OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Research is a type of procedure that consists of gathering and analysing of data from real life, whose goal is to reach new, previously unknown information. It is possible to speak about scientific and non-scientific research, i.e. on procedures of gathering and analysing of data that are based on application of scientific- research methodology and those that are carried out unsystematically and in a non-controlled way, without the application of such methods. The goal of the course: to familiarise students with concepts and characteristics of research based on scientific-research methodology and with methods that are used in the study of social phenomena. Competencies: During the course students will become capable for independent conduction of all phases of the research process – from conceptualisation of a research problem, its operationalisation, its realisation, the analysis of data and writing of a research report or a study. Students will also become capable to correctly relate theory with empirical research and they will gain the competency to read empirically oriented scientific literature.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Ethics of Responsibility in the Contemporary Context

STATUS OF COURSE/MODULE (REQUIRED/ELECTIVE):

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT A special attention will be given to ethics of E. Lévinas that, in relation to classic ethical schemes, builds ethics of responsibility for the Other (one’s neighbour). In Lévinas’s ethics the Other appears as the face, closeness, diakonia, and transcendence. The Other cannot be reduced to one faceless “es gibt” (M. Heidegger); instead, he/she is, primarily, a person with his/her dignity and responsibility. The Other develops and grows in freedom and in a dialogical I-Thou relationship, within which one cares for the other in the dynamics of communication that leads to building up in co-responsibility (M. Buber). E. Lévinas tries to overcome every violence, anxiety, death, and nothingness. While Kant’s ethics was founded on the duty, Lévinas’ ethics is founded on the principle of responsibility for the Other. In Lévinas’ ethics the Other reveals himself/herself to us not only in the way of closeness, but also in the way of language. In this way language becomes not only a means of interpersonal communication, but also a kind of self-manifestation of the Other. Through language we do not only recognise the Other as a neighbour, but also the infinite reality, that reveals itself to us in the manner of mystery. Goals: To familiarise students with contemporary scheme of ethics of responsibility that had a special impact on the ethical thought of the 20th century. Competencies: Students will be able to critically evaluate contemporary ethical concept in the context of the principle of responsibility based on the philosophy of dialogue.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Philosophical Postulates of Post-conciliar Theology

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT From the first centuries of Christianity, when the basic theological concepts were articulated, philosophy and Christian theology were inseparably connected. The contemporary age has been especially marked by directedness of philosophy and theology to each other, since there was no significant philosophical tradition in the 20th and the 21st century that has not influenced theological research. Such mutual directedness of philosophy and theology to each other has also shown itself necessary and unavoidable in the post-conciliar period in terms of theologians’ attempt to understand and interpret concrete and contemporary Christian experience as best as possible, so that this might lead to the appropriate Christian practice. Special attention will be given in this course to researching philosophical postulates of post- conciliar theologians: Edward Schillebeeckx and his hermeneutics of experience and practice, Karl Rahner, and the influence of philosophers Maurice Blondel, Joseph Maréchal, and Jacques Maritain. Goal: To familiarise students with the most significant philosophical traditions of the 20th and the 21st century that have influenced post-conciliar theological research. Competencies: On the basis of an analysis of theological schemes of post-conciliar theologians, students will be able to critically evaluate various contemporary philosophical concepts that have influenced the development of post-conciliar theology and are relevant for their further post-graduate study of theological disciplines.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Heidegger’s and Gadamer’s Hermeneutical Postulates

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Hermeneutics is a theory or art of interpretation. Heidegger interprets it in light of the original meaning of the Greek word ἑρμηνεύειν – that kind of discourse which brings news to those who are able to hear its voice. Hence, Hermes in Homer’s works, as the messenger of gods from Olympus, was a carrier and a translator, an interpreter of divine messages into a human language. Hermeneutics, therefore, wants to help with understanding of what can be understood, and to articulate that so that it might have a linguistic character, since language has a hermeneutical relationship, as Gadamer reasons: “being that can be understood is language.” In that sense, the course follows Heidegger’s and Gadamer’s understanding of the multi-layerness of language, which is, for them, primarily the being of the form of life. Forms of life can be understood as traditions, whose vitality consists in the fact that they always act, i.e. the fact that in some sense they always lose their self-intelligibility and call for explicit understanding. Such explicit understanding of the tradition is precisely the fundamental process of the hermeneutical phenomenon. Goals: To familiarise students with the basic postulates of Heidegger’s and Gadamer’s hermeneutics, which has had a special impact on the formation of the philosophical and theological thought of the 20th century. Competencies: On the basis of an analysis of the basic postulates of the hermeneutical concept, students will be able to analyse various contemporary theological schemes based on the hermeneutical phenomenon.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Existential Analysis

