The article deals with the subject of searching the nature of the consecrated virginity in the Church. This analysis is based on the theological and liturgical aspects defined by Ordo Consecrationis Virginum and Ordo Professionis Religiosae. Therefore we take the assumption that the most appropriate criterion of its interpretation in the Christian reality can be found in the principle: lex orandi – lex credendi. From this perspective the consecrated virginity is perceived as positive reality as far as faith celebration is concerned. The liturgy describes virginity as a gift offered to man by God’s people. Faith is also a prize and through the liturgy it is able reach its highest point. Virginity glorified in the Christian reality becomes a present as well as it is not only connected with but also filled with faith. Virginity consecrated under liturgical circumstances gains both ontological and dynamic features typical of worship. This sequentially allows to understand that virginity is not simply the result of ascetic effort, nor it is the physical adornment of a believer. In fact it spreads on the whole person who is being revived by sacraments. It makes them improve by personal commitment marking their route through the history of salvation.

Symbolically subversive facet of the virginity motif in Luce Irigaray’s philosophy is the major focus of the presented text. It commences by citing a thesisby Claude Lévi-Strauss speaking of the patriarchal social structure, which exercises heteronormative sexuality and reproduction control, being based upon the principle of the exchange of women. What the said subjugation of women and turning them into means of exchange by masculine subjects entails, is repression of feminine subjectivity, corporeality, sexuality, masculine dominance becoming paramount, and the coercion of heterosexual male substitution, that is, transformation of women into replaceable entities. Irigaray calls this phenomenon “the women market” – the principle of patriarchal culture which establishes their prices based on their structural position in circulation. The virgin – an obvious sign of transaction taking place between men – is utilizedby Irigaray as a basis for a new project of female autonomy which, in turn, instigates entirely new order of the corporeal, drives and desires, designed for symmetricity closeness, and relationality. Juxtaposing this project with a category of “self-excitability,” which sees feminine subjectivity as immanently causative, lead us to a redefinition of the traditional pattern of sexuate/sexual difference founded on hierarchy and repression, aimed at the ethics of sexual/sexuate difference and their inclusive openness to newly-defined, variegated, and manifold subjectivities.

Primeval East Church was very careful in the use of classical greek's terms specyfying love. The article presents conception breaking above tendency − the idea of ecstatic, ardent eros in St. Gregory's of Nyssa first written tractate − De virginitate, and is intended to submit variety of types of love and role of love in virginal life. The bishop of Nyssa, seeing main purpose of all human efforts in assimilation to God, emphasizes the virtue of chastity, which increases with love. Owing to this virtue, soul-bride reflects in itself intertrinitarian relations. Through love man rises his nature, assuming triad assigned to nature of God: holiness, impeccability and chastity, and becoming completely and entirely open to experience of spiritual marriage with God.

Artykuł bogaty w najnowszą literaturę przedmiotu składa się z dwóch zasadniczych części: w pierwszej przedstawiony jest stosunek św. Hieronima do małżeństwa i dziewictwa, które Strydończyk zgodnie z ówczesną tradycją wychwala i stawia wyżej od pierwszego (to jedynie dopuszcza ze względu na prokreację i pomnażanie liczby dziewic), w drugiej zaś omówiony jest rzadko poruszany przez współczesnych badaczy status wczesnochrześcijańskich wdów i ich działalności, oraz problem niechętnie widzianego w starożytności chrześcijańskiej powtórnego małżeństwa.

