Ludność katolicka i ewangelicka Kępna w XVIII wieku

100%
EN
Kępno lies on the border of Wielkopolska and Silesia. In the 18th century it was part of the Ostrzeszów district in the Sieradz province. The local parish comprised a town and two villages. At that time there were three ethnic groups living in the town: Poles; Protestants from Silesia, mainly Germans; and Jews. The basic occupations of the new inhabitants were crafts (they were mostly cobblers, weavers and linen makers) and trade. The analysis is based on birth, marriage and death registers of the Roman Catholic parish of Kępno, in which not only Catholics but also Protestants were listed. The monthly seasonality of weddings in the parish depended largely on the church calendar and work in the fields. Most marriage ceremonies in both religious groups took place in October, November and January. They were usually held on Sundays and, less frequently, on Tuesdays and Mondays. The ceremonies were witnessed almost invariably by men. Only in exceptional cases would a woman be one of the witnesses. There were also dozen or so marriage ceremonies with three witnesses; in several cases the note “and others” was added. Witnesses were usually people of higher standing or popularity in the local community. In both religious communities the biggest number of children were born in September and October, the smallest — in June. 2.8% of children were born out of wedlock — most of them were Catholic children. People asked to be godparents were mainly men and women who were popular in the local community. The distribution of the number of deaths among people living in Kępno and its vicinity was clearly related to the seasons. The number of deaths in the parish was particularly high towards the end of winter and in early spring as well as late summer, a phenomenon characteristic of all urban and rural communities from the 17th–19th centuries studied so far.

The first part of this article aims at locating the experiences of Polish migrants attending Philip course – a three-day event run by the charismatic group Cor et Lumen Christi - within wider context of charismatic movement. The second part is an attempt to describe the course and to analyse its form and content with a focus on the experiences of people participating in the course. The aim here is to capture the socially constructed meaning of that experience as embedded in the social and institutional context of migration and structural developments of the Catholic Church catering for religious needs of Polish migrants in the UK.

The article presents the analysis of lexical calling Catholics and non Catholics in the eighteenth-century sermons by priest Christopher Kluk – priest/ scientist, parson of the parish in Ciechanowiec, KEN coworker. The vocabulary of the homilies is divided into four linguistic fields: members of my religious community, Christian-non-Catholics, non-Christians, atheists. This studies has shown a clear domination of the Roman Catholic beliefs and tendencies of everyday understanding of the religion, where there is an equal sign between the Catholic and Christian. It was also found that the linguistic field Christian-non-Catholics in Kluk’s homilies is much smaller than the same linguistic fields in the seventeenth-century preachers homilies. It may shows that in the eighteenth century, the echoes of the Reformation has not proved such a great emotion, even among ordinary priests.

This study deals with the First Vatican Council in the context of regional history. It demonstrates how the council was perceived by Catholics and mainly by non-Catholics in České Budějovice. Strongly represented by the bishop Jan Valerián Jirsík, Catholics were the majority in this town. In 1867–1868, after announcement of total religious freedom and equality in civil life, a minority admitted a non-catholic confession. The most active group was so called German Lutherans, which actively joined the religious life in the town. They found a support in one of the three metropolitan newspapers, called Anzeiger aus dem südlichen Böhmen (Bulletin from the South Bohemia). During 1868 the orientation of these newspapers was anti-catholic and anti-pope resulting in seriously negative evaluation of the Council acting in 1869 and 1870.

The article discusses the relationship of young engaged Catholics in Slovakia to the various media outlets which they follow. It attempts to reveal which media outlets are considered to be inspiring and thought-provoking and how are they perceived and evaluated by their followers. The author draws from extensive research into the interpretation of Church news and current affairs within the community of young engaged Catholics; therefore, the findings related to media reception presented herein also include demographical and personality characteristics for individual audiences. The findings are also presented within the context of three specific Church-related news stories: the contentious removal of Róbert Bezák from his position as Archbishop of Trnava, the financial separation of the Church and state, and clerical celibacy. The underlying research was conducted using combined questionnaires, both quantitative and qualitative, on a sample of 339 suitable respondents. The research reveals that the most inspiring Slovak media outlet according to the young engaged Catholics is the secular weekly .týždeň, followed by the Catholic television channel Lux. The research has revealed a significant discrepancy between the opinions of the audiences of secular media and the audiences of official Church media: while the former are very critical of Church media, the latter seem to be more reluctant to turn to secular media.

Korešpondencia Jána Hollého /The Correspodence of Ján Hollý/, edited by Jozef Ambruš, who published it along with valuable and detailed notes in 1967, is the principal source to have when studying the personality of one of the most significant Slovak poets as well as refining the complex image of Slovak cultural and literary life in the first half of the 19th century. Besides other things, there can be found an important evidence of inter-confessional contacts and cooperation between literary active notables from both Catholic and Protestant environments. This proves that the still existing myth of the mutual „enmity“ between the two „camps“ based on confessional criteria needs to be dispelled.

This article focuses on the problem of social interaction occurring in the process of communication among believers of two Christian religions: Catholicism and Evangelical Church. Both confessions are represented by the highlanders of Silesian Beskid, Southern part of Cieszyn Silesia. Historical and socio-cultural circumstances of this community with two religions were shaping regional identity, cultural identification and traditional norms of coexistence for several centuries. These values were treated by the whole local community as more important than local disagreements. This way idea of cultural community was supported. It is visible in the attitudes and behaviors in which tolerance and acceptance finally overcame local animosities based on religious divisions.

What does the “nation“ mean to Catholics in Slovakia? How has its meaning changed over time? These and similar questions are time and again becoming relevant against the backdrop of the current resurgence of nationalist moods and politics. However, social researchers in Slovakia, historians of religion included, have yet to answer these questions satisfactorily. Meaning-making among Catholics in post-war Slovakia has been and remains an uncharted territory. The reasons are both ideological and methodological. Focusing on the methodological part of the issue, this paper proposes an approach to the study of religion which combines theoretical and methodological innovations brought about by the Cultural Turn and the ensuing post-confessional critique of modern and post-modern approaches in the study of religion.

The study analyses the structural elements of the story of the visit of Štúr and two of his followers to the poet Ján Hollý. The meeting of representatives of the Protestant and Catholic intelligentsia in 1843 was a key moment in the Slovak national historical narrative. It symbolizes national unity overcoming confessional limitations. The author studies this story as part of the nationalist repertoire, pointing to its use for the needs of national ideology.