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT A strong impulse for the development of science and technique is the human being’s manic attempt to diminish his/her feeling of powerless exposure to the forces of nature and society by trusting in unlimited development and increase of material resources and through belief in the power of actualisation of one’s own potentials (positivism, materialism, scientism, historicism). Sometimes only in the situation of unavoidable fact of illness, suffering, limitation, and finitude the human being must face his/her own existential frailty. This course, therefore, wants to survey thoughts of analysts of the existential, such as E. Husserl, M. Scheler, N. Hartmann, M. Heidegger, K. Jaspers, M. Buber, G. Marcel, M. Merleau-Ponty, J.-P. Sartre, who reflected on the experience of existence and da sein, the feeling of ontological insecurity, despair and anxiety, inauthenticity of a way of life, concern and existential guilt, boredom and sadness, and especially boundary existential situations. The ability towards transcendence and (re-)opening oneself towards metaphysics creates the space for specifically human experience of dignity in a free and responsible choice, active acceptance of limitations set by the circumstance of life. The course is, therefore, directed towards acquisition of sensibility and understanding, a competency to apply knowledge in interdisciplinary dialogue with theology, pastoral practice and (medical) care for persons in hard existential situations and terminal illnesses.

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Goal: to familiarise students with current discussions on the relation between religion and politics, the Church and the state Competencies: an ability to critically evaluate the relation between religion and politics in principle and in terms of their boundaries and mutual directedness to each other. Contents: Considering tensions and disagreements around the answer to the question what is the role of religion or an institutionalised religious community in public discourse, especially in relation to a political community, the course will present some theoretical insights important for understanding the relation between the Church and the state in the conditions of modern liberal state. Therefore, the course starts with the relation between politics and religion from the perspective of philosophy. This is followed by the place and role of religion and organised religious community in a civil society with an emphasis on the significance and consequences (for both the state and the Church) of accepting the principle of religious freedom and private character of faith. The lack of understanding (intentional or unintentional) of these principles leads to deviations in the relation between the state and the Church.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Influences of Existential Philosophers on the Anthropological Basis of Psychotherapy

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The course presents the special merit of the Swiss psychiatrist L. Binnswanger (Bellevue clinic, Kreuzlingen), who, together with Minkowski in France, introduced phenomenological method into psychiatry, by establishing Daseinanalyse in Heidegger’s thought. The revolutionary character of his ideas for psychiatry in those days consisted in a new approach to psychological diseases to which he approached not as if they were merely deficiencies in neurological processes, but as to “diseases of a psychic person”. This is why he understood them as psychic-organic events in a degree of relating to the world that surrounds them. Through the phenomenological method a patient’s existential method is probed, and especially his/her relation to his/her own existence and da sein, without an attempt to interpret him/her reductively by staying within the domain of psychiatric constructs that perceive only psycho-somatic pathology of an ill person. Such an approach, namely, misses the human being’s suffering in all its dimensions, including his/her relation to the world in which he/she lives. This approach opened up multi-dimensional possibility for understanding aetiology of serious psychic disorders (especially an insight into psychotic states such as schizophrenia, “madness”) and, with it, exclusivity of psychiatric treatment. The change in implicit anthropology has shown a high influence on forming of existential psychotherapies (V. E. Frankl, I. D. Yalom, R. May) and anti-psychiatry (R. D. Laing, T. Szazs) and so it opened a new possibility of constructing therapeutic strategies and valid support in facing depression, anxiety, or anxiousness. The course offers a possibility of an insight into phenomenology of selected disorders, understanding of their multi- dimensional aetiology, and it encourages application in interdisciplinary dialogue of theology, pastoral practice, and counselling.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Aesthetical Thought of Rajmund Kupareo

