The paper discusses the legacy of the ecclesiastical community preserved in the ecclesial memory (tradition) intended for all times, and therefore also for the “challenges of today” inscribed in the particular “signs of the times”. Without a doubt, this includes the desire of western man for a content, happy, and fulfilled life in all aspects of human life. The main aim of the article is to provide the most plausible answer about the meaning of man’s existence and the paths to its fulfilment not only to the believer living in a certain cultural framework, but also to everyone who asks this question. Our answer cannot help but emerge from the Trinitarian mystery, which was, still is and will always be the foundation of proclamation and of all new pastoral paths, even for the twenty-first century Church, world and man. After all, if it is true that the essence of the triune God is both universal union and unification, it is the trinitarian relational Being that establishes the foundations for a new humanity. The mystery of the divine Trinity is thus implicit in both chapters of the lecture, in which we speak of a new Christian identity, of the phenomena of “the silent God”, and of the mission of practical theology as a theology of life, that is to say, a theology that makes man’s encounter with God possible.

The presented study aims to clarify the perception of the Cyril and Methodius tradition in Czech society in the 21st century. The authors of the study tried to identify how widely spread is the legacy of Sts. Cyril and Methodius, depending on gender, age or place of residence of the Czech Republic inhabitants. The survey was attended by 1,125 respondents from the Czech Republic, of which 57.55 % were women (N = 648) and 42.45 % were men (N = 478). The age distribution of the research sample was very variable. In the research sample, Christian denominations were represented in 47.87 % (N = 539), Jews in 1.07 % (N = 12) and others in 2.93 % (N = 33). Without religion were 48.13 % (N = 542) of interviewed participants. The results of our research point to the current state of perception of Sts. Cyril and Methodius’ legacy among Czechs, and the need to promote education about them, especially among young people. In conclusion, we can state that knowledge and information about the Cyril and Methodius tradition in the Czech society in the 21st century is sufficient. On the other hand, young people, in particular, regardless of their religious affiliation, do not have enough information about the legacy.

The origins of “open-air museums” date back to the nineteenth century and from the very beginning were closely linked to efforts to capture, preserve and present folk culture. However, during the course of the twentieth century, especially in its later part, the concept of open-air museums began to expand. Open-air museums were founded that focused on urban, industrial and military environments, ecological issues, or on charting the life of prehistoric and ancient cultures. Along with this, the methodological concept for this specific type of institution saw some development, and the interdisciplinary approaches expanded in response, covering a wide range of humanities as well as natural sciences. Besides the academic approach, a social and community overlap is also required from these institutions. This article poses the question of how the concept of open-air museums can continue to develop and what direction the role of presenting cultural heritage in an open landscape could take in the future. The arguments herein are based on the philosophical and spiritual dimension of man’s dwelling in the world and his relationship to the landscape in which he lives. We believe that the future of open-air museums should, wherever possible, focus on the preservation of monuments in their historical context and especially in their natural links in terms of landscape, urbanism and architecture. To ensure this concept remains sustainable, it is necessary that these monuments be involved in the life of villages and communities, ideally also on the basis of cooperation between academia and local entities, which are usually villages or municipalities and citizens’ initiatives. Examples of such a direction can be seen in the founding and running of Rochus Park in the Uherské Hradiště region and in the concept of the association of villages called Mariánská zahrada in the Jičín region, both in the Czech Republic.

The aim of the research study is to point out the significance of Cyril and Methodius in the geographical location of the Lithoměřice diocese in the 21st century. Through research, we tried to get an idea of the perception of terms such as the new evangelization, pastoral care, or the importance and priority categorization of Cyril and Methodius among the current residents of the region. The research group consisted of 563 respondents – 37% women (N = 208) and 63% men (N = 355). The age distribution of the research participants was varied and included in several age groups without age restrictions. Regarding the religious structure, 58% (N = 328) of the participants were unaffiliated, 38% (N = 213) claimed to be Christian and 1% (N = 5) Jewish, another religion was defined by 3% (N = 17) of the participants in research. We divided the participants into several groups according to the size of their place of residence. The results of our research point to insufficient knowledge about the significance of Cyril and Methodius and their pastoral and missionary activities.

Disclosure of disinformation has attracted increasing attention in recent years. The society recognises that false reports pose a real threat to the credibility of information and, ultimately, to the security of society. On the Internet an active audience is a distributor of media content because they are convinced of its truth, and in the online environment they find it in other people. Therefore, the audience seems to be an active amplifier of disinformation (sharing), and thus explicitly as a creator of (unwanted) web content (sharing and commenting). People’s willingness to share disinformation is linked to people’s similar attitudes; it is related to the similarity of faith and to the perception of the message, considered as appropriate and interesting (“I like it”), etc. The term “homogeneity” turns out to be a key term in audience research, and experts speak about a phenomenon that in fact appears to be the main driving force for the dissemination of any content. The aim of the research is to identify and classify the factors that motivate university students to share information on the social networking site Facebook.

Torat Moshe protects some of the weakest members of society - mothers and unborn children. It points out that death caused by the perpetrator is never an isolated issue. The death of one human being means the death of other potential human beings. The aim of the provision at hand, despite the wrongdoing committed by the perpetrator, was not (according to most rabbinic interpreters) to punish him (by killing or injuring), but only to compensate for the damage. The intention is to settle the imbalance in interpersonal relationships. Torat Moshe tries to prevent fights between men (brothers) by pointing out how terrible things can happen to them. The ambiguity of the Hebrew text Torat Moshe reinforces this goal, because although in practice the rabbis required only monetary compensation, the text is formulated so that the wrestler fears that his own life will be required for a failed life and his own body will be damaged for body damage. In addition, a court decision on an offender, however merciful, cannot affect the decision of heaven - the offender can still be punished by death (accidental immediate death, death before the age of fifty or sixty, etc.) regardless of the decision of the provincial court. Torat Moshe demands the same right for all: “You will have one right for both the guest and the natives. I am the LORD your God.”

The aim of the current study is to present, interpret and apply the results of quantitative research focused on the perception and reception of the prominent representative of the secret Church, bishop, witness and thinker Ján Chryzostom Korec (1924 – 2015) among the communities of foreign Slovaks. Considering the fact that in 1990-2005 Korec was the diocesan bishop of Nitra, i.e. in the place to which history ascribes the designation “Methodius’ Seat”, and at the same time taking into account the fact that all his pastoral efforts have a distinct Cyrillo-Methodian character, the results of the research on the knowledge and reception of his person can be considered relevant also for the field of research on the Cyrillo-Methodian tradition. In the first part, the study focuses on the personality of Bishop Ján Chryzostom Korec as “Methodius’ successor”. At the same time, on the basis of an analysis of his extensive literary output, we prove the thesis that the Cyrillo-Methodian tradition forms the main axis of Korec’s mission as both pastor and thinker. The second part presents the results of the quantitative survey (630 respondents: 59.5% women (N = 375) and 40.5% men (N = 255) conducted from November 2023 to January 2024. The study concludes with a summary of the research applied to practice, offering four concrete suggestions within the context of the Slovak Cardinal and his Cyrillo-Methodian legacy to make the Slovak Cardinal better known to contemporary Slovaks abroad and at home.
