The Church as the depository of the will of Jesus Christ takes continually efforts to fidelity mission entrusted by its founder. The implementation of the tasks entrusted to the Church is mainly in the conveyance of God's Word and the sacraments. The command to baptize, contained in the pages of the Gospel, is fundamental for the Church of all time. Based on baptism for the other sacraments, baptism is the gateway to the Community Church, makes free from original sin and other offenses. Given such great generosity of God to man, ask for the right of the child for baptism. Already in the pages of the New Testament and then in the early centuries of church history we have traces of the practice of baptism of infants. A great role to play in such cases, the parents of the child and the person asked to serve as godparents. The parents are the child’s first educators. Their status in the Church is different. Some people can and are very good practice of religious life for posterity, others on the contrary: even though they have opened the way for the sacraments, rejected the possibility of using the source of grace through the routine of sin consists in creating a community of like marriage. Do these people are able to guarantee the development of the religious life of their children, to undertake what is the baptism ceremony? The answer is obvious. Thus, the decision of the baptism of their child has to be postponed until he or parents change their attitude, or the child is asked for the grace of baptism.

In the Church of England baptism must always be administered with water in the name of the blessed Trinity, according to Jesus Christ’s command (Mt 28,19). As regards the effect of this sacrament marks a person’s new birth into God’s kingdom. It is a death to sin and comprehends gifts that by nature people cannot have. In it they are regenerated and made members of Christ and children of God. Baptism is something that happens to someone on the outside (being dipped in or sprinkled with water) as a symbol or sign of something happening on the inside (repentance, forgiveness and the gift of the Holy Spirit). The baptism of baby or an adult is a sign of the profound spiritual change which takes place when someone becomes a Christians. This is why this sacrament is celebrated as such an important event in the life of the Church. There are two basic types of baptism service in the Church of England. There are baptism services that follow the order of service in the Book of Common Prayer of 1662 and there are those that follow the orders of service in Common Worship that were authorised for use from 1998. In spite of the differences there are a number of core elements that can be seen in the orders of service in both the Book of Common Prayer and Common Worship, elements that are central to Christian baptism and that can be found in services of baptism from very early time. In the case of the Common Worship services there is the option for additional elements, which are also practices that go back to the early days of the Church. In the Anglican Churches godparents agree to take on three special responsibilities; to pray for the child, to set him a good example and to teach him. The Church expect parents and godparents to play their part in introducing the child to Christianity. Those who are older when they are baptized have sponsors rather than Godparents. The role of the sponsor is not to speak for the person being baptized, but to formally present them for baptism and to help them in their growth as Christians after they have been baptised.

A diocesan synod should be convened when deemed necessary by the diocesan bishop. In the Diocese of Rzeszów, which was set up in 1992 by Pope John Paul II, the synod was announced on November 21, 1998. The first session of the Synod of the Diocese of Rzeszów took place on March 24, 1999 and the solemn closure meeting on November 20, 2004. In a decree issued on that day, Kazimierz Górny, the Bishop of the Diocese of Rzeszów, approved the resolutions and announced them as the diocesan particular law. The resolutions of the synod became effective on January 19, 2005. The following article presents the rules of the particular law in regard to celebrating the sacrament of baptism, which is the “gate” to other sacraments, in the parishes of the Diocese of Rzeszów. The Church, which safeguards the deposit of sacraments, has the right to formulate the rules of their valid and respectful celebration. The author of this article discusses matters related to the baptism of children as well as adults. The article presents aspects related to the minister of the sacrament, parents and godparents, as well as the time and place of the celebration of baptism. It also refers to the “Instruction on celebrating the sacrament of baptism” which includes a lot of practical advice and pastoral suggestions for the ministers in order for the celebration of this sacrament to have influence on the formation of the religious life of the child’s parents, godparents and other related people. Following the common law norms, the Synod of the Diocese of Rzeszów highlights that priests should often remind their believers, both in the church and during the catechesis, about the meaning of this sacrament. It is necessary for salvation; through it the human being is freed from their sins and thus receives the dignity of the Child of God, becomes similar to Christ and gets included into the Catholic Church community. Priests should faithfully observe the liturgical regulations which set forth the way in which baptism should be celebrated, and respectfully treat other canonical norms. They are responsible for the correct documentation of this celebration by making a mandatory note in the parish book of the baptized.