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT One of the specific expressions of the human spirit, with which the human being tries to penetrate the reality ever more deeply and in such a way to give answers to questions that are of existential importance to him/her – is artistic creativity. Art is, therefore, according to aesthetics of Rajmund Kupare, a creative game or transfiguration through which universal human ideas are being incarnated through symbols. The value of artistic creativity for the human being consists in the fact that it suggests a possibility of a new and different order. It is a suggestion of spiritualised aesthetic or beautiful order that, because of the universal experience of constant struggle between the soul and the body, between the human being and his/her surroundings, between nature and grace, suggests harmony, which is the original longing of every one of us. Art, therefore, precisely as the beautiful order, which offers ecstasy or spiritualised pleasure (raptus) within which the possibility of existential joy is realised, leads the human being towards harmony. In this way art’s goal is to show the human being how he/she should realise himself/herself totally. Its goal is to show the human being how to be in harmony with himself/herself, with others, with nature, and with the Supreme Being. In this way, the human being realises through art his/her basic human task: to become ever more the human being – to humanise oneself – of course, in axiological and not in ontological sense. Goal: To familiarise students with basic postulates of aesthetical thought of Rajmund Kupare and, in relation to his integral aesthetics, to introduce them with significant topics and interests of philosophy of aesthetics. Competencies: In the context of an analysis of integral aesthetics of Rajmund Kupare, students will be able to critically evaluate various aesthetical models that are philosophically relevant for understanding and interpreting art. They will also be able to use knowledge in the area of philosophical aesthetics for developing their own judgement of taste, which will make them capable of a critical evaluation of works of art.

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Goal of the seminar: Familiarisation with basic postulates of the dominant scientific-technical civilisation, i.e. a philosophical reflection on technique. Competencies: the ability to critically evaluate important factors of the scientific-technical civilisation. Contents: The crisis that we are experiencing is primarily related to the question of the truth. This question leads us back to the re-evaluation of the relation towards philosophy and theology. Since the so-called practical reason dominates over speculative reason today, this necessarily raises the issue of the contribution of modern sciences and the value and possibilities of further technical and technological development of humanity. When it comes to this issue, philosophers are even today leading a hard battle with language, especially in times of the need for a more specific definition of various problems that have sprung from the Enlightenment’s idea on unlimited progress and possibilities of the development of mind. In that sense, the course questions some elements of the idea of progress, as well as the crisis of ideology of progress, which has become manifest in almost all areas of human life and in cultural-scientific domain.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Dogmatic Constitution Lumen gentium as the Magna Charta of Contemporary Ecclesiology

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Since the starting point in research of the Church is the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen gentium, it will be necessary to present reasons why this is so at the beginning. The starting point is the fact that Lumen gentium synthesises two thousand years of the history of ecclesiological development by unifying two ecclesiological models: the “sacramental” one of the 1 st millennium and the “somatic” one of the 2nd millennium. The Church is perceived as the mystery or as the sacrament (LG 1), from which its concrete historical salvation character as the people of God (LG 2) is being developed. The issue of its structure (LG 3) is understood in terms of service. According to the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen gentium, the Church is fundamentally, in its complexity, understood as a mysterious and sacramental reality, which puts the research of the Church as the universal sacrament of salvation in the centre. This provides the width for understanding renewed ecclesiological awareness, perceived through a few models. Furthermore, criteria for a possibility of understanding the Church in its relationship with other institutions and social models of organisation in the contemporary age are sought after. Goals and Competencies Students acquire the ability to perceive the Church as the universal sign and means of salvation. Students acquire the ability to critically differentiate between ecclesial structures and social institutions.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Contribution of the Dogmatic Constitution on the Divine Revelation Dei verbum to the Post-conciliar Theology of Revelation

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The starting point is the nature of the concept of revelation presented in the Dogmatic Constitution Dei verbum and its novelty in relation to magisterial pronouncements in the previous period. Three basic perspectives in understanding the contents of revelation are pointed out: revelation as epiphany, revelation as theory, and revelation as self-revelation of God. Christocentric and Trinitarian, historical-salvation character of revelation is pointed out. The issue of the relation between the Scripture-the Tradition-the Magisterium is discussed. On the basis of a systematic overview, pronouncements of the Council are discussed by posing the question whether the revelation is still “the basic concept” of Christianity. On the basis of that, theological post-conciliar reflection on the revelation is presented through a few models: the cosmological and historical- universal model (W. Pannenberg); the anthropological-existential model (R. Bultmann, K. Rahner); the onto-theological model (K. Barth, H. U. von Balthasar); the historical-eschatological model (J. Moltmann, W. Kasper). Competencies – Students acquire specific theological knowledge about the basis of Christianity and they acquire competent information on theological reflections of the 20th century. Oblici izvođenja nastave – The teaching is conducted through lectures, consultations, interactive discussions. The exam is oral and a written paper is graded. The Committee monitors the quality and determines successfulness of the conduction of teaching. Ciljevi – The primary goal of the course is to make students capable to use conciliar documents competently and to familiarise themselves with the conciliar heritage in a wider sense.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Missionary Task of the Church from the Conciliar Decree Ad gentes until Today

