Religion in the concept of a successful life: the Pentecostal Movement in Latin America

The Pentecostal movement that has been growing rapidly over the last few decades, claims to offer an experience of a radical life-transformation, spiritual safety and even economic prosperity. It is strongly proselytizing, exhibits charismatic leadership and proclaims a dualistic vision of the world. The major response comes mostly from the poor and marginalized social strata, due to the emphasis on human dignity, certain emancipation of women, freedom from addictions, but also requirements of taking responsibility for one's family. The "born again" members derive mostly from the Catholic Church, whose pastoral practices fail to compete against the market-oriented ones. The attraction and the swiftness of its expansion are the subject of many studies and prognosis regarding the influence of Pentecostalism on the socio-economic changes. Understood as a religious movement proper to the late stage of capitalism, Pentecostalism helps to cease the Latino fatalism, yet stirs some controversies regarding its realism and durability of its proposals.

The text analyzes the possible current meaning of monastic tradition in modern culture, exemplified by the order of Camaldolese. The absolute periphery of a cenobite lifestyle is examined in the dynamics of sequel cultures, once described by Pitirim Sorokin. The presently dominant sensate culture consists in materialistic worldview. The material is regarded as the ultimate reality, accessible only through sensory experience (hence the concept of empirically based science). The art is attracted to what is common, erotic or pathological. It questions everything heroic, holy, as well as any sort of spiritual perfection or sacrifice. The ideational culture upholds the contrary position, focusing on spiritual and moral values of human existence. The preferred access to the truth comes through meditation, spiritual insight, ecstasy or mystical revelation. The art is directed towards religion, patriotism, morality, elevating what was mundane, mediocre, vulgar or negative. These two opposite cultures succeed one other in cycles lasting a few centuries. From that perspective, a life sacrificed to contemplation is both a remnant of the previous stage of the culture, as well as forerunner of the impending future. Although viewed as anachronistic, the monastic life points towards the deepest meaning of human existence, and therefore could be seen as the possible renewal in the late stage of decadence characteristic of the sensate culture.

On the Intentionality of the Latin America Elites

The process of forming elites in Latin America was different than in Europe. Although they have many common elements, which the concept of the elite assumes, they are often called compradors, which is a pejorative indication of, among others their separation from their own societies. There is no doubt that the elites are fundamentally responsible for the difficult and sometimes dramatic situation of Latin American countries, both because of poverty and violence. The language of the analysis of social sciences often describes it in deterministic terms, while the narrative should be changed to refer to humanistic values, as is the case in Catholic social teaching.

Wpływ współczesnej kultury na podjęcie przez ludzi świeckich właściwej im roli w Kościele

Artykuł koncentruje się na tle dyskusji o roli świeckich w Kościele, podejmując idee współczesnych prądów kulturowych, które wywierają znaczący wpływ na myślenie o Kościele i potencjalnych zmianach w jego strukturze i organizacji. Podczas gdy rola świeckich jest szeroko dyskutowana i postulowane jest większe przejęcie przez nich odpowiedzialności, istotne wydaje się, by zmiana ta nie dokonywała się według inspiracji i scenariusza obcych Kościołowi koncepcji, które w pewnych formach mogą korumpować przekaz wiary. Kościół na skutek redefinicji niektórych pojęć, dzielenia zachodniego poczucia winy, ale również słabości przywództwa w niebezpieczny sposób przejmuje narracje, które są mu ideowo obce, a czasem szkodliwe. Uwzględnienie tego problemu staje się istotne dla określenia dzisiejszego zaangażowania i odpowiedzialności ludzi świeckich w Kościele.

The article focuses on the background of the discussion of the role of the laity in the Church, addressing the ideas of contemporary cultural currents that are having a significant impact on thinking about the Church and potential changes in its structure and organization. While the role of the laity has been widely discussed and a greater assumption of responsibility by the laity has been advocated, it is important that this change not take place according to the inspiration and script of ideas alien to the Church, which in certain forms can corrupt the transmission of the faith. The Church, as a result of the redefinition of certain concepts, participating in Western guilt, but also weaknesses in leadership, dangerously adopts narratives that are ideologically alien and sometimes harmful to the Church. Addressing this problem is important for defining today's involvement and responsibility of lay people in the Church.
