Canonical visitation of the parish as a form of implementation of the episcopal office is the momentous duty of every diocesan bishop. In the light of tradition reveals itself as one of the oldest institutions through which the shepherd of the diocese maintains direct contact with both clergy and laity. Because of the great pastoral significance of the visit as early as the fourth century synods ordered that the bishops during, taught and the Sacraments, a turning point in reviving this form of episcopal ministry had the Council of Trent whitch visits treated as an act preparatory to the diocesan synod. The Second Vatican Council referring to the biblical tradition and described the office of bishop as a “pastoral” and episcopal ministry as a “spiritual governance”. Noting that the territory of the diocese and its population should be such that the bishop, though he had to help others, he could personally act as bishop, created in this way, the fundamental conditions to give a canonical parish visitation clearly pastoral character. The last part of the article shows the extent to which the pastoral dimension of the mission of the diocesan bishop determines the practice of the canonical visitation of the Archdiocese of Warmia.

The twentieth century brought many difficult trials to Europe. Lithuania was devastated by two world wars and long and difficult periods of occupation. The Catholic Church was persecuted by both the Nazis and the Soviets. The clergy suffered much. One of the first martyrs during the Soviet occupation was the Bishop of Telšiai, Vincentas Borisevičius. Although there are not many written sources and testimonies about him, we can get a good idea that he grew up in a moral and faithful environment and matured for the priesthood. Borisevičius was entrusted with the duties of the rector of the seminary, later became an assistant to the Bishop of Telšiai, and finally an Ordinary. Bishop Borisevičius demonstrated his heroic virtues during the Second World War by rescuing Jews, by remaining faithful to his flock, and by not cooperating with the occupying powerʼs security structures or betraying innocent people. This is what brought the moment of his arrest and suffering closest. Although murdered, the bishop remained an apostolic example for the Christians of the new times. Because of his virtues and martyrdom, the Church has opened the case for the beatification of Bishop Vincent Borisevičius.

The aim of the article is to verify the hypothesis that the institutions of diocesan synod in the perspective of the Roman Catholic Church and that of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in the Republic of Poland are very similar. The method to achieve the aim is the comparable analysis of the legal provisions of the fundamental laws of the Churches which refer to diocesan synod. The general conclusion is that the institutions of diocesan synod seen in the two perspectives are completely incompatible. They are different institutions.

The article focuses on the nineteen ordinaries, suffragan bishops, and ad-ministrators of the diocese of Sejny or Augustów who governed the diocese throughout its existence. In terms of social origin, nine or ten of them came from the nobility and five from peasants; one was probably an urban resident, one of the craftspeople, and two of uncertain social origin. Geographically, ten hierarchs came from other dioceses. Nine hierarchs were born in the diocese of Sejny or Augustów. In terms of ethnic origin, we see one Armenian, one Jew, and five or six clergymen of Lithuanian origin (there are doubts regarding Bonaventūra Butkevičius). Other clergymen were Poles. Theological education of most of the hierarchs of the diocese of Sejny or Augustów was limited to graduation from a seminary. This applies to ten of them. Others studied at higher education institutions for a longer or shorter time and five of them had doctoral degrees (including two with honorary doctorates). Of the nineteen hierarchs, four bishops and all seven administrators were members of the Sejny cathedral chapter. Five bishops had ecclesiastical careers in other dioceses before becoming ordinaries of the diocese of Sejny or Augustów, three of whom were suffragan bishops of other dioceses, and one was the administrator of the Archdiocese of Warsaw. One hierarch was appointed bishop while the diocese of Wigry still existed. Two of the bishops had not risen through the hierarchy, that is, they were not members of a cathedral chapter before becoming bishops of Sejny. Most of the hierarchs of the diocese of Sejny or Augustów were of the mature age of over 50 years.

The judge is the entity that applies the law. The judge adjudicates on court cases. The history of the Church shows, that from the beginning, we had to deal with the necessity to resolve various types of matters and disputes. Canon law has developed and evolved over the centuries. The procedural law developed gradually. The judge is part of this development. Initially, as indicated by the sources of law, the church judge was a bishop. With time, the power to judge passed into the hands of other priests appointed by the bishop. This is how the office of the judicial vicar (official) was created. At the Council of Trent, there is already talk of the so-called synodal and pro-synod judges.

