Propaganda – the Birth of Myth
Kwiatkowski, Jacek Wojciech (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
There is no single definition of socialist realism, nor is there a single name ‒ either in Europe or in the world, for the entire propaganda and artistic movement. Technically speaking, the name of socialist realism is not widely used in Russia itself, but it is difficult to overestimate its role in the birth of a new myth, a new transcultural code that emerged nearly 10 years after the October Revolution as a result of rejecting constructivist accomplishments by the political establishment. The article strives to search not only for the definition but also for the roots of socialist realism, by mapping out new paths of its cognition. The role of propaganda in the recent history of Russia, is generally underestimated.
Post-Communism, Liberalism and Solidarity in the Countries of Central and Eastern Europe after 1989
Kobyliński, Andrzej (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
The main aim of this article is to analyze the transition from communism to post-communism in the Eastern Bloc countries after 1989. Post-communism in Central and Eastern Europe gradually transformed into various forms of democracy. The political project implemented in post-communist societies is a selective kind of liberalism, which entailed a number of negative consequences. Unfortunately, in the process of transition from post-communism to liberal democracy, a very small role was played by the category of solidarity as an important virtue of social life. We need today a global expansion of solidarity as a new worldwide ethos.
Axiology of the Ethical and Social Teachings of John Paul II: a Research Problem
Kobylińska, Zdzisława (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
The aim of this article is to present the research problem of the reconstruction and presentation of the axiological layer of the ethical and social teachings of John Paul II, which is implicitly included in his papal writings and documents. The innovative nature of this research results from the fact that until now none of the known publications of his teachings have systematically and thoroughly laid out axiological problems, which constitute an immanent part of his teaching. Papal teaching is generally subjected to analytical and synthetic research from the point of view of theology, Catholic social science, sociology, political sciences and at times philosophy, but never from the point of view of the theory of values. The research will be the first attempt to synthesize the axiological thought of the transcendental humanism of John Paul II.
The Retreatism Process of Hikikomori People on the Example of 24 Japanese Hikikomori Clients
Kalita, Karolina (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
In this publication I present a fragment of the results of my doctoral thesis, in which assuming in the sociological perspective that I am dealing with an example or a form of one of five types of adaptation to the situation of anomie named by the American sociologist Robert K. Merton: “retreatism”, on the example of 24 Japanese Hikikomori clients, described a problem being at the center of my scientific interests ‒ the Shakaiteki Hikikomori (Eng. Social Withdrawal) in Japan (i.a. the profile of Hikikomori person, the retreatism process of Hikikomori people, the socio-cultural factors favoring the retreatism option in the form of Hikikomori etc.) More specifically, in this publication I present the retreatism process of Hikikomori people.
Methodological Status of the Social Doctrine of the Church before the Second Vatican Council
Gocko, Jerzy (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
The present article raises the issue of the methodological status of the Church’s social doctrine from its beginnings, namely, from the social teaching of Leo XIII, to the Second Vatican Council. In the first part, the author highlights the substantial role of the Magisterium in constituting the Church’s social doctrine. The second part, presents an analysis of the key social documents of the Church, with particular emphasis on methodological strands. The reflection is based on the assumption that the Church’s social doctrine is not just another ecclesial scientific discipline, since it involves a more complex reality in terms of practitioners, methods, sources of cognition or, finally, the nature of assertions formulated within that area of science.
Social Insurance for Clergymen under Canon Law
Domaszk, Arkadiusz (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
The present paper raises the issue of social insurance for the clergy in the Catholic Church. The first part provides the historical background, norms of the 1917 Code of Canon Law and indications of the Second Vatican Council. The next part discusses the current decrees of canon law and solutions adopted in Poland. At present, the Church has abandoned the beneficial system. Systemic church solutions are based on state legislation. In their absence, decisions are made by the Bishops’ Conference, as well as individual particular Churches. It refers both to social and health insurance.
Turbulence around Patriotism: Philosophical Perspective
Boużyk, Maria M. (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
Celem artykułu jest określenie miejsca patriotyzmu wśród innych wartości uniwersalnych oraz refleksja filozoficzna nad jego aktualną formułą. Analizę prowadzi się w oparciu o filozofię klasyczną (Arystotelesa, Tomasza z Akwinu, J. Maritaina, E. Gilsona, J. Woronieckiego, J. M. I. Bocheńskiego, M. A. Krąpca, Jana Pawła II). Artykuł składa się z dwóch części. W części 1 zostaje postawionych kilka pytań na temat patriotyzmu w związku z trwającymi przemianami kulturowymi. W części 2, aby zaproponować odpowiedzi na te pytania, rozważa się patriotyzm jako cnotę w nawiązaniu do klasycznej etyki.
The Question Concerning Human Action
Bombała, Bronisław (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2018)
The paper presents phenomenological and hermeneutical approach of human action in 20th century. There were two important cultural phenomena in the twentieth century. On the one hand, the growing expansion of technopoly, which based its operation on instrumental rationality and therefore affected destructively the spiritual realm of man, was growing, on the other hand, there were attempts to apply to the economy humanistic and personalistic vision of management, based on axiological rationality. Studies and projects belonging to humanistic stream are based on the assumption that at turning points of history human labour became deprived of its human nature. Hermeneutical and phenomenological analysis allows to indicate the sources of this dehumanization. Phenomenological analysis has discovered that in a technopoly human being has been deprived of her/his transcendental dimension and reduced to one of the factors of production. Hermeneutical analysis has discoverd eidos of human action: Norwid’s church of work, Brzozowski’s creation of will, Teilhard de Chardin’a holy march of mankind, and Tymieniecka’s the human creative act. The essence of the phenomenological approach of human action is to build a “community of work” that allows personal development through work as well as cooperation.
