The aim of the article is to look closely at the character of a pastor in selected works of the Scandinavian cinematography. The analysis covers two Danish films: Italiensk for begyndere (English title: Italian for Beginners) by Lone Scherfig and Adams Æbler (English title: Adam’s Apples) by Anders Thomas Jensen as well as one Norwegian film – De Usynlige (English title: Troubled Water) by Erik Poppe. All films presented were made after 2000, their actions take place in contemporary times and presume that the current social trends show con-tinuous departure of faithful people from the Church. How is the tendency reflected in the way a pastor is presented in the films? Intuitively one may guess that the pastor will be an outsider. However, in the films discussed in this article most characters are outsiders. Their faults and their failures remind us of the fundamental truth of the Lutheran anthropology and theology: man is a sinner. Also: no-one is alone in being a sinner. Being a pastor does not only involve a service within the Church, but first of all the power to forgive other people their sins. This means that the films presented in the article do not just tell stories about pastors, but – more significantly – they explore the Lutheran doctrine of universal priesthood. Each human is a sinner. Each Christian should be a pastor.

Christ expressed Himself essentially in His priesthood through which He had redeemed mankind and become the principle of the economy of salvation. This priesthood realised the primitive paradigm of religion that consists in the relationship: God-man and man-God. Christ established the most ultimate and the most perfect bond between God and man, and between man and God: God-man in one person. It is in Christ’s priesthood that priests (bishops and presbyters) participate in a sacramental manner; the faithful participate in it in a broad sense. The two kinds of priesthood stem from one and the same source, from the priesthood of Jesus Christ, and they should coexist, but the hierarchic priesthood is superior and normative. It is in the priesthood that the whole man is expressed and fulfilled on the model of Jesus Christ.

Though Fr. Dumitru Stăniloae did not address the topic extensively, a certain view on laymen’s participation in the Infallibility of the Church could be extracted from his writings. While professing the traditional teaching of the Orthodox Church, i.e., insisting on the role of hierarchy in preserving and formulating the faith, Stăniloae alluded to a specific charismatic role of laity in preserving and strengthening the faith. The dialogue with the ecclesiology of I. Karmiris also led Stăniloae to the formulation of a personal theory concerning the limits of Church infallibility. The collaboration between clergy and laymen, as witnessed by the Liturgy, appears to be a suitable description of the manner in which Church infallibility functions.

The article deals with an important and a subtle dichotomy between the universal priesthood and spiritual motherhood. The first, which is a vocation and Christian heritage by baptism, is to be realized spiritually with the full engagement of one’s mind, love and intention as well as through certain acts which flow from the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. These all create an image of the spiritual motherhood, which is a special mission in the Church, especially for a woman and which finds a number of holy examples throughout history. The ideal of it being Mary, Mother of God, who is to be followed and asked for intercession. Spiritual motherhood plays a magnificent role in relation to priests. The Apostolic See has promulgated official encouragements for it during the Year for Priests.

The problem of the diaconate is one of the theological issues that still require a lot of reflection. The discussion on this topic returns, although often in different, often opposite directions. The changes to the Code of Canon Law introduced by the motu proprio of Benedict XVI Omnium in mentem do not only concern the issue of diaconate. The papal intervention into canon law contributed to the rereading of the last council regarding the diaconate, but also all three degrees of the sacrament of Orders (the differences between them and the sacramental character). Another aspect is the universal priesthood and the ministerial priesthood, the relationship and the differences between them. The direction for deeper reflection by Pope Benedict XVI led us to the thesis that the diaconate, although constituting the first degree of the sacrament of Holy Orders, does not yet include it in the hierarchical priesthood, and thus the deacon still participates in the common priesthood.

Problematyka diakonatu stanowi jedną z kwestii teologicznych, które nadal wymagają głębokiej refleksji. Dyskusja na ten temat powraca, chociaż zmierzając w różnych, często przeciwnych kierunkach. Zmiany w Kodeksie prawa kanonicznego wprowadzone przez dokument Benedykta XVI Omnium in mentem nie dotyczą tylko samej kwestii diakonatu. Interwencja papieska w prawo kanoniczne przyczyniła się nie tylko do ponownego odczytania ostatniego Soboru w kwestii diakonatu, ale także wszystkich trzech stopni sakramentu święceń (różnic między nimi i sakramentalnego charakteru). Innym aspektem jest kapłaństwo powszechne i kapłaństwo służebne, relacja i różnice pomiędzy nimi. Wyznaczenie przez papieża Benedykta XVI kierunku do pogłębionej refleksji doprowadziło nas do tezy, iż diakonat, mimo że stanowi pierwszy stopień sakramentu święceń, nie włącza jeszcze do kapłaństwa hierarchicznego, a przez to diakon nadal uczestniczy w kapłaństwie powszechnym.

Professor Adam Ludwik Szfrański's theology of liturgy is an example of an integrated treatment of the whole theology. The basic term in his theological research is participation which is a philosophical idea used by him in theology to define the notion of sacramental character. This term is connected with three sacraments: baptism, confirmation and ordination. This is one of a few attempts of explaining this theological problem. For Szafrański this is the sacramental character, which comes from the baptism, that allows believers to participate in Christian worship and celebrate the liturgy. For him it is the basis for describing universal and ministerial priesthood, too. Szafrański presents both of them as the participation in the only priesthood of Christ. This has consequences in celebrating the liturgy which, first of all, is celebrated by Christ. The man is only included in Christ's activity. In Szafrański's opinion the most important among all sacraments is the Eucharist in which foremost aspect is Christ's Sacrifice. Believers' participation in the Eucharist consists in spiritual sacrificing which leads to the community with Christ in the Holy Communion. Szafrański's theology of liturgy has solid dogmatic foundations and connects the celebration with the Christian life and the Mystery of Christ. These attributes of his theology of liturgy allow it to be seen as an example of liturgical spirituality.

Profesor Adam Ludwik Szafrański jest teologiem którego teologia liturgii jest przykładem integralnego traktowania całej teologii. Pojęciem podstawowym w jego badaniach jest filozoficzny termin partycypacji, który stosuje on w opisie teologicznym. Termin ten służy mu do zdefiniowania pojęcia charakteru sakramentalnego związanego z sakramentami chrztu, bierzmowania i święceń. W teologii jest to jedna z niewielu prób wyjaśnienia tego zagadnienia. Szafrański uważa, że to charakter sakramentalny otrzymany we chrzcie pozwala wierzącemu uczestniczyć w kulcie chrześcijańskim i celebrować liturgię. Jest on także dla tego teologa podstawą do określenia kapłaństwa wiernych i kapłaństwa hierarchicznego. Szafrański pokazuje je jako uczestnictwo w jedynym kapłaństwie Chrystusa. Ma to bezpośrednie konsekwencje w sprawowaniu liturgii, która jest w jego teologii dziełem Chrystusa, w które człowiek zostaje włączony. Najważniejszym sakramentem jest dla tego teologa Eucharystia, w której najważniejszym aspektem jest aspekt ofiarniczy. Udział wierzących w tym sakramencie polega na składaniu Bogu ofiar duchowych, które prowadzą do zjednoczenia z Chrystusem w Komunii świętej. Teologia liturgii Szafrańskiego jest oparta na solidnych podstawach dogmatycznych oraz wiąże celebrację z życiem chrześcijańskim i Misterium Chrystusa. Te cechy jego teologii liturgii pozwalają widzieć ją jako przykład duchowości liturgicznej.