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The Second Vatican Council has defined the missionary nature of the Church in the Decree Ad gentes by founding it on the Trinitarian mission itself. It has also pointed out the purpose and means by which this mission should be carried out, eschatological meaning of the missionary activity, as well as the responsibility and cooperation of all members of the Church in performing the missionary activity, emphasising the importance of the testimony of life and dialogue. In the Encyclical Letter Redemptoris missio John Paul II will remind the Church of the permanent value of the missionary task and announce the “new spring of Christianity”. The missionary activity of the Church proceeds from the deep demands of the Christian faith, and its main purpose is to serve the human being by revealing the love of God to him/her, which made itself evident in Jesus Christ. Today this activity has to be performed in new secular and social circumstances, marked by globalisation, secularisation, pluralism of cultures and worldviews. Of special importance is the creative inculturation of the Gospel, as well as the care for the poor, marginal and less fortunate.

GOALS - To familiarise oneself with the main doctrinal guidelines of the missionary activity of the Church from the Second Vatican Council until today, on the basis of Church documents, theological reflections, and concrete examples; to reflect on possibilities of inculturation of the Christian faith and the Gospel in contemporary world.

COMPETENCIES – Students will have an overall insight into the missionary teachings of the ; they will be able to relate important themes of pastoral-catechetical and social significance such as the relation between the Christian faith and contemporary culture, dialogue and proclamation, Christian testimony in the plural world.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Reception and Hermeneutics of the Second Vatican Council

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT In order to understand as well as possible the importance that the Second Vatican Council has for the renewed theological thought of the second half of the 20 th century, it is of utmost importance to familiarise oneself with the way its texts should be read and understood. The course is, therefore, offering an insight into the process of genesis of these documents by pointing out the importance of conciliar debates, which offer a picture of theological currents before the Council and during the Council. From that context the main impulses in understanding further process of reception of conciliar documents and everything else that might be called the “conciliar renewal” of theology come forth. Goals The primary goal of the course is to make students capable of competent usage of conciliar documents and to get familiarised with the conciliar heritage in a wider sense.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Theology of Religions in Light of (Post) Conciliar Documents

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT By conciliar Declaration Nostra aetate on relations of the Church towards non-Christian religions, the Church has made a historical turnaround in its attitude towards other religious traditions both on dialogical and theological level. Starting from the perspective of religious pluralism that characterises our times, Christian theology of religions tries to reflect on the place and meaning that other religious traditions have in relation to Christ and God’s universal plan of salvation. The course will analyse how far the three main models of theology of religions reach can and what are their limitations: exclusivist-ecclesiocentric, inclusivist-Christocentric, and pluralistic-theocentric. It will also reflect on current theological challenges that other religions pose for Christianity, such as the concept of God’s revelation, teaching of God and the human being, interpretation of sacred texts. The course will present main determinants of Catholic theology of religions in the world in light of the (post)conciliar documents and the teachings of the Catholic Church on interreligious dialogue.

GOALS Students will get familiarised with the state of religious pluralism that characterises our times, theological challenged that it poses for Christianity, and the main determinants of Catholic theology of religions and interreligious dialogue.

