  • Dignity М Freedom М Human Rights
    Differences in the understanding of human dignity are born from the rejection by EU legislation of the religious element and DIGNITY – FREEDOM the laws of nature, which for Christians are essential sources of human dignity, freedom and human rights. The EU developed – HUMAN RIGHTS them mostly from the state endowment, and relative stability is not attributed to them. In reading the convergences and divergences in the understanding of these three fundamental The Role of the Catholic Church concepts of human dignity, freedom and human rights, a particular difficulty in dialogue with the EU comes from the in the European Integration Process language which we use to express our views. The terms dignity, freedom and human rights mean something completely different This publication contains the transcripts in both the Christian and Union contexts. This discrepancy arose from speeches and discussions during the conference because Christianity derives dignity, freedom and human rights in Krakow on 25-26 September 2015 from the truth, and this is the revealed truth, while the EU has adopted the principle of freedom as its source.

  • The Ethical Dimension of Politics
    […] The eleventh Krakow conference, held in September 2011 The Ethical Dimension of Politics in Tomaszowice, near Krakow, concerned a topic that is difficult and has been annually postponed – that of the ethical dimension of politics. Its aim was to draw a conclusion based on thoughts from the previous conference, during which the contribution The Role of the Catholic Church of Christians in the process of European integration was discussed. This time it was a matter of defining what role Christian politicians in the European Integration Process have to fulfil in this process, especially those who as part of its structure and decision-making bodies bear responsibility for its shape, which includes its ethical shape. This is not a simple task because it is in a way an account This publication contains the transcripts of conscience for these politicians, who often face ethical dilem- from speeches and discussions during the conference mas, and who establish the guidelines for many aspects of the lives in Krakow on 9-10 September 2011 of European citizens, who profess different faiths and worldviews; people who invoke their conscience, which is shaped by principles that are often at odds with those recognised by others.

  • The Teaching of Cardinal Primate Stefan Wyszyński (Summary)
    The Teaching of Cardinal Primate Stefan Wyszyński (summary) Primate Wyszyński taught that God loves everyone and therefore every human being is endowed with immense dignity. Wyszyński spoke of holiness in everyday life, in the family, at work, and in relationships with loved ones. He also drew attention to the importance of communities, such as the Church and the nation. He was a forward-thinking man, committed to a religious and moral rebirth of society, which was achieved through his pastoral programmes included in the Jasna Góra Vows, the Great Novena and the Millennium celebrations of the Baptism of Poland. He chose the Mother of God as his model, to whom he entrusted himself entirely. Cardinal Wyszyński's texts and sermons often surprise us with their simplicity and accessible language, vivid examples and a sense of humour. Beloved Children of God "I am neither a politician nor a diplomat. I am neither an activist nor a reformer. But I am your spiritual father, your shepherd and bishop of your souls; I am an apostle of Jesus Christ", wrote Primate Wyszyński in a letter to the faithful of the Gniezno and Warsaw Archdiocese on the occasion of his installation as bishop in 1949. Proclaiming the Gospel and bringing the good news of God's love to every human being was the cornerstone of his ministry. “Beloved Children of God!” was the signature opening phrase of his sermons. As Anna Rastawicka, one of the closest collaborators of Cardinal Wyszyński, emphasises, he tried to see every person as a beloved child of God. That was the source of his deep conviction about the great dignity of every person, irrespective of their background, views or moral standing.

It is worth recalling the circumstances accompanying this event to understand better its momentousness. fot. Arturo Mari, „L’Osservatore Romano” 2001 The Person and the Challenges 298 Volume 9 (2019) Number 1, p. 297–308 Context and determinants The Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw was established by the Act of 3 September 1999 (Journal of Laws No. 79, item 884) on the basis of the Warsaw Theological Academy (ATK), being a state and Catholic school of higher education, operating from 1954 to 19991, made up from the Theological Faculties of Warsaw University2and the Jagiellonian University.3 As the Warsaw Theological Academy was set up by a one-sided decision of the government authorities of the time, there were doubts as to its canoni- cal nature. However, they were gradually overcome. With the decision of the Congregation for Seminaries and Institutes of Study of April 1958, the ecclesi- astical authority over Warsaw Theological Academy was granted to the Primate of Poland4, however its canonical nature was still not regulated.

  • The TENTH ANNIVERSARY of Receiving the Status of a University
    „Analecta Cracoviensia” 51 (2019), s. 363–447 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15633/acr.3648 The TENTH ANNIVERSARY of Receiving the Status of a University. The 622nd academic year at the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow In the 2018–2019 academic year, we celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow, which previously functioned under the name of the Pontifical Academy of Theology in Krakow. Due to the decision of Pope Benedict XVI, the Congregation for Catholic Education issued a decree on June 19, 2009, that ele- vated our university to the rank of a pontifical university. The decree was signed by its then-prefect, Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski, and it states: “Responding positively to the requests of the most distinguished Cardinal Stanisław Dziwisz, Metropolitan Archbishop of Krakow and the Great Chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Theology in Krakow and honoring the memory of his magnificent predecessor, Servant of God Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI has decided (decrevit) to elevate (promovere) the Pontifical Academy of Theology to the status of the Pontifical University of John Paul II for the de- velopment of ecclesiastical studies, deciding that its organization would fully and faith- fully correspond to Church norms, above all the Apostolic Constitution Sapientia Chris- tiana and the Ordinances attached to it, granting it rights and duties that in accordance with canonical legislation pertain to legally erected Church universities, while respect- ing other legal principles that should be followed regardless of any contrary decrees.”1 Pursuant to this decision, our university remained an ecclesiastical university, and its aim is to “develop ecclesiastical studies” (ad disciplinas ecclesiasticas colendas, see: Code of Canon Law, 1983, Canon 815), which include theological studies, canon law, and Church history.

  • Catholicism and the Jews in Post-Communist Poland
    Catholicism and the Jews in Post-Communist Poland Joanna Michlic richard stockton college of new jersey Antony Polonsky brandeis university Roman Catholicism has long been a central element of Polish national identity. This phenomenon is deeply rooted in the Polish historical experience and is closely linked with the country’s collective identity. As a result, in Polish Catholicism, national ideals have become intertwined with Christian values and national identity has often taken precedence over universal principles. This has led to the widespread identification of Polishness with Catholicism, as summed up in the phrase Polak katolik. The dominant model of religiosity has been conservative, traditional, and “folkish,” with relatively little stress on the spiritual and intellectual development of faith.1 In the eyes of its leaders, Polish Catholicism was the most effective bulwark of Polishness against both the 19th-century partitioning powers and the 20th-century totalitarian forces of Nazism and Soviet Communism. Political groups such as the National Democrats (Endecja), the principal expo- nents in Poland of ethno-nationalism and antisemitism, attempted from the end of the 19th century to exploit the identification of Polishness with Catholicism. How- ever, in interwar Poland, political Catholicism was unable to attain a hegemonic position in political life. Especially after the seizure of power in May 1926 by the charismatic military hero Jo´zef Piłsudski, political forces advancing a Catholic agenda, whether of a Christian Democratic or of a National Democratic character, were marginalized. The relations between the Church and the authorities were correct but hardly cordial, and a significant portion of the Episcopate, or Church hierarchy—though not the primate, Cardinal August Hlond (appointed in June 1926)—retained its sympathy for the National Democrats.
