The author is a synthesis of Benedict XVI’s teaching of marital love and his care for its proper development. The Pope has stressed many times that love is the greatest gift from God. Unfortunately, today the world rejects the biblical image of love. Marital love is threatened by secularism promoting relativism, divorces, homosexual relationships, contraception, abortion, pornography and prostitution. Today’s liberal understanding of love is reduced to the sphere of eros and is deprived of its spiritual dimension. The Pope calls marital love the way of holiness that leads to a full and integral human and Christian development. It is the way of mutual care, the way of the sacraments and prayer and the way of work understood as a profession and involvement in domestic af airs .

The article compares the formation of the political dimensions of contemporary Sunni and Shiite Islam from the late 19th century to the present. The article makes the case that the revivalist Sunni movements while divided in their ideologies along a scale of traditionalist and reformist poles, have remained largely non-violent in their relationship to ruling authorities and theologically and ideologically adaptive to modern secular political structures. The Sunni adaptation to secular governments was not necessarily chosen, but resulted from the practical need to coexist with authoritarian regimes. In contrast the article cites sources that have led to a greater Shiite resistance to modern secular political authority. First, a perceived historical continuity between the failed armed Shiite revolutions of the past that became marginalized though remained latent. Later they rose to oppose governments in the regions where they lived. Second, the political ideologies of Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr and Ayatollah Khomeini that appropriated Shiite theology to mobilize marginalized religious minorities in organized opposition to secular states. Third, a description of the process by which the ruling religious leaders continue to co-opt Shiite theology and political ideology in order to secure religious authority and maintain power.

Although the Czech Republic is usually regarded as one of the most secular countries in Europe, current sociological surveys indicate that there is still a strong interest in supernatural and spiritual questions. This article begins by documenting the popularity of various religious concepts and then proceeds to analyse the socio-demographic factors that influence religious beliefs. The authoress tries to answer the question of whether and how people who believe in some kind of religious phenomenon differ in terms of sociodemographic characteristics from those who do not believe. There are two dimensions behind religious statements: a 'traditional' Christian outlook and an 'alternative' view connected with a belief in the power of magic. Further analyses indicated that traditional and alternative religious beliefs are connected with numerous socio-demographic characteristics, the most important of which is religious socialisation, measured by the frequency with which a person attended at religious services as a child and by the religious denomination of a person's mother.

The paper deals with a specific stream in the philosophical atheism of the 20th century and examines certain reflections of German, especially protestant, philosophers and theologians. Their secular concept of religious faith (Christianity without religion), especially Bultmann's concept of demythologisation, is compared to the Jewish interpretation of the Ten Commandments (the second and third commandments). The paper aims to discover some points of contact to enable a dialogue between these streams.
