  • Community the Life
    The Life Community A CHRISTIAN TOWN It is an idea of the life of the first Christians, cultivated nowadays by various Catholic and Christian movements. It is a community of people from various vocations and occupations who decided to live together—devoting themselves to evangelization, as well as liberation and mercy services—undertaking godly initiatives in the contemporary world. The Venerable Servant of God, Fr. Franciszek Blachnicki had a vision of such way of living in the movement within the Catholic Church— Light-Life Movement —which he mentions in his writings. The longing for the creation of the Oasis Evangelizing Life Community has risen in our hearts during the years of the formation of the Light-Life Movement. But it was only the mission of undertaking such initiative by the Archbishop Adam Szal that made this endeavour come into being on the 23rd of June 2016. the Light-Life Movement of przemyska archdiocese /oazaprzemyska www.wspolnotazycia.przemyska.pl At the moment, we have the opportunity to make it come into being in a former retreat house located in the picturesque village of Wrocanka (near Krosno). However, complete renovation is required in order to be fit for the first inhabitants, who are willing to be a part of this venture that we intend to call: the Community of the Merciful Christ the Servant. We have already started the first steps of the renovation—with insufficient material resources, counting entirely on the Divine Providence. We wholeheartedly ask you to pray for this endeavour. Also, anyone who is eager to learn some details about the movement, wants to help, or provide support with material resources or otherwise is more than welcome to contact us.

  • The Election Attitudes Among the Polish Minority Inhabiting the Region of Zaolzie in the Czech Republic (1990-2018)
    https://doi.org/10.4316/CC.2020.01.008 THE ELECTION ATTITUDES AMONG THE POLISH MINORITY INHABITING THE REGION OF ZAOLZIE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC (1990-2018) Radosław ZENDEROWSKI Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw, Poland E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The paper analyses the election activity of the Polish inhabitants of the Zaolzie region (the Czech Republic) in the 1990-2018 period referring to national elections (Lower Chamber of Parliament, Senate, President of the Czech Republic) as well as local and regional elections. The theoretical section offers analyses of national and ethnic minorities as (collective) political actors. The empirical part provides an in-depth analysis of the votes in particular elections, taking into consideration the communes with a significant rate of Polish inhabitants as well as those communes there the Polish ethnos was rather scarce. The ethnic affiliation has been considered as a vital independent variable of the choices made; however, other variables explaining election behaviour have also been indicated. Keywords: Zaolzie, Czech Republic, Polish national minority, elections, politics Rezumat. Atitudinile electorale în rândul minorității poloneze din Regiunea Zaolzie a Republicii Cehe (1990-2018). Articolul analizează problema activității electorale a locuitorilor polonezi din regiunea Zaolzie (Republica Cehă) în perioada 1990-2018, refe- rindu-se la alegerile naționale (Camera inferioară a Parlamentului, Senatul, președintele Re- publicii Cehe), precum și la alegerile regionale și locale. Secțiunea teoretică prezintă minorită- țile naționale și etnice ca actori politici (colectivi). Partea empirică oferă o analiză aprofundată a voturilor la anumite alegeri, luând în considerare comunele cu o pondere semnificativă de locuitori polonezi, precum și acele comune unde etnicii polonezi sunt puțini la număr.

  • Silesian: from Gwara to Language After 19891 Dr Habil Tomasz
    Silesian: From Gwara to Language After 19891 Dr Habil Tomasz Kamusella Reader in Modern History University of St Andrews Scotland, Britain Abstract In the past Silesian was seen to be a dialect of the Polish language (and sometimes of Czech). During the 1990s, following the fall of communism and the establishment of democracy in Poland, most Silesian-speakers decided to treat Silesian as a language in its own right. It became part and parcel of their effort to shed the status of second-class citizens that had been imposed on them in interwar and communist Poland. Warsaw has not recognized this language yet but, despite suffering this (quite humiliating) disadvantage, Silesian-speakers have produced a growing number of articles, books, websites, or radio and television programs in their language, winning a recognition for Silesian as a language abroad and among scholars. It appears that the Polish administration’s rigid stance toward the Silesians and their language is dictated by the logic of ethnolinguistic nationalism, which equates the legitimacy and stability of the nation-state with the full ethnolinguistic homogeneity of its population. This article sketches the trajectory of the main events and probes into the state of the discourse on the issue of Silesian language and culture during the quarter of a century after the fall of communism in 1989. Keywords: democracy, Einzelsprache, ethnolinguistic nationalism, Germany, language corpus planning, language status planning, multilingualism, Poland, Silesian language, Upper Silesia Na pamiōntka Roztomiłych Ylternōw, Mutry Anny a Fatra Stephana [N]aród to nie jest sprawa doczesna, tylko ideologia!