Sędzia jest podmiotem, który stosuje prawo. To on rozstrzyga sprawy sądowe. Historia Kościoła pokazuje, że już od samego początku mieliśmy do czynienia z koniecznością rozwiązywania różnego rodzaju spraw i sporów. Prawo kanoniczne na przestrzeni wieków rozwijało się i ewoluowało. Prawo procesowe rozwijało się stopniowo. Osoba sędziego wpisuje się w ten rozwój. Początkowo, jak wskazują źródła prawa, sędzią kościelnym był biskup. Z czasem władza sądzenia przeszła w ręce innych księży, których wskazywał biskup. Tak powstaje urząd wikariusza sądowego (oficjała). Na Soborze Trydenckim mowa jest już o tzw. sędziach synodalnych i prosynodalnych.

This article includes a deepened presentation and a commentary on some elements of the procedure of the election of the Pope, which underline the unity of the believers’ community. It is a unity in the sense of a participation of the whole Church in the election process, and secondly in that a special strengthening of the Pope to fulfill the ministry of unity of the Christ’s Church is accomplished by his election. The elements in question are as follows: entrusting of the election of the Bishop of the Church of Rome to the Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, a majority of votes necessary for a valid election of the bishop of Rome, and a spiritual dimension of a conclave, as well as a calling directed to all the Faithful to participate in this special act.

This article is about the Trinitarian theology of St. Ambrose of Milan concluded in De fi de, the most important and most complex bishop’s work of dogmatic. It focuses in particular on the innovative and original aspects of the theological thought of the Father of the Church. The fi rst point is given status quaestionis of Ambrosian theology. In the past, used to be attributed to Ambrose opinion good “politics” church, but poor theologian. More recent studies show one-sidedness of this opinion. In the second section are therefore discussed the aspects of Trinitarian theology Doctor of the Church, which show the specifi city and originality of his theological refl ection. They include: a new understanding of the role of the Emperor in matters of religion; relationship between faith and ecclesial interpretation of Scripture, the new interpretation of the term homoousios used by the Council of Nice, a development theme of unity of the Trinity by reference to the unity of the nature and operation of divine Persons, and not only in based on the idea arché, deepening the understanding of the mystery of the Incarnation; Christ as the center of Ambrosian spirituality, and fi nally, the relationship between faith in the Holy Trinity and the unity of the Church. In light of these issues emerges own and original theological “personality” of Bishop of Milan, and in this way it becomes possible to more comprehensive assessment of and appreciation for his contribution to the refl ection of the Trinity.

This study is concerned with the political influence on late Merovingian episcopal hagiographic production and with the changes in the episcopal ideal. It focuses on how key elements such as the origins of the bishop, the manner of his induction into the episcopal office and the relationship between the bishop and the monarch, respectively the relationship between the performance of episcopal duties, political involvement and service at the court, are portrayed in hagiographic production. A method of comparative analysis of late Merovingian hagiographic production associated with Saint Arnulf of Metz, Audoin of Rouen, Eligius of Noyon, Aunemund of Lyon, Leudegar of Autun, and Praejectus of Clermont was applied.

The history of the communist political police activities in Pelplin in the years 1949-1951 is the main subject of the article. In addition to the most well-known repressive campaign in February 1950, when a raid was conducted on the Diocesan Curia in Pelplin and Bishop K. Kowalski was placed under house arrest, the paper discusses a number of other issues. The main structure of the communist repression in this period was characterized, including the Provincial Public Security Office in Gdańsk and the District Public Security Bureau in Tczew, which launched a local Public Security Institution in Pelplin in 1950. The fact that both clergy and lay people were kept under constant surveillance is also discussed. Public Security reports recorded very carefully every activity. The majority of the data was obtained from informants who were forced to co-operate mostly by blackmail. These were residents of Pelplin as well as inhabitants of the surrounding areas visiting the town on business or at their leisure. Among about two hundred Public Security informants throughout the district, at least a dozen were strongly associated with the surveillance of Pelplin. “Ubowcy” – Public Security officials – wanted to know about the city as much as possible. Anything was important for them – from the functioning of local shops to the situation in the immediate vicinity of the bishop of Chelmno. The article also highlights the largescale support for the Church and the condemnation of the Public Security Bureau and its actions. There was even a possibility of organising strikes in the sugar factory and in the school. The failure of communist propaganda activities in the city was a manifestation of the local moods. People’s reluctance to the communist ideology led to a variety of harassment and repressions. In addition to the massive surveillance the Public Security also applied intimidation, causing difficulties at work and sometimes imprisonment. This paper presents a group of several dozens of people who were the objects of the interest for Public Security authorities. Apart from all the clergymen there were people holding important positions, local officials including the mayor and the local village authorities. Among those kept under surveillance there were managers of state and private institutions as well as many ordinary citizens. In order to be an object of such measures it was enough to express a critical statements about the People’s Republic of Poland or the Soviet Union and, in the case of some elderly people, any form of a political or social activity in the past, before the war, during the occupation, and even after the war, such as a membership in the Polish Peasant Party or the Polish Socialist Party. The paper also discusses some issues related to the economy of the city, including the functioning of the large sugar factory, and the economic situation of the rural municipality of Pelplin undergoing the initial phase of collectivization in which the Public Safety Authority played a very important role.