The penitential books written during the Late Ancient Christianity and the Early Middle Ages are an evidence of the formation of the penitential practices in the Church. The aim of this article is to discuss – in the light of these books – a variety of practices, including those seen as inadequate, which were related to the sacrament of Baptism and which caused significant punishment to those deemed guilty. Such penitential practices required adequate atonement which was often difficult to fulfill.The penitential books pointed out that the child should be baptized as soon as possible, especially if they were ill. During the confession, the confessors were required to verify when the child was brought to be baptized by their parents. Penitentiaries also discussed when baptism can be seen as rightfully administered and when not. They highlighted that rightfully administered baptism cannot be administered again. Some of the penitential books contained, however, an incorrect understanding of the relation between the moral life of the priest who administered baptism and the rightfulness of the sacrament. The books also pointed out who can become a godparent and discussed the obstacle of priest’s kinship with regards to the sacrament of baptism.

Księgi pokutne, które powstały w epoce późnej starożytności chrześcijańskiej i wczesnego średniowiecza, są świadectwem kształtowania się praktyki pokutnej w Kościele. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie w świetle tychże ksiąg różnych praktyk, także tych niewłaściwych, związanych z sakramentem chrztu, które powodowały obciążenie winnych dotkliwymi karami – pokutami wymagającymi odpowiedniego zadośćuczynienia, często trudnego do wykonania.W księgach pokutnych zwracano szczególną uwagę, że dziecko powinno zostać ochrzczone jak najszybciej, zwłaszcza w sytuacji, kiedy chorowało. Nakazywano ponadto spowiednikom, aby weryfikowali w ramach spowiedzi czas, w którym rodzice przynosili dziecko do chrztu. Penitencjały zwracają także uwagę na kwestię, kiedy sakrament chrztu, jest ważnie udzielony, a kiedy nie. Podkreślano, że chrzest ważnie udzielony nie może zostać ponowiony. W niektórych księgach pokutnych znajdujemy natomiast błędne rozumienie zależności życia moralnego szafarza i ważności udzielanego sakramentu. Pojawia się także zagadnienie, kto może pełnić rolę rodzica chrzestnego, jak i omówienie przeszkody pokrewieństwa duchowego mającego swe korzenie w analizowanym sakramencie.

The article contains an analysis of the previous and current statutes canon law on the possibility for the non-Catholics to be the godparents, sponsors for confirmation, and witnesses for marriage. The laws which are today in force are far from the strict provisions of the old law, which assumed as a rule that the above functions in the Catholic Church should be performed by only by the Catholics who were not allowed to undertake similar tasks in other Churches or Christian Communities. Exceptions to this rule were relatively infrequent – especially for the godparents – and had to be well justified. The current regulations retain the general rule, but the possibility of applying exceptions is quite broad and included in the law, so that it is not necessary to refer to the church superior in individual cases. Such a relaxation of discipline is due both to ecumenical reasons and to the desire to overcome practical problems, especially in mixed marriages.

Artykuł zawiera analizę dawnych i obowiązujących przepisów prawa kanonicznego na temat możliwości pełnienia przez niekatolików funkcji chrzestnych, świadków bierzmowania i świadków przy zawarciu małżeństwa. Obowiązujące dziś przepisy znacznie odbiegają od surowości dawnego prawa, które przyjmowało za regułę, iż powyższe funkcje w Kościele katolickim winni pełnić katolicy, co więcej – nie wolno im było podejmować analogicznych zadań w innych Kościołach czy Wspólnotach chrześcijańskich. Wyjątki od tej reguły były dopuszczane stosunkowo rzadko – zwłaszcza w odniesieniu do chrzestnych – i musiały być dobrze uzasadnione. Dzisiejsza regulacja zachowuje ogólną regułę, ale możliwość zastosowania wyjątków jest dość szeroka i zawarta w przepisach prawa, tak iż nie trzeba odnosić się do przełożonego kościelnego w poszczególnych przypadkach. Takie złagodzenie dyscypliny wynika zarówno z przesłanek ekumenicznych, jak i z pragnienia przezwyciężenia praktycznych problemów, zwłaszcza w przypadku małżeństw mieszanych.

