This article examines how migration to Wales modifies Polish Catholic families’ religious practices. It focuses on how the First Communion ceremony is performed. Within the Polish migrant community I witnessed three distinct ways of arranging this. Some families travelled to Poland to their parish churches of origin. Of those who celebrated it in Wales, some did so in a Polish church, others in their children’s Catholic school’s church. These choices had different effects. Holding First Communion in Poland confirmed children’s Polish identity and home-country bonds. It exemplified both the fluidity of the families’ intra-European migration experience and the strength of transnational networking. Holding it in the local Polish parish reinforced both families’ and childrens’ identification as Polish Catholics. In the school’s church, it strengthened migrant families’ negotiations of belonging and their children’s integration into the Welsh locality. Mothers’ active involvement in all settings led some to contest Polish religious customs and revealed emerging identifications related to children’s wellbeing and belonging. Unlike arrangements traditional in Poland, families’ religious practices in Wales seem to have become more individual, less collective.

The paper presents Catholic education as an integral component of Church’s evangelization mission which must be pursued in a manner that presupposes Catholic identity. So the author discusses Catholic identity in the context of Tangaza University College as it transits to becoming a fully fledged Catholic university. Several key issues are featured which include the basic understanding of the terms Catholic and Catholicity and situating Catholic identity in ecclesiastical context. There is also a presentation of Tangaza University College in her history and identity. This article also investigates the application of civil legislations in the Republic of Kenya in establishing a university as well as the application of ecclesiastical laws in a Catholic university. The discussion also features the challenges involved in pursuing Catholic identity in a Catholic university

The article presents the genesis, evolution and current status of Catholic law schools in the USA against the background of social and cultural changes. Since the 1960s and 1970s most of the nominally Catholic law schools in the United States have practically been no different from their secular counterparts. In the Author’s opinion, the clear Catholic identity of those schools should be framed in the light of the provisions of Pope John Paul II’s Apostolic Constitution Ex Corde Ecclesiae. In the first place, this identity should manifest itself in the research and teaching of a wide range of legal topics. The curriculum and the scholarship of the faculty should take into account the rich Catholic philosophical and theological tradition. Catholic law schools, not only those in the United States, are called to the integrity of their religious identity with full professionalism, faith with reason, respect for Catholic doctrine and morality with strictly scientific and critical methodology aimed at seeking and communicating objective truth, transferring knowledge to students with their spiritual- and intellectual formation.

W artykule przedstawiono genezę, ewolucję i stan obecny katolickich szkół prawniczych w USA na tle zachodzących zmian społecznych i kulturowych. Od lat 60-70. minionego stulecia większość z nominalnie katolickich szkół prawniczych w Stanach Zjednoczonych praktycznie nie różni się od swoich świeckich odpowiedników. W ocenie Autora wyraźną katolicką tożsamość tych szkół należy kształtować, kierując się postanowieniami Konstytucji apostolskiej Jana Pawła II Ex Corde Ecclesiae. W pierwszej kolejności tożsamość ta powinna przejawiać się w działalności badawczo-dydaktycznej. Program nauczania studentów oraz twórczość naukowa wykładowców powinny uwzględniać bogatą katolicką tradycję filozoficzno-teologiczną. Katolickie szkoły prawnicze, nie tylko te w Stanach Zjednoczonych, są powołane do integralności religijnej tożsamości z pełnym profesjonalizmem, wiary z rozumem, respektowania katolickiej doktryny i moralności z działaniem ściśle naukowym i krytycznym ukierunkowanym na poszukiwanie i głoszenie obiektywnej prawdy, przekazywania wiedzy studentom z ich duchowo-intelektualną formacją.

Philosophical forces gathered in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Catholic Modernism have crystallized into theological views which permeate the antinomian atmosphere in the Church today, resulting in an ongoing Catholic identity problem, both within the Church and in relation to the world. In place of the perennial philosophy and its contemplative ideal, many now welcome the incoherence of broad philosophical and theological pluralism, while pastoral practice is infused with the fruits of pragmatism and the rhetoric of false dichotomies (justice/mercy, intellectual/pastoral, tradition/living faith, speculative truth/charity, for example). To reverse this anti-intellectual course, rehabilitation of Aquinas’s positions on the primacy of the speculative order and contemplative charism, his integration of natural, revealed and mystical wisdoms, and his sense of objective worship, is needed. A brief account of the robust role of philosophy in the Church’s mission and of Gilson’s nuanced position on the encounter of Thomism and Modernism supports this assertion.
