This study explores whether the Czech Catholic Church has conceptualized issues relevant and potentially interesting for the majority society and also whether it has been coming up with successful strategies to set the agenda in the public space. It also discusses the role played by lay people in this process. The goal of the study is to verify whether the position of lay Czech Catholics has changed over the 50 years since the publication of the Lumen Gentium constitution and what role they are supposed to play in the Church’s “battle” with the majority society in the process of setting and pushing through the Church’s agenda.

Throughout the ages the Church has taken care of marriage peculiarly. Its concern has taken many forms where the legal one was the most evident. Therefore there is a system of conjugal law which is subordinated to the aim of the Church. It concludes in a principle that there can not be any valid conjugal contract which is not a sacrament in the same time. The article presents the conditions which have to be met to celebrate marriage validly.

The purpose of the article is to analyse the definitions of the role that Catholic Church plays in the public sphere, as well as to propose the typology of forms of its impact on the political system. The term ‘Church’ is understood here as the ‘hierarchical Church’ rather than the community of believers. In the political science the Church is defined as a religious organisation, an institutionalised religious community, a group of interests, a political player or a political subject. The Church exerts influence on the political system by means of classical lobbying and moral sanctions. The power of this institution depends on: the religious structure of the society, the model of relations among religious denominations, the presence political parties that support the Church and, last but not least, the tradition.

The article deals with the relationship and interaction of Roman and canon law. The first part (Introduction to Roman Law) describes the developmental stages of Roman law and its "second life" (the process of its reception). The second part (Roman Law and the Law of the Catholic Church) deals with the relationship of Canon Law to Roman Law according to the individual stages of development of Canon Law: in the period of the so­-called "old law" (jus antiquum), where the principle of Ecclesia vivit lege Roman is shaped; in the period of the so­-called "new middle age law" (jus novum medii aevi), when Roman law became an official supporting source of canon law, and in the period of the so­-called "latest law" (jus novissimum), when the Code of Canon Law of 1917 no longer recognises Roman law as a subsidiary source of canon law. Roman law thus definitely becomes a historical right in the Church.

The paper contains a case study of the political debate concerning public funding for the religious institutions. It deals with the parliamentary discussions in the years 2004‑2015 on the abolishing of two public bodies: Church Property Commission (Komisja Majątkowa) and Church Fund (Fundusz Kościelny). The paper has two main objectives. First of them is providing the description of the debate (most important themes in the discourse, argumentative strategies, rhetorical instruments used by the interlocutors). The characteristics of the discourse let us draw a picture of the social relations and the place of religion in the public sphere. Therefore, the second objective of the paper is to describe the dominant narratives in the public debate on the role of religion in society and the state.

As a legal instrument the concordat is closely related to the European culture and tradition. It has its origins in the idea of dualism of politics and religion which accompanied the onset of Christianity in the Roman Empire. As an institution it came into existence in the Middle Ages and evolved considerably over the centuries. The international codification of human rights as well as the doctrinal output of the Vatican Council II exerted considerable influence on the present shape of the concordat. Today it serves as a tool for regulating the relations between the state and the Roman Catholic Church which is represented by the Holy See. The concordat aims to define more precisely the guarantee of religious freedom in both the individual and the community dimension in the way adapted to the needs of a particular country.

For the last few years, a slow process of a specific “cooling down” of religious and Church commitment has been taking place in Poland. In this article we assume that religiosity with institutional protection still plays an important role in the Church landscape of Polish society and the sphere of public life. In Poland, a positive attitude vis‑à‑vis the Catholic Church is an important determinant of one’s religiosity. Individuals who do not have confidence in the Church, and who evaluate it negatively as an institution, tend to participate less in religious practices, and their faith seems to be weakening. Religiosity and commitment to the Catholic Church in Poland are very closely related to each other. There are no major discrepancies in the opinion as to the extent of the secularization of society among Polish sociologists, but there are differences in the assessment and understanding in terms of the social role of the Church. Discussions on the position and role of the Catholic Church in society still go on, and we are far from a conclusive diagnosis, especially regarding our understanding and acceptance of a “model Church” that should function in a democratic and pluralistic society. The final answers remain in the realm of hypotheses and assumptions. The majority of Poles are convinced about the Church’s influence in various spheres of public life, including the political sphere. This view is predominant among almost two thirds of adult Poles, but also among the youth (even to a somewhat greater extent). This means that the Church is perceived by part of Polish society as a quasi‑political institution, or at least one that attempts to fulfill political functions. This view, which is quite popular among Poles, has been maintained at a relatively stable level since 1989. Among those who believe that the Church takes up too much space in the public life of Poland are found those people in whom every reference to public matters results in a rejection reaction, as well as among those who take on a moderate attitude, who consider that it would be better if the Church were less involved in matters of public life, particularly political. Most Poles accepts the principle of separation of Church and state, even though close to half of those surveyed have nothing against authorities who follow the Catholic social teaching. The views of many Poles on the place and role of the Church in the public life of the nation are to a certain extent ambivalent, and even inconsistent and incoherent. A major subject of public controversy is the presence of religious symbols in public life space, although most of Polish society speaks about such symbols with approval.