The aim of this study is a deeper explanation and clarification of liturgical and canonical norms concerning the institution of godparents. This article can contribute to a better understanding of the importance of godparents in the development of the spiritual life of the baptized. In summary, one can draw some basic conclusions. Godparents are the guarantors and helpers in the development of faith and Catholic morality. Therefore, every candidate for the sacrament of baptism should have two godparents. In exceptional cases, just one godparent is enough. Two persons of the same sex can never be godparents for one person.

Problematyka podjęta w artykule, a dotycząca posługi chrzestnych, oscyluje między zagadnieniami liturgicznymi i ich znaczeniem prawnym. Zwyczaj obecności chrzestnych przy udzielaniu osobie nieochrzczonej sakramentu chrztu świętego oraz pomocy w wychowaniu religijnym sięga początków Kościoła katolickiego. Pierwszoplanowym zadaniem chrzestnych jest wspieranie rodziców neofity w ich trosce o to, by rozwijała się w nim wiara chrześcijańska. Rozważając problematykę znaczenia chrzestnych w wychowaniu religijnym nowo ochrzczonego, należy zwrócić uwagę na istotę tej instytucji dla rozwoju neofity, dlatego wybór ich powinien być przemyślany, gdyż winni oni być wzorowymi katolikami. Wymaga się od nich prowadzenia życia, które nie powoduje zgorszenia. Katolicy, którzy nie spełniają podstawowych wymogów chrześcijańskich, sami się wykluczają z możliwości pełnienia przez nich funkcji chrzestnego. Artykuł włącza się w dyskusje nad liturgiczno-prawnymi aspektami instytucji chrzestnych.

In the face of changes taking place in the modern world, it is noted for the need of constant stimulation to the living testimony of faith. That is why the aim of this article is to highlight the important role in stimulating the living witness of faith, and in raising awareness of parents of their duties and responsibilities, in relation to their children's full baptismal catechesis. Catechesis is an opportunity for their religious development, so that from the individual faith, they can move to the faith professed and shaped in the community of the Church and family. Today's hustling and variety of proposals for ,,happy life” flowing from the world do not appear to facilitate this task. However, the chance to meet and talk about issues of faith gives hope to a new awakening. When catechesis is well prepared, it will undoubtedly be able to achieve its purpose.

W obliczu przemian zachodzących we współczesnym świecie zauważa się potrzebę nieustannego pobudzania do żywego świadectwa wiary. Dlatego też celem artykułu jest podkreślenie jak ważną rolę w pobudzaniu do żywego świadectwo wiary i w uświadamianiu rodzicom ich zadań i obowiązków względem ich dzieci pełni katecheza chrzcielna. Katecheza ta stanowi szansę ich rozwoju religijnego tak, aby od wiary indywidualnej mogli przejść oni do wiary wyznawanej i kształtowanej we wspólnocie Kościoła i rodziny. Dzisiejsze zabieganie i wielość propozycji na ,,szczęśliwe życie” płynących ze świata zdają się nie ułatwiać tego zadania. Jednakże sama już szansa spotkania i porozmawiania o sprawach wiary daje nadzieję nowego przebudzenia. Gdy katecheza ta zostanie dobrze przygotowana niewątpliwie będzie mogła osiągnąć swój cel.

The main theological issues faced in the works on Ordo Confirmationis included: definition of the sacramental sign of Confirmation, i.e. its substance and sacramental formula, the main effect of Confirmation, which is the Gift of the Holy Spirit as well as the relation of the sacrament to baptism and the Eucharist. Confirmation was unequivocally recognized as the second sacrament of Christian initiation. Pastoral problems referred to ministers, recipients and witnesses of Confirmation. Presbyters were granted wider rights to administer Confirmation, while godparents were allowed to become witnesses and the Conferences of Bishops could define the age of recipients as other than that of 7 years.