The article is an attempt to answer the question: Where is the pastoral dimension of religious service of bishops dominated by their managerial tasks and how may this be changed? Four of these modifications have been highlighted. Firstly, it is necessary to get away from the practice of the bishop’s nomination, where is a place just for managers. I particularly have in mind the Roman Curia and Apostolic Nunciature. Secondly, we need to intensify a process of decentralization of competences in ecclesiastical structures – transferring a maximal number of rights from Rome to local churches. Thirdly, the pastoral function of bishops will be emphasized if there were not any auxiliary bishops but only one pastor in a diocese. Fourthly, it is necessary to improve the process of communication between bishops and lay people in the cases of canonical visitations and pastoral letters.

The judicial application of the law is based on the person of the judge. However, we describe the person of the judge through the lens of secular law. Meanwhile, canon law also refers to processes. The most common process in the practice of ecclesiastical courts is the process for the nullity of marriage. So who is an ecclesiastical judge? Who can hold this office? The article answers these questions by setting the time frame from 1917, i.e. from the publication of the first Code of Canon Law in the Church, to the present day legislation. The research carried out shows the dynamics of change in this area.

Sądowe stosowanie prawa opiera się na osobie sędziego. Osobę sędziego jednak charakteryzujemy zwykle przez pryzmat prawa świeckiego. Tymczasem prawo kanoniczne zawiera także normy dotyczące procesów. Kim zatem jest sędzia kościelny? Kto może sprawować ten urząd? Artykuł odpowiada na te pytania, wyznaczając ramy czasowe od 1917 r., tj. od opublikowania pierwszego w Kościele Kodeksu Prawa Kanonicznego, do współczesnego ustawodawstwa. Przeprowadzone badania pokazują dynamikę zmian w tym zakresie, od osoby sędziego, który mógł być jedynie prezbiter, po powrót do aktywnej postawy biskupa diecezjalnego, aż do sędziego w osobie wiernego świeckiego.

Do znaczących zmian wprowadzonych przez motu proprio Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus Franciszka, stanowiących zupełne novum w stosunku do obowiązującego do niedawna ustawodawstwa, jest ustanowienie processus matrimonialis brevior coram Episcopo. Jest to szczególny rodzaj postępowania o stwierdzenie nieważności małżeństwa, który może mieć zastosowanie w przypadkach, w których prośba została zgłoszona przez obojga małżonków lub przez jednego z nich za zgodą drugiego i jest poparta szczególnie oczywistymi argumentami. Poza szybkością i uproszczeniem procedury, proces ten wyraża szczególną troskę i czujność biskupa diecezjalnego w stosunku do swoich wiernych zatroskanych o swój status małżeński. Proces skrócony przed biskupem, jakkolwiek stanowi znaczące novum w stosunku do ustawodawstwa obowiązującego w 2015 r., to jednak ma swoje głębokie zakorzenienie w tradycji kanonicznej, sięgającej pierwszych stuleci chrześcijaństwa. Autor ukazuje najpierw starożytną instytucję episcopalis audientia, wprowadzoną po edykcie cesarza Konstantyna, podtrzymywaną przez ustawodawstwo imperialne, następnie omawia władzę sądowniczą biskupa w okresie średniowiecza (wykazując, że ewolucja systemu wymiaru sprawiedliwości, w wyniku której powstał urząd oficjała, nie wykluczała w żaden sposób osobistego wykonywania jurysdykcji przez biskupa), wreszcie przedstawia biskupa jako sędziego w okresie od Soboru Trydenckiego do KPK/83. Nadzwyczajny charakter procesu skróconego przed biskupem oznacza z jednej strony daleko idące uproszczenie procedury, z drugiej zaś wskazuje na centralną rolę biskupa w posłudze sądowniczej, którą wykonuje jako najwyższy sędzia w swoim Kościele partykularnym. Proces małżeński skrócony przed biskupem jest więc bardziej powrotem do starożytności niż absolutnym novum. Znacząca jest m.in. analogia zachodząca między starożytną instytucją episcopalis audientia i processus brevior. Franciszek nie chciał jedynie przybliżenia do procedur już istniejących innego sposobu wykonywania potestas iudicandi (w przypadku oczywistej nieważności małżeństwa), lecz przede wszystkim miał na uwadze przywrócenie bardziej autentycznego i głębszego znaczenia misji biskupa diecezjalnego.