Pierwotny Kościół wschodni zachowywał dużą ostrożność w stosowaniu greckich klasycznych terminów określających miłość. W artykule prezentowana jest przełamująca tę tendencję koncepcja ekstatycznego, żarliwego erosa w pierwszym spisanym traktacie św. Grzegorza z Nyssy – De virginitate. Autorka pragnie przybliżyć różnorodność typów miłości oraz jej podstawową rolę w życiu dziewiczym. Widząc w upodobnieniu do Boga cel wszelkich wysiłków człowieka, Nysseńczyk akcentuje wzrastającą wraz z miłością cnotę czystości, dzięki której dusza-oblubienica odzwierciedla w sobie relacje wewnątrztrynitarne. Dzięki miłości człowiek wznosi swą naturę, przybierając triadę właściwą naturze Boskiej: świętość, nieskazitelność i czystość, stając się całkowicie i niepodzielnie otwartym na doświadczenie duchowych zaślubin z Bogiem.

Mało jest rzeczywistości eklezjalnych, które spotykają się dziś z tak wielkim niezrozumieniem, jak bezżenność dla Królestwa Bożego. Niektórym zdaje się ona zjawiskiem zupełnie niemieszczącym się we współczesnej kulturze, inni ogłaszają, że jest ona właściwie niemożliwa. Tymczasem bezżenność jest ważnym znakiem, który może okazać się Dobrą Nowiną dla ludzi współczesnych, niepotrafiących zrozumieć właściwego znaczenia seksualności w życiu człowieka. Bezżenność nie jest ponadto czymś dotyczącym jedynie niektórych chrześcijan – w pewnym sensie jest ona cechą każdego wierzącego, tak że można mówić o swoistej bezżenności potencjalnej chrześcijan.

The article presents the subject of celibacy in the context of cultural chaos in sexual life, which we observe in the contemporary world. The sexuality, marked by the original sin, seems to be an ambiguous phenomenon: on the one hand, it is a sphere through which we can express our deep love towards the other person, but on the other hand, it is a sphere when we egoistically abuse the others. Because of this ambiguity, sexuality easily becomes a god for a person, taking real God’s place in his heart. The Gospel gives people infi nite freedom from everything, which is not God, also from sexual fulfi llment. Then, the celibacy becomes the feature of every Christian, as they enjoy spiritual freedom and thus, they are ready to give up their sexual lives. Thanks to the freedom, given by the Holy Spirit, every Christian becomes a sign of the fact that only God himself can bring a person lasting and deep happiness.

The body and the stigma. Defloration as an act of building femininity The paper offers an analysis of the cultural meanings of the bodily attributes and practices related to virginity and defloration; the most important are “bloodstains” (a sign of the loss of virginity) and “penetration” (regarded as the only “true” form of sexual intercourse). The obligation to present the defloration and the shame that accompanies it are the vantage point to the analysis of the forms of stigmatizing femininity. A deconstruction of the meanings acquired by penetration led me to a conclusion that the cause-effect relation between gender and culturally defined sexual practices (including sexual orientation) is not only inseparable, but also different than it has usually been thought. It is not the gender that determines an individual’s sexuality, but the culturally imposed sexual practices build the gender. Ciało i piętno. Defloracja jako wytwarzanie kobiecościArtykuł poświęcony jest kulturowym znaczeniom cielesnych atrybutów i praktyk związanych z dziewictwem i defloracją. Szczególne miejsce wśród nich zajmuje plama krwi jako znak obwieszczający utratę dziewictwa oraz penetracja powszechnie uważana za jedyny „prawdziwy” seks. Przymus uwidocznienia defloracji oraz wstyd z tym związany traktuję jako punkt wyjścia do rozważań na temat piętnowania kobiecości. Dekonstrukcja narosłych wokół penetracji znaczeń pozwala z kolei dostrzec, że związek przyczynowo-skutkowy między płcią kulturową a kulturowo definiowanymi praktykami seksualnymi – w tym orientacją seksualną – jest nie tylko nierozerwalny, ale i odwrotny, niż zwykło się sądzić. To nie płeć kulturowa decyduje o seksualności jednostki, lecz kulturowo wymuszone praktyki seksualne produkują płeć.

