Sześć prawd wiary, którymi posługujemy się w naszej tradycji katechetycznej, zasługuje na pogłębioną analizę zarówno jeśli chodzi o ich genezę, jak i o ich treść. Artykuł w pierwszej części stanowi uzupełnienie artykułu Zbigniewa Kubackiego TJ odnośnie do ich genezy („Studia Bobolanum” 30 [2019] 4, s. 5–33), natomiast w drugiej części wskazuje na odnowioną potrzebę ich rozumienia, biorąc pod uwagę postulaty współczesnej teologii. Okazuje się, że w takiej perspektywie sześć prawd wiary zachowuje wartość jako krótka formuła wiary, choć można by dokonać w nich pewnych uzupełnień.

The six truths of faith, to which we refer in our catechetical tradition, deserves deeper analysis when it comes to both its origins and content. This article in its first part constitutes a supplementation of the article of Zbigniew Kubacki SJ dealing with the origins of the six truths of faith (“Studia Bobolanum” 30[2019] no. 4, 5–33),whereas second part points out the renewed need for the understanding of the truths taking into consideration the requirements of contemporary theology. It turns out that in such a perspective the six truths of faith preservesits value as a short formula of faith although certain supplementation could yet be made.

The mystery of the Holy Trinity constitutes a transcendental and original principle of the history of salvation and the first subject of Christian faith. Christian faith and Christian life are both shaped in relation to this mystery. Therefore we can speak about the primacy of the Holy Trinity in the faith, which finds its expression in the gradual development and in the overall shape of Christian doctrine. It is worth noticing, that the Holy Trinity is also a subject of mystical experience. Starting with the New Testament, especially St. Paul, we can observe in the Church a progressive development of the conviction that the most elevated relation with God, that is mystical relation, has to be Trinitarian in character. It has been shown by the criteria of the Christian mysticism elaborated in theology. A special manifestation of the mystical experience is “ecstasy”. It is rooted in the symbol of faith which synthetically reveals the subject of faith, that is the Holy Trinity together with the specific character of Its redemptive action. God’s lowering towards man constitutes the foundation of the based on faith, man’s rising towards God. In the proper meaning this issue finds its justification in the experience and theology of Paul the Apostle.

The following article presents the teaching of Cyril of Jerusalem (†387) about the Holy Spirit as part of his interpretation of the so-called symbol of faith used in Jerusalem. Being the author of 18 catecheses delivered to the catechumens, and 5 others addressed to neophytes, he devoted two of them to teachings about the Holy Spirit. These are Catechesis XVI and Catechesis XVII included in the catechetical series for catechumens. Textual analysis of these catecheses led to the selection of several aspects of this teaching, elements linked by Cyril to biblical documentation of the issues conveyed. Noteworthy are fragments related to the names of the Holy Spirit, the essence of Trinitarian relationships, and the nature of His salvific tasks. Individual issues, as shown by the analysis, elucidate Cyril as a conscientious theologian and catechist of the second half of the fourth century. He was thus working before the Council of Constantinople, on which the study of the Holy Spirit as written down in the Credo had just been resolved.

Tekst przedłożonego artykułu przedstawia nauczanie Cyryla Jerozolimskiego († 387) na temat Ducha Świętego w ramach jego interpretacji tzw. symbolu wiary stosowanego w Jerozolimie. Będąc autorem 18 katechez wygłoszonych do katechumenów i 5 skierowanych do neofitów, dwie z nich poświęcił przekazaniu nauki o Duchu Świętym. Są nimi Katecheza XVI i Katecheza XVII umieszczone w cyklu nauk katechetycznych przeznaczonych dla katechumenów. Analiza tekstowa tych katechez doprowadziła do wyselekcjonowania kilku aspektów tego nauczania, mającego charakter biblijnego udokumentowania przekazywanych wątków. Na uwagę zasługują kwestie związane z nazwami Ducha Świętego, z istotą trynitarnych relacji oraz Jego naturą i zbawczymi zadaniami. Poszczególne zagadnienia, jak wykazała analiza, ukazują Cyryla jako wytrawnego teologa i katechetę drugiej połowy IV wieku, a więc przez Soborem Konstantynopolitańskim, na którym dopiero została rozstrzygnięta nauka o Duchu Świętym w spisanym tam Credo.