The subject of this study is the legal order´s analysis of papal elections in the Middle Age. The author concentrates on three fundamental provisions – the In nomine Domini decree of 1059 and the constitutions Licet de vitanda of 1179 and Ubi periculum of 1274. The presented analysis of the electoral legislation includes as the legal aspects, so historical context and implications for the further development of papal elections. The considerable attention is paid to the complicated relationship between papacy and College of Cardinals, whose role in the electoral process grew steadily.

The Roman Catholic Church was main enemy of communist government in Polish People Republic. Wise leadership of cardinal Stefan Wyszyński prevented this institution from destruction or lost independence. All of his activity had one main purpose – give protection from the plans of communist dignities. So I try to show that cardinal Wyszyński was probably the most realistic person in the history of the Polish People Republic. His attitude was main reason that polish Catholic Church didn’t lost their independence from communist system.

The road to statutory regulation of legal personality of the Catholic Church in Poland "of the people" was extremely tortuous and had its turbulent history. In my analysis, I present how it came to pass the so-called "May's laws" and type this process in the whole relation between state – church, in the decade of eighties of the twentieth century. As I prove in my analysis, the way of conducting the work on the statutory regulation of the legal personality of the Catholic Church depended directly on the condition of the mutual relations and especially of the current, in a given period of time, concept of the religious policy of authorities, which in the last decade of the existance of the PRL had variable and dual character.

The article deals with changes in the perception of history and historicity in the Catholic Church of the 19th and 20th centuries. In the first part the author provides an analysis of the reasons why the Catholic Church of this period showed such an ambivalent attitude towards concepts such as development, adaptation, evolution, revolution or historicity itself. It demonstrates how historicity was perceived by the elite of the Catholic Church as a thread and the consequences of such an attitude. In the second part the article presents a/the key contribution of the Second Vatican Council in this aspect and focuses on the acceptance of the genuine historicity of human and social existence. In the third and last part it also highlights the necessity for a deeper perception of the authentic historicity of the Church, its institutions, rules, attitudes and mentalities itself as a necessary condition for the renewal of the Christianity in the present.

Suppression of new ideas that seriously modified the officially accepted explanations was enforced within the religious system, but mere models like the copernian system were tolerated as a way of representing appearances so long as the interpretations were not present as the absolute truth in conflict with official church position. brahe recorded the motions of a comet that moved in the space between the crystalline spheres, but this result was absorbed by the scholastic foundations. meanwhile, on this paper, i explain the positions and foundations of mechanics by the centuries.

Contemporary theologians apply the historic notion of loci theologici also to media and film. Films that show the Church in a critical way are also theologically significant. Therefore, one should be aware of the appearance of documentaries and feature films, which raise the issue of sexual abuse against the youngest (paedophilia) also in the Church. The article presents the most important films, produced since the end of the 20th century, whose authors present the crime of paedophilia, its victims, the mechanisms leading to its concealment and silence not only in the Church, but also in the media and society. Films about paedophilia, which are a recognisable voice of victims in the public space, a cry for truth and justice, can also be useful tools for media education.