The paternity and the virginity are harmoniously united in St. Joseph by the virtue of the hypostatic union of Jesus Christ. That’s why Joseph participates in the mystery of the Incarnation. This virginal paternity is authentic, that came from the Father, was assumed and exerted within the marriage with Mary. A lot of terms have been used through the history to define this virginal paternity, that appears to be the best expression of the uniqueness and exceptionality of Joseph’s paternity.

Muchos, a lo largo de la historia, han sido los terminos empleados para definir dicha paternidad, pareciendo ser virginal el que mejor expresa la singularidad y excepcionalidad de la paternidad de José.

The present article is an analysis of 1 Corinthians 7:1-40. It presents the relevance of the choice of one’s way of life, either in marriage or in celibacy. Considering the passing away of this life, St. Paul showed the Corinthians the value of virginity as a testimony of the Kingdom of God. According to the apostle, this particular form of life is the best preparation for the eternal life. It enables a person to completely devote his/her life to the preaching of the Kingdom. St. Paul chose this way of living in order to commit himself to the proclamation of the Gospel. Celibacy freed him from all concerns related to the providing for the family. The teachings comprised in the analyzed text are particularly relevant for Christians living in the early twenty-first century. 1 Cor 7: 29-31 is utterly opposed to the models of life preferred in the contemporary world. In light of this utterance, it is worth asking where we can be led by this world that has chosen a completely different way of living. It is no wonder that modern man is not able to understand the value of virginity and celibacy which are a call to conversion and a sign of the Kingdom that will be opposed.

Artykuł dotyczy znaczenia, jakie w religijności i ideologii władzy w ottońskiej Rzeszy miało święte dziewictwo. Zwraca uwagę na jego szczególną rolę w budowaniu autorytetu ludzi Kościoła obojga płci, a także pozycji władczyni. Pokazuje, że właśnie w kontekście dziewictwa należy rozumieć szczególne związki łączące ich z Marią Panną, traktowaną jako pierwsza ze świętych dziewic i ich królowa. Towarzyszy temu pytanie o związek dziewictwa z płcią, a więc o jego znaczenie tak w duchowości mężczyzn i kobiet, jak i w proponowanych im wzorach świętości. The article focuses on the importance of holy virginity for the devotion and ideology of power in the Ottonian Reich. The author pays attention to its special role in establishing the authority of people of the Church, of both genders, and the position of the queen. He demonstrates that it is in the very context of the virginity that their special relationship with the Virgin Mary should be understood, for she was regarded as the first of the holy virgins and their queen. This is accompanied by the question about the relation between virginity and gender, and thus about its significance for the spirituality of men and women as well as models of sanctity offered to them.

Dzisiejszy świat zarażony jest hedonizmem. Dotyczy to także sfery seksualnej, gdzie media promują często pornografię, antykoncepcję, swobodę obyczajów, styl życia erotycznego. Szczególnie młodzi ludzie narażeni są na zgubne skutki tej propagandy, która odrywa seks od miłości. Kościół, wierny Jezusowi Chrystusowi i Jego nauce moralnej, broni godności każdego człowieka i wychowuje młodzież do czystości przedmałżeńskiej. Pośród wielu inicjatyw, które promują życie w czystości wśród młodych, jest także Ruch Czystych Serc, przeniesiony do Polski z USA, gdzie powstał w 1993 roku (True Love Waits). W Polsce propagowany jest przez dwumiesięcznik Miłujcie się!, ma już swoją 20-letnią historię i tysiące członków, którzy zadeklarowali zachowanie czystości do dnia ślubu. Patronką Ruchu jest bł. Karolina Kózkówna, która straciła swoje młode życie broniąc cnoty czystości. Idea Ruchu Czystych Serc jest godna rozpowszechniania. Wpisuje się ona w Jezusowe błogosławieństwo z Kazania na Górze, że świętość osiągną ci, którzy mają czyste serce.