Tajemnica Trójcy Świętej stanowi transcendentną i pierwotną zasadę dziejów zbawienia oraz pierwszy przedmiot wiary chrześcijańskiej. W relacji do tej tajemnicy kształtuje się wiara i życie chrześcijańskie. Można więc mówić o prymacie Trójcy Świętej w wierze, na co wskazuje kształtowanie się doktryny chrześcijańskiej oraz nadawany jej stopniowo kształt. Warto więc zwrócić uwagę na to, że Trójca Święta jest także przedmiotem doświadczenia mistycznego. Począwszy od Nowego Testamentu, zwłaszcza od św. Pawła, stopniowo dojrzewa w Kościele przekonanie, że najwznioślejsza relacja z Bogiem, którą jest relacja mistyczna, musi mieć charakter trynitarny. Wskazują na to wypracowane w teologii kryteria mistyki chrześcijańskiej. Szczególnym wyrazem doświadczenia mistycznego jest  ekstaza”. Zakorzenia się ona w symbolu wiary, który syntetycznie ukazuje przedmiot wiary, czyli Trójcę Świętą wraz ze specyfiką jej działania zbawczego. Zniżenie się Boga do człowieka stanowi podstawę opartego na wierze wznoszenia się człowieka do Boga. We właściwym znaczeniu to zagadnienie znajduje uzasadnienie w doświadczeniu i w teologii Pawła Apostoła.

The Council convened by emperor Constantine the Great to Nicea in the year 325 still arouses keen interest of researchers around the world. Against the back­ground of international scholarship, the achievements of Polish academics look quite modest. That is why one should especially appreciate the publication of a book (written in Polish) on the subject by Henryk Pietras, an acclaimed Polish patrologist. The monograph is noteworthy for a number of reasons and compels the reader to a thorough reflection on a cornucopia of facts that have been already discussed by numerous academics and subject to manifold interpretations. Its spe­cial merit lies first and foremost in an erudite analysis of sources conducted by the Author, which is competent enough to exhort all the interested to (at least) re-think their views. It is necessary to admit that the Academic is right, when he argues that the Council (firstly convened to Ancyra, and subsequently to Nicea) was not organized for the reason of discussing the Arian controversy. In reality, it seems that the primary reason for the meeting was the Donatist schism, which the Patrologist underestimated, and additionally the problem of reaching an agree­ment on a date of the Passover celebration. Certainly, the Council was not of an anti-Arian nature, but Arius was condemned by the ecclesiastic meeting as the one who rejected a laboriously reached compromise as for the form of the credo and renounced the term homoousios.

The article presents the circumstances of the Council of Nicaea. There was a tradition to compose symbols of the faith (symbola fidei), and to organize syn­ods. The Council of Nicaea was convoked by Emperor Constantine in cooperation with Pope Silvestre. After the victory on Licinius, Constantine wanted to arrange public and religious matters of the Empire. He was not a Christian but he was friendly to Christianity as a religion which he considered to be profitable for the Empire. He possessed the title of Pontifex maximus which authorized him to in­tervene not only in pagan cults, but also in ecclesiastical affaires. In spite of that, there were three main conflicts in that time: the date of the Passover, Donatism and Arianism. Donatism was a schism born in Latin Africa having a national background; it was a movement of the local population against the Roman admin­istration. Arianism, born in Greek Africa, was inspired by philosophy, especially by Neo-Platonism. Constantine was welcomed by the Pope and other bishops be­cause his actions were useful for the Church. People were waiting for the Council of Nicaea with hope.