COMPETENCIES Students will know how to perceive the fundamental truths of the Christian faith in their relation to teachings of other religious traditions and they will be able to recognise the specificity of Christianity in today’s religiously pluralistic world.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Philosophical Postulates of Post-conciliar Theology

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT From the first centuries of Christianity, when the basic theological concepts were articulated, philosophy and Christian theology were inseparably connected. The contemporary age has been especially marked by directedness of philosophy and theology to each other, since there was no significant philosophical tradition in the 20th and the 21st century that has not influenced theological research. Such mutual directedness of philosophy and theology to each other has also shown itself necessary and unavoidable in the post-conciliar period in terms of theologians’ attempt to understand and interpret concrete and contemporary Christian experience as best as possible, so that this might lead to the appropriate Christian practice. Special attention will be given in this course to researching philosophical postulates of post- conciliar theologians: Edward Schillebeeckx and his hermeneutics of experience and practice, Karl Rahner, and the influence of philosophers Maurice Blondel, Joseph Maréchal, and Jacques Maritain. Goal: To familiarise students with the most significant philosophical traditions of the 20th and the 21st century, which have influenced post-conciliar theological research. Competencies: On the basis of an analysis of theological schemes of post-conciliar theologians, students will be able to critically evaluate various contemporary philosophical concepts, which have influenced the development of post-conciliar theology and are relevant for their further post-graduate study of theological disciplines

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: »Person« as the Fundamental Concept of the Christian Image of God and the Human Being

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Course Description: On the one hand, the concept of “person” is considered one of the most important contributions of the Christian faith to the human thought and it is today one of the fundamental concepts of various fields whose object of research/activity is the human being. On the other hand, one can notice that the importance of this concept is being brought into question, which necessitates renewed articulation of its expressive power. The concept of “person” is especially unavoidable in dogmatic theology, because it contributed enormously to formation of the Christian personal image of God and the human being. The course demonstrates the analogical development of this concept from the Greek thought to contemporary philosophical currents, with a special emphasis on personal understanding of God and the human being and theological approaches in which the “person” has the central place. Goal of the Course: Students acquire a more profound insight into the Christian personal understanding of God and the human being, founded on the Biblical revelation and developed in the teachings of the Church and in theological reflection. Competencies: Students will be able to note and explain the importance of the Christian personal understanding of God and the human being as the starting point of pastoral and theological activity; they will also be able to independently enter into a dialogue with individualistic and a-personal understandings of the human being, as well as non-personal concepts of divinity present in other religions.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Influence of St. Augustine’s Theology on Ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT This course has been conceptualised in such a manner that it will first point out the essential parts of ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council, especially those parts in which there was a certain shift and turnaround in contemporary ecclesiology in relation to the pre-conciliar one. This requires reflection on the image of the Church as the people of God, but also an inquiry into how the Second Vatican Council understands hierarchical structure of the Church, in which way it differentiates between various offices in the Church, and how it perceives tasks of each member of the community, especially laity. A special attention has been given to the concept of community and communion, through which the essence of the Church is emphasised. After that, the course will proceed with a reflection on texts of conciliar documents, especially the Constitution Lumen gentium, coupled with an analysis of each quote from the works of St. Augustine that one can find in these documents. The goal of this course, next to an attentive reading and reflection of texts, is to discover important links with the context of Augustine’s time and with the meaning of his theology, in order to elucidate the important theological influence he had on conciliar documents. Of utmost importance in this task will be to inquire into his image of the Church as the people of God and also his understanding of the Church as a community in which there is mutual communion. In that effort, one should also not forget his conception of the Church as a visible and an invisible reality and his attempt to define the status of sinners within the Church ranks. After a theological analysis and final evaluation of read texts, candidates will be competent to note, research, and interpret the common points between St. Augustine and contemporary conciliar theology, present in the Church teaching.

DESCRIPTION OF INSTRUCTION METHODS Teaching is conducted via lectures, but students are also encouraged to participate in interactive discussions.

DESCRIPTION OF COURSE/MODULE REQUIREMENTS Students fulfil their obligations by following lectures, followed by their individual research on a particular conciliar text with the purpose of finding Augustine’s texts related to the conciliar text and to find the connection between the context of the Church in Augustine’s time and the context of the Church in the time of the Second Vatican Council. Apart from that, they will reflect on and compare the theological method utilised by the bishop of Hippo with the method utilised by the conciliar fathers, and how the former influenced the latter.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Dignity of the Human Person and Religious Freedom in Light of the Revelation

STATUS OF COURSE/MODULE (REQUIRED/ELECTIVE): Seminar

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT According to the conciliar Declaration Dignitatis humanae the right to religious freedom is based on the dignity of the human person, as we know it from the revealed word of God and from reason. In their dignity all people, because as persons they possess reason, free will, and personal responsibility, are moved by their own nature and bound by the moral obligation to search for the truth, especially the one that concerns faith and religion. Once they come into possession of the truth, they are obliged to hold onto it and to arrange their whole life according to the demands of the truth. They cannot fulfil this obligation that emanates from their nature without having psychological freedom and without being dispensed from outside pressures. Therefore, it is important to recognise religious freedom as an inalienable right of the human person, which will be respected in every just public regime. This right is of extreme importance in secularised societies that are trying ever more persistently to push religion out of the public life, but also in those countries and cultural-religious milieus that do not recognise this right.

