Our contribution aims to present mysterious figures from the period of antiquity of Saints Pudentiane and Praxedis, the daughters of Senator Pudens, whose ancient legends identify them among the first people to be converted in Rome by the Apostle Paul. Pudens owned a villa, the remains of which are nine meters below the present basilica (for centuries it was believed to be the oldest Christian church in Rome), in which he hid persecuted Christians, according to some sources, even the Apostle Peter. When Pudens died a martyr, they built Praxedis and Pudentiane with the consent of Pope Pius I in 142/145 AD in the father's house a baptistery for the baptism of new Christians. However, during the persecution of Emperor Antonio Pius, Praxedis and Pudentiane were also tortured. After the death of Pudentiane, Praxedis used the heritage of her family to build the church "sub titulo Praxedis". She hid many persecuted Christians, and when they were exposed and tortured, she gathered their bodies and buried them in the cemetery of St. Priscilla on Via Salaria, where she was later buried in the grave with her sister and father. Legends say so much, our scientific interest was aroused by the proximity of the Basilica of Santa Pudentiane and the Roman synagogue Oratorio Castro as a symbol of the 2000 years of the mysterious coexistence of religions they serve for the peaceful development of human civilization in the sense of Pope Francis' encyclicals.

Cieľom nášho príspevku je predstaviť tajomné postavy z obdobia antiky, sväté Pudencianu a Prassedu, dcéry senátora Pudensa, ktorého staroveké legendy identifikujú medzi prvými ľuďmi, ktorých v Ríme obrátil apoštol Pavol. Pudens vlastnil vilu, ktorej pozostatky sú deväť metrov pod súčasnou bazilikou (po celé storočia sa verilo, že ide o najstarší kresťanský kostol v Ríme), v ktorej ukrýval prenasledovaných kresťanov, podľa niektorých zdrojov dokonca aj apoštola Petra. Keď Pudens zomrel ako mučeník, vybudovali Prasseda a Pudenciana so súhlasom pápeža Pia I. v rokoch 142/145 n. l. v otcovom dome baptistérium pre krst nových kresťanov. Počas prenasledovania cisára Antonia Pia však boli umučené aj Prasseda a Pudenciana. Po smrti Pudenciany Prasseda použila dedičstvo svojej rodiny na postavenie kostola „sub titulo Praxedis“. Skrývala mnoho prenasledovaných kresťanov, a keď títo boli odhalení a umučení, zhromaždila ich telá a pochovala ich na cintoríne sv. Priscily na Via Salaria, kde bola aj ona sama neskôr pochovaná v hrobe spolu so sestrou a otcom. Toľko hovoria legendy, náš vedecký záujem vzbudila blízkosť baziliky Santa Pudentiana a rímskej synagógy Oratorio Castro ako symbolu koexistencie náboženstiev pre mierový rozvoj ľudskej civilizácie v zmysle encyklík pápeža Františka.

In 2023, people on the European continent find themselves recovering after several social upheavals caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as several military conflicts, especially the war in Ukraine. At the same time, however, there is a significant wave of migration to the so-called safe (socially secure) countries of Western Europe. Despite the significant problems that this migration causes for a politically polarized Europe, Western European, but also other countries are experiencing an astoundingly strong demand for labor (e.g. Germany openly talks about the economic need for up to 400,000 jobs per year). This year marks the 55th anniversary of the publication of the long-awaited encyclical of Pope Paul VI, Humanae Vitae, which rejected all methods of artificial contraception. In this contribution, the author attempts to look at the problems of the culture of life in European space through the lens of several ethical and philosophical thoughts. This contribution, therefore, seeks to reflect both upon the rejection of Humanae vitae by modern Western society, as well as consider the propositions of future steps that will help stabilize European society, including the concepts of economics, family, and values according to the said encyclical.
