The object of faith in the sense of Kant is the postulates of practical reason that is, the immortality of the soul and the existence of God. Together, they constitute the conditions for the possibility of the highest good. Objects of faith are natural, which means that they are constructed by human reason and not revealed by God. On the subject of the immortality of the soul and the existence of God, Kant speaks only from the perspective of pure practical reason. A comparison of the conception of faith of pure practical reason with the conception of Christian faith makes the differences between these two perspectives of faith visible. These differences indicate the specificity of each of them. It is particularly important that rational faith acknowledges the existence of postulates of practical reason, and the supernatural faith concerns the content revealed by God. Faith according to Kant is a natural activity, whereas revealed faith is a supernatural act. Furthermore, rational faith is limited only to the order of practical reason, whereas Christian faith is the activity of reason and will at the same time.

This paper explores reasons for the apparent ineffectiveness of religious education programmes in the Catholic schools of the West. It examines the impact of the anti-realist educational philosophy of Constructivism and the inadequacy of responses to these challenges, including those proposed by Recontextualisation theologians. The paper examines the work of the nineteenth century Eng-lish Cardinal, John Henry Newman, and recommends possible solutions to the crisis in religious education based on the work of his insights. It also argues the case for certitude as a necessary component of religious education.

Faith is a gift, because God takes the initiative to meet people. Any person accepting the gift of faith makes God the solid foundation of his life. The Christian faith can not exist “on its own”, since God’s revelation requires the authority of the Church, to not go wrong. Therefore, it is necessary to believe in the Church, where faith also grows and develops. Anyone who loses his connection to the Church, also loses faith. Moreover, the existence of the Church confirms the truth that faith determines moral principles. Accepting baptism signifies acceptance Christian morality and Christian teaching. The modern world wants to constrain Christian faith to the private sphere. The consequence of such an action is relativism of moral norms which subsequently lose their foundation which proceeds from the authority of the Church.

The article focuses three problematic knots. The fi rst one underlines how the modern utopias are not dead, but they have strikingly moved: the modern ideal of freedom, for example, changed into the post-modern ideal of security; the monism of values shared in common turned into a pluralism of personal, discontinuous and fragmented choices. The second knot identi fi es education itself as an evolving utopia: from the post colonial dream of education for all to the present priority to educate ex novo the social links in a globalised world; from the society of knowledge (instrumental good) to a pluralistic society of living together (structural good). The third knot calls to mind the classical eschatological hendiadys of the “already and not yet” that the theology of Christian Hope propose once more as the paradigm of the human living. In the - political and at same time mystic-dynamic of the historical present, dissuading in this way the believers from looking for the salvation in easy and utopian projections beyond this world.

The article is prefaces by a biographical note by Jan Zouhar, Remembering Jaroslav Šabata. In the article itself Šabata, “in the outer margins of Czesław Miłosz’s Theological Tract”, oﬀers a profoundly personal confession of lived dynamics of faith, be it Christian or Communist. He understands faith as a stance of willingness to measure oneself by more than personal interest. He speaks of an unconditional trust which makes for a historical catharsis. Rejecting neither the Communist nor the Christian ideal, heraises them to the level of a transformation of historical subjectivity intensiﬁed by the struggle for social transformation. Tus his confession transcends the seeming chasm between Christian and communist faith.

Paweł Włodkowic – Latin Paulus Vladimiri (1370-1435): Catholic priest, scholar, jurist, religious and political writer, rector of the Jagiellonian University, defender of Polish interests in disputes with Knights of the Teutonic Order. Paweł Włodkowic was an early teacher of the idea of tolerance, who during the Council of Constance stated that pagan nations have the right to maintain their religious beliefs. Based on the major theological authority of that time, i.e. Saint Thomas Aquinas, Włodkowic could, in the very concept of faith in the Catholic Church, see the most important elements requiring tolerance. The point is, above all, that faith must be an act of human freedom, that it is God’s grace and that it is closely related to reason. These elements have been commented on by authorities such as Edith Stein and Joseph Ratzinger.

Considerations, undertaken by the article, lead to a conclusion that reason and faith as sources of knowing God are determined by many factors. Analyses of Zofia J. Zdybicka’ s works show that the rational knowledge about God is conditioned with limits of the human nature, specificity of the nature of Absolute Being, as well as historical and cultural contexts (which contain possibilities of common sense knowledge, and type of philosophical cognition). While the knowledge about God acquired through religious faith is shaped with the historical Revelation of Divine Persons, and forms of its social and personal reception. So if reason and faith have their own autonomy, ie. “spaces” where they can be realized in accordance with their own natures, then it is not possible to give up on any of them without disturbing to know not only God, but man as well.