  • Understanding Language Death in Czech,Moravian
    x Research in Language 2007, vol. 5 x DOI: 10.2478/v10015-007-0006-2 Kevin Hannan Understanding Language Death in Czech-Moravian Texas Kevin Hannan*1 University of Đo´dz´ UNDERSTANDING LANGUAGE DEATH IN CZECH-MORAVIAN TEXAS1 Abstract: Based on several decades of personal interaction with Texas speakers of Czech, the author’s article attempts to correlate social change with some specific stages of language obsolescence and language death. Many instances of language change in that community, as well as cultural and social change, may be explained by the linguistic model known as the wave theory. One hundred and fifty years passed between the introduction of Czech and the death of that language in Texas. From the mid-nineteenth through the mid-twentieth century, the Czech-Moravians represented a closed community in which individuals defined their identity primarily by the Czech language, ethnicity, and culture. In the final five decades of the twentieth century, as the social template representing Texas speakers of Czech disintegrated, spoken Czech ceased to function as a living language, and much of the ancestral culture connected with the language was lost. Today some among the elderly, described as semi-speakers, terminal speakers, or ‘‘rememberers’’ of language, retain a limited knowledge, but the ancestral language now has only a symbolic function. Keywords: language change, language death, language obsolescence, sociolinguistics, Czech. 1. Introduction Despite the intense and systematic study of language change since the nineteenth century, the ‘‘logic’’ of language change remains poorly understood. Even in comparing certain languages which have similar structures, the results of language change experienced in one linguistic community often differ radically from the reflexes observed in another.

  • Ksiądz Franciszek Blachnicki – Prekursor Teologii Kerygmatycznej W Polsce
    ROCZNIKI TEOLOGICZNE Tom LXVII, zeszyt 6 – 2020 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18290/rt.20676-3 KS. BOGDAN BIELA KSIĄDZ FRANCISZEK BLACHNICKI – PREKURSOR TEOLOGII KERYGMATYCZNEJ W POLSCE FATHER FRANCISZEK BLACHNICKI – A FORERUNNER OF KERYGMATIC THEOLOGY IN POLAND A b s t r a c t. Pope Francis said, “Theology after Veritatis Gaudium is a kerygmatic theology, a the- ology of discernment, of mercy and of welcoming, in dialogue with society, cultures and religions for the construction of the peaceful coexistence of individuals and peoples” (21.06.2019). In this context, a forerunner of kerygmatic theology in Poland, Father Franciszek Blachnicki (1921-1987), seems to be a person to focus on. As a theoretician, he came up with foundations of fundamental catechesis, in which he emphasised the fact that contemporary forms of catechumenate do not fit the requirements of the contemporary times. Blachnicki knew that the central pastoral issue of the Church is loss of the environment of living faith and love that may welcome new generations of Christians. The existing system of catechesis for children and youth is understood as a school subject to be taught purely on an intellectual level is not able to meet the tasks of catechumenate, since it is not an educational system that introduces Christian life in the community of the Church. In view of the above, Blachnicki was convinced that an additional catechumenate for the baptised was necessary – both for adults, youth and children. This complementary catechumenate should use the guidelines offered by the post-conciliar teaching of the Church, especially the one offered in the document on Christian initiation of adults.

F. Blachnicki was born 24th March 1921 in Rybnik, Poland into a large family. His secondary school years were spent in Tarnowskie Góry, where he matriculated in 1938. Whilst there he was very active in the scouting movement. At the beginning of the Second World War, he took part the September Campaign. After capitula- tion he joined the underground resistance movement. Following his arrest by the Gestapo in March 1940 he was sent to Auschwitz, where as prisoner number 1201 he remained for 14 months. Nine months of this was in the punishment brigade, which included almost a month in a punishment bunker. In March 1942 he was transferred to a prison in Katowice where, for his anti Nazi activities, he was sen- tenced to death, by beheading. After 5 months of waiting for the sentence to be car- ried out, the sentence was commuted. He spent the remainder of the war in various Nazi prisons and camps. During his time on death row, he experienced a conversion to a very personal faith in Christ, together with a decision to give his life to the serv- ice of Christ.
