The year 2021 brought several reasons to remember the Rev. Philip J. Rosato, a Jesuit priest and long-time professor of sacramental theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome (1979-2004). The particular occasion was the tenth anniversary of his death (July 20, 2011) and the eightieth anniversary of his birth (July 7, 1941). The biographical dates also include thirty years since the publication of his most widely read work: An Introduction to the Theology of the Sacraments (Introduzione alla teologia dei sacramenti, 1992). The pastoral visit of Pope Francis to Slovakia (12.9.-15.9.2021) offered an additional reason to remember him. It is the thesis that the foundation of Christian orthopraxis lies in the sacramental liturgy, which is a pneumatic recollection and re-presentation of Jesus' prophetic gestures into which the faithful are grafted. At the same time, they are encouraged by sacramental grace to live in conformity with the ethical dimension of the gesture, walking toward the full realization of the Father's kingdom. Rosato's sacramental theology, emphasizing the ethical dimension of sacramental grace, was formulated in response to the ongoing sacramental crisis of the Western Church. The study is divided into three parts (anamnestic, indicative-explanatory and prognostic); its purpose is to recall the personality of Ph. J. Rosato, his theology and the interpretation of the focal points of his sacramental theology, as well as a prognostic outline of the significance of an ethically designed sacramental theology for the Church in the time of the new evangelization and pastoral conversion.

This study reflects on the social teaching of Pope Francis, which is based on four principles set forth in his apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium: time is greater than space; unity prevails over conflict; realities are more important than ideas; the whole is greater than the part. Pope Francis is convinced that the application of these principles can be a genuine path to peace in social coexistence within each nation and in the entire world. Pope Francis also urges to “slow down” and “train contemporary man to use power well”. These calls reflect the reality of today’s fast-paced and performance-driven era. Pope Francis grounds his social principles in a dialogical dimension of human nature that he derives from the Trinitarian theology. Today, in the age full of conflicts, it seems of utmost importance to apply this type of theology to ordinary spirituality. This enables us to grasp the very essence of our problems and present the reality in a Trinitarian key. In explaining Francis’ principles, the study draws on several phenomenological reflections of various authors.

The promotion of synodality is the most significant pastoral initiative of Pope Francis. It focuses renewed attention on the reception of the Second Vatican Council. This article discusses how synodality gives new life to two aspects of the council’s ecclesiological vision, namely, the church as the people of God and the theology of the local church. They played a major role early in the council’s reception but were later side lined. Synodality now brings them back to the centre of attention.

Synodality is a signature pastoral initiative of Pope Francis. He has been implementing it more robustly not only on the level of the Synod of Bishops but has been promoting it on all levels of the church. This article discusses the current state of the theology of synodality, including its various challenges and opportunities.

This study deals with several phenomena of the pontificate of Pope Francis in its historical context. It reflects some major recent works on the topic and discusses the shift in the priorities of current papacy towards global Catholicism and the systematic interest in the social, economic, and geographical margins of contemporary world. It examines the limits of the pontificate seen in vigorous opposition within the church and the post-resignation papacy of Benedict XVI. It also deals with the pope’s relation to the Second Vatican Council and his approach to resolving intra-church crises and tensions, as well as his efforts to restore the credibility and authority of the Catholic Church.

The exhortation of Pope Francis Evangelii Gaudium brought many ideas and reflections of the contemporary Church, but also the Western world, which has become characterised by a way of economic thinking and acting that increasingly clashes with borders of social ethics. Francis´ controversial dictum “this economy kills” (EG 53) questions the discourse of contemporary standards in the economic space. But the criticism of the current capitalist economy by Francis is not solitary in the tradition of the social doctrine of the Church, but builds on the previous encyclicals, which also critically assess style of market economy, that does not respect the dignity of the human person. They do not condemn the market economy in itself, but draw attention to the necessary ethical dimension of economics, namely, to serve man and not vice versa.