Marriage is a sacrament when it is entered into between two baptized persons. Does this mean, then, that it does not really matter in what disposition a given person gets married and that the fact of practicing the faith has no meaning whatsoever in relation to the validity of a marriage? Contemporary jurisprudence quite clearly defines the sacramentality of marriage in isolation from the fact of having faith and the intention to celebrate a sacramental marriage. Of course, from a pastoral point of view, deepening the faith should be a condition for contracting marriage. Moreover, a lack of faith certainly prevents the full enjoyment of the fruits of the sacrament, which becomes an unquestionable pastoral problem. However, does the lack of faith on the part of the contractor prevent him from entering into a valid marriage and, most importantly, is it possible to exclude the sacramentality of marriage with regard to its dignity in the case of a person deprived of the grace of faith? This article is an attempt to answer these questions.

PL

Małżeństwo jest sakramentem, jeśli jest zawarte pomiędzy dwiema osobami ochrzczonymi. Czy zatem oznacza to, że tak naprawdę nie jest istotne, w jakiej dyspozycji dane osoby zawierają małżeństwo i że w ogóle fakt praktykowania wiary nie ma jakiegokolwiek znaczenia w odniesieniu do ważności zawieranego małżeństwa? Współczesne orzecznictwo dość jednoznacznie określa sakramentalność małżeństwa w oderwaniu od faktu posiadania wiary, jak i intencji celebrowania małżeństwa sakramentalnego. Oczywiście z punktu widzenia duszpasterskiego pogłębienie wiary winno być stawiane jako warunek zawarcia małżeństwa. Co więcej, brak wiary z pewnością uniemożliwia pełne korzystanie z owoców sakramentu, co staje się niewątpliwym problemem duszpasterskim. Czy jednak brak wiary po stronie kontrahenta uniemożliwia ważne zawarcie przez niego małżeństwa? Moim zdaniem nie uniemożliwia, choć nie można takiej sytuacji wykluczyć w przypadku odrzucenia godności sakramentalnej małżeństwa.

The transmission of the essence of faith takes an important place in teaching religion. It is directly connected with the task of developing the knowledge of faith on every level of children’s and teenagers’ education. People involved in teaching and catechetical education, also religion teachers, are responsible for accomplishing this task. Today, after twenty two years of teaching religion at school, the transmission of the essence of faith is being critically discussed in school environment. The objections concern difficulties and limitations relating to the transmission of the essence of faith in school environment. Catechists and religion teachers unanimously claim that the transmission of the essence of faith is not possible without the grace of God in sacraments. They seldom pay attention to the teacher’s role in the process of transmitting the essence of faith. The author of this article makes an attempt to show the tasks that a religion teacher should fulfill as far as transmitting the essence of faith in school environment is concerned. Not only strategies of development and experiencing faith but also limitations and difficulties relating to it were mentioned. At first, the term „transmission of faith” was explained. Next, a short characterization of teaching religion at school was made. The basic tasks of religion teachers in transmitting the essence of faith were depicted in this context. Apart from catechetical activities directed at pupils, the attention was also paid to teaching staff, school staff and parents. This is because a religion teacher is qualified to have influence on all members of catechetical interaction in school environment. Finally, the most important, crucial to religion teaching and parish catechesis, open issues were described. They require further theoretical research and empirical verification. Searching the new model of catechetical priesthood is also essential.

The article presents the results of a survey conducted among 314 pedagogy (i.e. educational studies) students from Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Its goal was to learn about attitudes and approaches towards LGBT people of believers and non-believers among students. The choice of these three countries was deliberate due to their different levels of religiosity. The study was conducted using the diagnostic survey method. The results of the survey analysis showed significant differences in attitudes towards LGBT people depending on the respondents’ faith. The level of acceptance of LGBT people is higher among non-believers than among believers. The respondents are most accepting of lesbians and gays, but less accepting of transgender people. Both the general attitude towards LGBT people and the general attitude towards the rights of homosexual people were higher in the group of non-believers. The non-believers were also more likely to declare that homosexuality is normal and should be tolerated.

