From the very beginning, the Church took upon herself the care of those to be married. Therefore, She placed upon Her spiritual pastors the obligation to prepare the faithful for the Sacrament of Matrimony. Aware of the fact that marriage is such an important occurrence in the lives of the engaged couple, and in the lives of the entire community of the faithful, the Church felt obligated to provide pastoral aid for young people in preparation for marriage. It is no wonder that the Codex Iuris Canonici of 1917 obligates spiritual guides to carefully and sensibly teach the faithful about the sacrament of matrimony and its hindrances. This topic also found its reflection in the resolutions of the First Synod of the Diocese of Tarnow. The resolutions put to rest the lawful disposition of the topic of a premarital exam which confirms that one is free to marry, and to announce the banns in order to remove any obstacles to marriage. Presented in such a way - using precautionary measures - the pastor diligently uproots these obstacles, allowing him to assist in the completion of the marriage in a weighty and agreeable manner.

Przepowiadanie słowa Bożego jest jednym z najważniejszych zadań spoczywających na Kościele. Słowo Boże jest darem dla całego Kościoła. W jego przekazie uczestniczą przede wszystkim prezbiterzy. Głoszenie słowa Bożego jest obowiązkiem i uprawnieniem wyni­kającym z przyjętego przez nich sakramentu święceń. Magisterium Kościoła, a zwłaszcza adhort. apost. Verbum Domini w kilku miejscach podjęła zagadnienie związane z prze­powia­daniem tego słowa przez prezbiterów. Papieski dokument przedstawia wskazówki dla kapłanów dotyczące głoszenia homilii, modlitwy Liturgią godzin, przeprowadzania nabożeństw słowa Bożego, odnoszące się do wartości milczenia, uroczystego głoszenia słowa Bożego w świątyni, duszpasterstwa biblijnego, miejsca słowa Bożego w katechezie oraz w życiu kapłana.

It is the duty of the judge to care for justice and peace in the community of God’s people. Justice is a virtue which the judge ought to demand also from himself. Therefore, he should permanently improve moral precepts in himself. He ought to develop good manners and everything which can influence the realization of the principle of justice. The article “The principle of justice in the service of the judge of ecclesiastical court” consists of three parts. The first part deals in general with the notion of justice itself. In the second part, some statements of the Popes, John Paul II and Benedict XVI, on justice in ecclesiastical courts are presented. The notion of justice as an essential attribute of the judge of ecclesiastical court is discussed in the third part of the article.

The paper-based on John Paul II’s three encyclicals: Laborem exercens, Sollicitudo rei socialis, Centesimus annus – undertakes the issue of defense of human freedom, which is the founding block of all human rights. Human freedom and personal dignity can be ensured only by the Gospel, which rejects any bondage or captivity, and preaches human rights. It should become the essential criterion in shaping a state policy as well as in evaluating ideologies, political systems and action programs. To begin with, the issue of freedom is presented as a basic human right. Next, the issue of freedom with reference to the spiritual life and, more generally, to the right to life, is analyzed. Finally, the issue of the relation between freedom and economic activity is raised, where the right to work and the right to unite are given ample consideration.

This article analyses the last four synods of the diocese of Tarnów, highlighting their structure and course. Diocesan synods grow out of the needs of the particular Church; they shape the ecclesial reality most clearly by the formulated disciplinary, pastoral and spiritual proposals, reaching the very basic ecclesiastical and social environments. Each synod has its specific meaning in the history of the diocese, and its impact is certainly not limited to the formulated proposals. A diocesan synod has a very important function in the process of formation of the particular Church. The synods of the Diocese of Tarnów were the place of meeting of and dialogue between the bishop, the clergy and the laity of the Church in Tarnów. The present article discusses five points : ”Legal grounds”, “First Synod of the Diocese of Tarnów – 1928”, “Second Synod of the Diocese of Tarnów – 1938”, “Third Synod of the Diocese of Tarnów – 1948”, “Fourth Synod of the Diocese of Tarnów – 1986”.

The mission of the Church is evangelisation and not acquisition of capital. It is good if the Church has sufficient financial means necessary to fulfil its mission. The Catholic Church has the inherent right, independently of any secular power, to acquire, retain, administer and alienate temporal goods, in pursuit of its proper objectives (can. 1254 of the Code of Canon Law). In order to fulfil its mission in the world, the Church needs to be supported by appropriate material goods and the freedom to administer them. The Code of Canon Law of 1983 introduced a new regulation regarding ecclesiastical property, so as to make sure that the Church could better suit the concept of a “poor Church” that, being in the need of economic resources to achieve its goals, focuses on the instrumental task of such resources: so that the faithful fulfilled their duty in the form of helping in maintaining the Church and its works as part of their fundamental rights and obligations related to the temporal goods; so that spiritual goal of ecclesiastical offices was emphasised and the revenues received were justly distributed. The Polish Episcopal Conference on 25 August 2015 approved the Instruction on the Administration of Ecclesiastical Temporal Goods. In the present article four points will be discussed: The right of the Church to the acquisition, holding and alienating of temporal goods; the Instruction of the Polish Episcopal Conference on the acquisition of temporal goods; the Instruction of the Polish Episcopal Conference on the administration of temporal goods and contracts; the Remuneration for priests.