Today’s world is endangered by hedonism. This concerns the sexual sphere as well, where the media often promote pornography, contraception, laxity of customs and an erotic life style. Young people are especially threatened by the side-effects of propaganda, which deprives sex of love. The Church, which is faithful to Jesus Christ and His moral teaching, protects every human’s dignity and brings up youth to prenuptial purity. Amongseveral campaigns which promote living in purity among the young,there is the Pure Hearts Movement. It was created in the USA in 1993 (True Love Waits) and was brought to Poland from there. In Poland it is promoted by the bimonthly magazine Miłujcie się! It has ahistory of 20years and thousands of members who have declared they will stay pure until their wedding. The patron saint of the Movement is blessed Karolina Kózkówna who lost her young life defending her virginity. The idea of the Pure Hearts Movement is worth spreading. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus says the pure in heart are blessed.

Ojcostwo i dziewictwo są harmonicznie złączone u św. Józefa na mocy unii hipostatycznej Jezusa Chrystusa. To dlatego Józef uczestniczy w tajemnicy wcielenia. To dziewicze ojcostwo jest autentyczne, ponieważ pochodzi od Ojca, zostało przyjęte i zrealizowane w małżeństwie z Maryją. W ciągu historii wiele było używanych terminów, aby zdefiniować owo ojcostwo, i wydaje się, że termin dziewicze najlepiej wyraża unikalność i wyjątkowość ojcostwa Józefa.

Celem tego artykułu było zbadanie, jak św. Aniela była posłuszna Duchowi Świętemu w swoim życiu? Analizy świadectw jej życia oraz jej pism pokazały, że była prowadzona przez Ducha Świętego od wczesnego dzieciństwa i młodości. Podczas trudnych doświadczeń, jak śmierć rodziców i siostry, była otwarta na miłość do Boga i chciała należeć do Niego. Bóg prowadził ją i uczynił wrażliwą na Jego obecność w niej samej, w innych ludziach, w wydarzeniach. Aniela kochała słowo Boże, była kobietą modlitwy i ascezy. Była otwarta na dary i charyzmaty Ducha Świętego, szczególnie została obdarowana mądrością, proroctwem i oblubieńczą więzią z Chrystusem. Wszystkie te dary były jej dane dla dobra Kościoła, w sposób szczególny dla urszulańskiej wspólny gromadzącej się wokół niej. Święta Aniela stała się proroczym znakiem dla całego Kościoła.

The puropse of this article was to investigate how Saint Angela was obedient to the Holy Spirit in her life? An analysis of the witnesses in her life and of her writings showed that the Holy Spirit was leading Saint Angela Merici from her early childhood and youth. During difficult experiences, like the death of her parents and sister, she was open to the love of God and wanted to belong to Him. God lead her and she became sensitive to the presence of Him in herself, in other people and in everyday events. She loved the word of God, was deeply involved in prayer and lived an ascetic life. She was open to the gifts and charisms of the Holy Spirit and she was especially gifted with wisdom, the gift of prophecy and holy virginity. All of these gifts were given to her for the good of the Church and especially for the Ursuline community that gathered around her. She became a prophetic sign for the whole Church. She was a Bride of the Son of God and she showed that the Church is also a Bride of Jesus Christ.

“The Eighth Day of the Week”The Eighth Day of the Week is a short story by Marek Hłasko revolving around the topic of losing virginity. Literary scholars consider Hłasko as a representative of machismo; a masculine and male-centred narrator. This text analyses and deconstructs the short story defending it as a comprehensive record of misogynist culture written from the perspective of the main female protagonist and not the expression of misogyny of the author himself. The tools of discourse analysis and feminist philosophy applied to Hłasko’s text produce surprising results. Agnieszka – the main female protagonist of the short story – turns out to be a figure of non-conformity universalised by Hłasko, while the virginity and its loss become a part of female fate used by Hłasko as a motif to show the power of society over an individual. Meanwhile Agnieszka struggles for autonomy from domineering cultural patterns and gains it with the help of not so much barricades and spectacular gestures typical for male protagonists as wit, intelligence and trickery.