Following the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church notices the need for the existence in particular dioceses of an institutional way of Christian initiation for adults who wish to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. At the same time, there is a universal recognition of the need to organize in local churches and relatively big parishes special places where it would be possible for adults to gradually experience post-baptismal initiation. Zbigniew Kiernikowski, the Bishop of Legnica, offers us a comprehensive proposition of Christian initiation for adults, which can be experienced both prior to and after the celebration of the sacraments of Christian initiation. He updates the way of initiation in a very specific manner, which the Church recommends in the Rite of Christian initiation of adults adjusted to Polish customs. His proposition is firmly set in the biblical, liturgical, ecclesial and existential contexts. Its great asset is the author’s pastoral practice. The outline of the catechumenate and proposed catecheses were not created by him while sitting at a desk, but rather as a result of his ministry, the long-term programmes implemented personally in the dioceses of Siedlce and Legnica, the catecheses delivered, the scrutinies carried out and the sacraments celebrated. Yet, it needs to be stressed that the presented catecheses do not deal with all the essential dimensions of a Christian’s new life. Neither are they a systematic theological lecture on the sacraments of initiation. His numerous texts contain very interesting intuitions related to the existence of a new man, the Son of God, who is born thanks to being immersed in the waters of baptism. His proposition of experiencing initiation is incredibly valuable and unique against the backdrop of the Polish contemporary thought and sacramental practice.

The article offers a demonstration of the correlation between faith and church law in the catholic perspective. The author stands on the position that faith is of essence for law understood as a phenomenon and as regulations that play an active role in the life of community of believers. It is because faith is a factor in the processes of drafting law, interpreting law, and implementing law. The conclusion is that in the study of church law more attention should be paid to faith especially during the Year of faith.

The essence of the proclamation of the Good News is a call to conversion, which seems absent from the Fourth Gospel due to the lack of any direct reference. The biblical idea of conversion is first expressed there by a call to believe in Jesus as the Son of God; then by the repeated motif of coming out of darkness into the light, approaching and discovering (accepting) the truth; being born of God and the Spirit, approaching Jesus, testifying about him, accepting and following him, and finally glorifying God. This study aims to present this multi-faceted process, whose framework is outlined by John, first in the prologue to his Gospel and then developed in the narrative. The same order is applied in the individual stages of this analysis employing a synchronic approach, which enables the readers to derive the edifying call to turn to Jesus and follow him to gain eternal life from the final, i.e., canonical, version of John’s text.

In the 50s of the twentieth century Leo Strauss and Eric Voegelin conducted an important dispute concerning the status of myth and the relationship of philosophy to theology. As they both remained creative within the broader political philosophy, their argument took the form of discussion on the status of political theology. This discussion seems to be even more interesting as it invokes the controversial position of political theology in the writings of Thomas Hobbes and his followers. In his article the author summarizes both the arguments of overt and directly guided polemics (among others correspondence in the years 1934 to 1964) of both authors, and reconstructs at least the most important evidence of their positions in this dispute. The author wishes also to respond to the subject matter of this dispute, and therefore the relation of philosophy to theology and the relationship between political theology and political philosophy, with reference to recent studies, among others of Merio Scattola and Jacob Taubes, were discussed.

This article analyses Jürgen Habermas’ relation to religion. To this end, it focuses on the post-secular phase of this relation: that is, on the period in which Habermas conceives of religion as a partner in dialogue, and makes an appeal for secular reason to learn from religion. In the article I formulate the thesis that Habermas is, in his relation to religion, ambivalent in more ways than one: on the one hand he speaks about the rationality of religion, on the other hand, there remain in his approach traces of the secularizing thesis which sees religion as irrational. On the one hand he is painfully aware of the deficiencies of secular reason, while on the other hand he rejects religiously-oriented philosophy and relies on the concept of translation, which is in many way inadequate. The shift in attitude, making reason receptive towards religion, which is cultivated in Habermas’ contemporary work, is treated, in this article, as inadequate, and a further shift in this direction is recommended.

St. Gregory of Nyssa came from a numerous family which, having already been Christian for few generations, gave few saints to the Church. The care for the purity of faith manifested itself in different ways. First, it appeared as a careful upbringing in a family environment, which was established by all family mem-bers, namely parents and elder children who assisted in educating younger sib-lings, and which became visible in the transfer of faith from oldest generations to youngest ones by creating some tradition. The second area in ecclesial circles was the care for the orthodoxy. A fragment of the letter of St. Basil the Great to the eldest of Neocezarea can be an example of the care for the purity of the de-posit of the faith, which is strongly against heterodox teaching propagated in some ambiences. For the Cappadocian fathers heterodox sciences referring to the deity of the Son, the Holy Spirit and the appropriate understanding of the Holy Trinity, were a big challenge. St. Gregory of Nyssa appeared against dif-ferent manifestations of the heterodoxy (such as Arians, eunomians, macedoni-ans etc.) in a deliberate and determined way. Parallel to the theological reflec-tion he progressed the realization of commandments and evangelical advices through establishing the care for needs of the poor and the elderly, and ad-vanced attempts for strengthening faith instilled with baptism and for showing the prospect of participation in the life of God.