Obedience raises an attitude of availability. The priest who obeys the bishop is not looking himself and his will, but the will of Christ and the good of the Church. There is no obedience without asceticism, work on yourself, and without the spirit of prayer and sacrifice. The priest who is capable to full obedience, is the one who breaks his selfishness, and his will and glory.The Congregation for the Clergy developing renewed Directory for the Ministry and Life of Priests, tried to focus on the most significant aspects of the teaching of the Church concerning sacred ministry, referring to the essential documents of John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Among these aspects was a question of obedience. This article takes only some elements of obedience, which are the availability of the priest, his obedience to a superior, respect for liturgical norms and ecclesiastical attire.

Posłuszeństwo rodzi postawę dyspozycyjności. Kapłan posłuszny biskupowi nie szuka siebie i swej woli, ale woli Chrystusa i dobra Kościoła. Nie ma posłuszeństwa bez ascezy, pracy nad sobą, bez ducha modlitwy i wyrzeczenia. Tylko ten jest zdolny do pełnego posłuszeństwa, kto wciąż przełamuje swój egoizm, chęć szukania siebie, swej woli i swej chwały.Kongregacja ds. Duchowieństwa, opracowując odnowione Dyrektorium o posłudze i życiu prezbiterów, starała się położyć akcent na najbardziej znaczące aspekty nauczania kościelnego dotyczące świętej posługi, odwołując się do zasadniczych dokumentów papieży: Jana Pawła II oraz Benedykta XVI. Wśród tych aspektów znalazło się zagadnienie posłuszeństwa. Artykuł podejmie jedynie wybrane elementy posłuszeństwa, jakimi są dyspozycyjność prezbitera, jego posłuszeństwo wobec przełożonego, szacunek dla norm liturgicznych oraz ubiór kościelny.

During this year’s homily on Holy Thursday Pope Benedict XVI explored the subject of priestly obedience. He drew attention to some European priests’ incitement to disobedience which ignored the teaching of the Magisterium of the Church. This article argues for the importance and role of priestly obedience in the Catholic Church. Firstly, it identifies the nature of obedience through a close examination of the documents of the Second Vatican Council. Secondly, it identifies Pope Paul VI teaching on obedience through the magisterium of the Church. Finally, the nature of obedience in the Code of the Canon Law from 1983 onwards as well as practical manifestations of obedience pursuant to the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples is discussed.

The article addresses the issue if legal requirements regulating liturgical music and singing. There is no mention of it in The Code of Canon Law of 1983. However, the last one hundred and fifty years were characterised in this respect by two great reforms. The first one of 1903 was conducted by Pope Pius X, and the second one was done by means of the Second Vatican Council. The main subject of the first reform was the recovery of the „purity” of music in response to numerous instances of abuse which polluted liturgical music. The second reform was aimed at active and conscious participation of the faithful during a liturgical assembly. This paper presents the most important documents regarding this subject after the Second Vatican Council, including the Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum concilium), Musicam sacram instruction and – with regard to the Polish background – Polish Episcopate instruction of 8 February 1979 on liturgical music.

The Code of Canon Law of John Paul II sets forth in can. 998 as follows: “The anointing of the sick, by which the Church commends to the suffering and glori fi ed Lord the faithful who are dangerously ill, so that he may support and save them, is conferred by anointing them with oil and pronouncing the words prescribed in the liturgical books”.Through this sacramental entrusting of a sick person, the Church shows redemptive action taken by the Christ himself, who shall support the sick person with the power of God’s grace in suffering, impatience, fear, and above all in physical and spiritual weakness as well as in experienced doubts and weakening in faith.A family and persons ministering the sick (priests, hospital chaplains) should earlier take care of proper instructing about the nature of anointing of the sick and adequate preparation of the sick to receive this grace from the healing Christ. This may take place through conversation, catechesis, supporting with words of faith and common prayer, arousing a wish to receive the Christ in the mystery of anointing.This article consists of seven points: 1. The letter from James as the starting point of the discussion; 2. Several historical facts; 3. Catechism of the Catholic Church concerning the sacrament of the anointing of the sick; 4. Sacramental grace; 5. Who should and can receive the sacrament of the anointing; 6. People responsible for the better reception of the sacrament by the sick; 7. Conclusion.

A parish is a certain community of the Christian faithful constituted in a particular church, whose pastoral care is entrusted to a pastor (parochus) as its proper pastor (pastor) under the authority of the diocesan bishop. This article takes up the idea of entrusting the parish to an institute or society. The entrusting of a parish can be made either perpetually or for a specific, predetermined time. In either case, it is to be made by means of a written agreement between the diocesan bishop and the competent superior of the institute or society, which expressly and accurately defines, among other things, the work to be accomplished, the persons to be assigned to the parish, and the financial arrangements.

The Catholic Church’s teaching on the development of the nations is generally included in two documents: Populorum Progressio by Pope Paul VI and Sollicitudo rei socialis by John Paul II. This year marks the 25th anniversary of publishing the Encyclical Sollicitudo  rei  socialis,  hence  the  motive for writing this article. A characteristic feature of the teaching of John Paul II, which we fi nd in this Encyclical, is the ethical dimension of development. The Pope repeatedly drew attention to the inequitable distribution of material goods in the world. He stressed that “True development, in keeping with the speci fi c needs of the human being – man or woman, child, adult or old person implies, especially for those who actively share in this process and are responsible for it, a lively awareness of the value of the rights of all and of each person. It likewise implies a lively awareness of the need to respect the right of every individual to the full use of the benefits offered by science and technology” Sollicitudo rei socialis 33. This article consists of the four following issues: 1. Populorum Progressio and a new analysis on the development of the nations; 2. The main motive for the publication of Sollicitudo rei socialis; 3. The concept of development in the teaching of John Paul II; 4. Topicality of the papal document – 25 years later.