This paper is an attempt to characterise the policy of the Duke of Kraków– Sandomierz Bolesław V towards the monasteries functioning in his realm. The author will discuss only those conventions, which helped the duke implement his economic policy, notably Benedictine, Cistercian, or Norbertine orders. Excluded are orders related to the new beggar movement, the only exception being the Zawochost-Skała Order of Saint Clare. The aim is to show the role of by the monasteries in the modernisation of the Kraków–Sandomierz state, since in the second half of the thirteenth century Małopolska attempted to catch up economic gap separating it from its neighbours. Duke Boleslaw was aware of the enormity of the challenges that awaited him at the beginning of his reign. The thirteenth century saw a great confl ict between the secular and spiritual power. One look at the situation in other districts – Wielkopolska, Mazovia and Silesia is enough to notice the signifi cant role of the aspirations of the clergy in the internal politics of those principalities. A young ruler from Kraków was cognisant of the ample opportunities that the collaboration with the Church could bring. With a view to achieving his economic objectives, he nevertheless decided on the cooperation with religious orders. It was an understandable move, given that monasteries had proper fi nancial background, as well as a network of contacts necessary for the modernisation of the Duchy of Kraków–Sandomierz. Furthermore, the role of monasteries in the process of colonisation and the acquisition of new settlers, as well as specialists in the fi eld of mining, cannot be overestimated. Bolesław V was aware of the role of the development of rural settlement and its interrelateion with urbanisation in the increase of the well-being of the entire state. Patterns from Silesia, Bohemia and Hungary indicated the monarch how he could enhance economic development of his land, and strengthen his own power. Such transformations nonetheless required considerable fi nancial outlay. Since princely treasure, ruined by invasion, was unable to provide adequate investment for modernization, the monarch supported the colonisation run by religious orders. In order to facilitate their economic development, legal and economic immunities were bestowed upon them. The duke supported also the assemblage of land. Immunisation was benefi cial not only for monks but also the ruler: the duke deprived the administrative apparatus of their judiciary prerogatives and took over part of its mandate and income. At the same time, the elimination of obsolete laws of princely duties provided the monasteries with the possibility of conducting an extensive colonisation action based on given freedoms, which resulted in the dissemination of novel economic solutions brought from the west by the monasteries. This knowledge included a comprehensive program of reconstruction of the domain in order to increase revenue. It is worthy of note that the Cistercians became the ruler’s chef specialists in the search for salt and other natural resources. The monks from Wąchock provided not only professional help in the search for salt, but also repair of salt brewing equipment. Owing to the development of this industry, salt mines of Wieliczka and Bochnia began to yield enormous revenues, which replenished princely treasure following the expropriation reform of Bolesław V. The major role of religious orders in the modernisation of the Duchy of Kraków–Sandomierz is therefore evident. Backed by regal authority and under the duke’s care, they were able to fully exploit their economic potential for the colonisation and urbanisation of Małopolska. Their cooperation with the monarch brought them immunities essential for the development of their possessions. Benefi cial to both parties, this police signifi cantly contributed to the changes in social relations in the state of Bolesław V. Patterns of economic restructuration imported by the monasteries became a model employed, albeit with some delay, also by the nobility.

The Hungarians are supposed to fi rst have come into contact with Christianity back on the steppes of the Black Sea and then in the Carpathian Basin. Among potential centres, seeding the new faith among them, are local Christians. However, these were fi rst the Byzantine Empire, which sent a mission of Hierotheos, a bishop, and later the Western Empire, which patronised Church missions in the second half of the tenth century, that played the leading role in Hungarian Christianity. Eventually, the ruling Árpád dynasty were baptised in the Roman Rite. The actual builder of the Hungarian Church was St. Stephen, who was canonised less than fi fty years after his death. This shows the specifi city of Hungarian Christianity: a developed cult of saint rulers. Another distinguishing feature of this Central-Eastern European country was the existence of two metropolises: in Esztergom and Kalocsa. This was perhaps due to a wish to honour Astrik, who received the pallium as bishop of Kalocsa, replacing Sebastian, the Archbishop of Esztergom. At the end of the article, I compare the development of Christianity in Hungary and Poland until the end of the thirteenth century.

Der Verf. des Artikels behandelt kritisch zwei Fragen, die in der Forschung über das Entstehen der Kirche vor Ostern Einfluss hatten: Loisy und Lohfing. Der Fehler beider beruht daran, dass sie nicht Jesus und sein Wirken als Neuheit erblicken konnten. Der Erweis de Texte des Neuen Testament liegt auf der Hand.

Im Johannesevangelium finden wir keine ausgeprögte Ekklesiologie. Jedoch die Kirche als konkrete Gemeinde wird angesprochen. Kirche gestallten alle die an Christus glauben und diesen Glauben in der Tat verwirklichen. Das wird anhand der Jüngerschaft plausibel gemacht. Es gibt nur eine Kirche, die durch den „zweiten” Paraklet weiter geleitet wird, den Christus der Kirche gesandt hat.
