It would appear that the whole Catholic educational project faces an important decision regarding its future development. Decades of support for the vulgarised Rahnerian anthropological vision is now serving as a conduit for the Re-contextualisation perspectives of Boeve and his collaborators, and a parallel effort to re-define the meaning of a successful Catholic educational enterprise. Despite the clear findings of contemporary educational research of eminent and respected theorists such as Hattie, Sweller, Kirschner, Clarke and Lillard (all of whom support a narrowing of the field of study of novice learners), determined efforts are still being made in the field of catechesis to emphasise the symbolic over concrete real; a disparagement of content in favour of process. This continues to find its most damaging application in the denigration of a permanently valid and divinely revealed Deposit of Faith (admittedly, one which continues to be subject to ever deepening understanding). Contemporary students are encouraged to exchange this patrimony for a brave new world of moral and intellectual autonomy, whereby they are encouraged to opt for their own inexpertly constructed, personally validated version of reality, made in their own image and according to their own taste. It can be argued, of course, that such a worldview is neither brave nor new. Students are merely being asked to situate themselves outside the hermeneutic circle of the Catholic faith, and told that they should make up their own minds regarding what they will accept – all based on their own independent inquiries. Catholic schools now face the choice of grounding themselves in an effective epistemology, supported now both by the traditions of the Church and the findings of modern educational research, which is capable of mediating the Christian message with clarity. Further work needs to be done to articulate the practical implications of such a desirable prospect. Alternatively, Catholic schools may choose to adopt a Recontexualising trajectory and widen the gulf between themselves and their traditional roots still further.

The article has been written to commemorate the first decade of 'Rocznik Teologii Katolickiej' ('Journal of Catholic Theology'). The idea to start it emerged during the i rst months after the opening of the Chair of Catholic Theology in the University of Bialystok. It was then decided to base it on the existing scientific journal. The first volume, called 'Biuletyn Teologii Katolickiej' ('Bulletin of Catholic Theology') was a part of the 18th volume of 'Studia Teologiczne - Bialystok, Drohiczyn, Lomza' ('Studies in Theology - Bialystok, Drohiczyn, Lomza') in 2000. The next volume appeared separately, but still under the aegis of the 'Studies'. The 'Journal' became an independent magazine in 2002. Its aim is to present the Chair's publications, popularize theological science in Bialystok academic circles, cooperate with researchers in philosophy, arts and humanities and natural sciences and sharing experience with scientific centres home and abroad.

Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850–1917) was a Catholic nun of Italian origin, one of the first women missionaries who decided to leave for the United States in order to offer assistance to Italian Americans at the peak of their mass scale migration (1889–1917). Following an unprecedented success of her Missionary Institute of the Sacred Heart, she obtained American citizenship and was proclaimed the first U.S. Catholic saint in history, a global patron of immigrants. Until quite recently her work had been studied almost exclusively within a purely ecclesiastical context. However, nowadays her crucial intercultural experience is being revised by U.S. gender scholars who perceive her as a strong and independent woman of her time, founding and running a charity enterprise on three continents, little short of a Catholic feminist avant la lettre, but also an education innovator, pioneer of bilingual schooling as well as of an inclusive model of integrating immigrants into a modern society.

The article provides an insight into the writings of Slovak Catholic literati published between the end of World War II and the establishment of the communist totalitarian rule in Czechoslovakia in 1948. The writing of Catholic literary critics concentrated in two religious-cultural periodicals Nová práca and Verbum. For both magazines, the article draws on their respective historical-contextual backgrounds and points to differences in their visions of the cultural work. Subsequently, it characterises the way the periodicals profiled their literary criticism in reviews, glosses, commentaries and articles dealing with more general cultural topics and provides profiles of the three most significant literary critics – Aloš Stankovský (1925 – 2002), Vojtech Mihálik (1926 – 2001) and Jozef Kútnik Šmálov (1912 – 1982). The article is a contribution towards a better knowledge of the Catholic literary criticism that formed alongside the poetry of Slovak Catholic Modernists. The work of Catholic literary criticism has not been studied as much as the poetry of Catholic Modernists and this article aims at rectifying this deficiency somewhat.