The establishment of the processus matrimonialis brevior coram Episcopo is a significant change introduced by Pope Francis’ motu proprio Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus, which is a complete novelty in relation to the legislation in force until recently. This is a special type of marriage annulment proceedings that may apply in cases where the request was made by both spouses or by one of them with the consent of the other and is supported by particularly obvious arguments. In addition to the speed and simplification of the procedure, this process demonstrates the special care and vigilance of the diocesan bishop in relation to his faithful who are concerned about their marital status. An abbreviated process held before a bishop, while constituting a significant novelty in relation to the legislation in force in 2015, is deeply rooted in the canonical tradition, dating back to the first centuries of Christianity. The author first presents the ancient institution of episcopalis audientia, introduced by Emperor Constantine’s edict, sustained by imperial legislation; then the judicial authority of the medieval bishop is discussed (showing that the evolution of the justice system, under which officials emerged, did not exclude in any way the personal exercise of jurisdiction by a bishop), and finally the bishop is presented as a judge in the period from the Council of Trent to CIC/83. The extraordinary nature of the abbreviated trial before a bishop implies, on the one hand, a far-reaching simplification of the procedure, and on the other hand, indicates the central role of the bishop in judicial ministry which he performs as the supreme judge in his particular Church. The abbreviated marital process before a bishop is more like a return to antiquity than an absolute novelty. There is a significant analogy between the ancient institutions of episcopalis audientia and processus brevior. Pope Francis did not merely want to harmonize other methods of exercising potestas iudicandi (in the case of obvious invalidity of marriage) with the already existing procedures, but first of all to restore a more authentic and profound meaning of the mission of the diocesan bishop.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The paper aims to determine in what manner official papal titles are an expression of supreme power in the Church. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The principal problem refers to the ecclesiological correlation between papal titles and primatial power, as well as the ongoing changes in the understanding of power within the Church, manifested by the departure from iurisdictio in favour of communio. Methods involve source text analysis (of the Holy Scripture and ecclesiastical documents), interpretation, and comparison. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: All names of the highest office in the Catholic Church are derived from the so-called primatial texts which de­scribe St Peter the Apostle and his mission. Together with the practice of the first centuries of Christianity, they have provided a basis for establishing the dogmatic truth about the primacy of St Peter and his successors. The primacy involves supreme jurisdictional power in the Universal Church. In this context, the author proceeds to analyse current papal titles which expose the scope and the multi­faceted nature of the power exercised by the Bishop of Rome. Furthermore, the author presents modifications in the official papal titles, which are simultane­ously a reflection of ecclesiastical changes in the area. RESEARCH RESULTS: It has been established that some titles are an expres­sion of real jurisdictional power (e.g. Bishop of Rome, Sovereign of the Vatican City State), while others carry historical and honorary importance (e.g. Primate of Italy) or manifest contemporary tendencies to highlight the religious character of the office (Servant of the Servants of God). CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: A departure from the secular understanding of power in favour of a religious and ministerial direction encourages further, praxeological research, as the pri­matial practice of individual pontificates (gestures and symbols) precedes the official primatial doctrine.