GOALS To familiarise students with the basic principles of religious freedom, according to the teachings of the Catholic Church; to point out the complex relation of secular society towards religion, as well as examples of limiting religious freedom or religious intolerance in some countries and milieus.

COMPETENCIES Students will be able to critically present Catholic principles of religious freedom and to articulate more clearly the place and the role of religion, especially Christianity, in the contemporary secular society.

The introduction will demonstrate how testimony has been re- discovered at the Second Vatican Council as a category that includes interdisciplinary approach in determining the authenticity of faith: testimony shows itself as a fundamental anthropological act, as a hermeneutical and phenomenological act of being given, as a fundamental act of revelation, as a fundamental Christological act in a two-fold meaning of Christ’s testimony and testimony for Christ, and as an ecclesiological act of the authenticity of the Church. On the basis of guidelines and literature, students will research and deepen certain areas of the dimension of testimony.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Conciliar Affirmation of Patristic Theology

STATUS OF COURSE/MODULE (REQUIRED/ELECTIVE): Seminar

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The goal of this course is to, firstly, point out the most important themes of the documents of the Second Vatican Council in which the council fathers emphasise the theological authority of the Holy Fathers. After that, the task will be to reflect on individual texts and to discover connections with the context in which the Fathers, from whom certain statements and ideas were taken, lived. An important goal will be to point out that the Second Vatican Council has made a turn towards patristic theology, both methodologically and in terms of contents, and, in such a way, marked the return to the sources, which was one of the most important intentions of the council fathers. A goal is also for candidates to learn how to methodologically research patristic sources and to discover their importance for contemporary theology. Through this course students will become capable of reading conciliar texts in a wider theological context, which is not limited only on the contemporary moment of the Church, but also includes research of theological sources all the way to the patristic period. Apart from that, students will develop a competency to conduct a research of ancient Christian sources, and to find an appropriate place for those in their own argumentation during their reflection on conciliar themes.

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT After checking incoming competencies of students, the course will familiarise them with the main theological currents in the Christian milieu. This especially includes contextual theological currents that take into account the actualisation of the Christian faith in various milieus (European, American, African, Asian, and North American). The Second Vatican Council has opened the doors wide to the meeting and dialogue of theology with the cultural milieu in which Christian churches are present. Therefore, the main goal of the course is: to gain a basic insight into contemporary theological movements and research, and to found out what are the ways in which Christian theology tries to become closer to the contemporary human being and the world, how it responds to the contemporary human beings’ needs and searches, and in which way it wants to lead a fruitful dialogue with the contemporary world and with the human being. This will allow students/doctorandi to acquire important competencies for scientific research, creative interpretation, and formation of theological themes in the contemporary Church and in the world.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: »Person« as the Fundamental Concept of the Christian Image of God and the Human Being

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Course Description: On the one hand, the concept of “person” is considered one of the most important contributions of the Christian faith to the human thought and it is today one of the fundamental concepts of various fields whose object of research/activity is the human being. On the other hand, one can notice that the importance of this concept is being brought into question, which necessitates renewed articulation of its expressive power. The concept of “person” is especially unavoidable in dogmatic theology, because it contributed enormously to formation of the Christian personal image of God and the human being. The course demonstrates the analogical development of this concept from the Greek thought to contemporary philosophical currents, with a special emphasis on personal understanding of God and the human being and theological approaches in which the “person” has the central place. Goal of the Course: Students acquire a more profound insight into the Christian personal understanding of God and the human being, founded on the Biblical revelation and developed in the teachings of the Church and in theological reflection. Competencies: Students will be able to note and explain the importance of the Christian personal understanding of God and the human being as the starting point of pastoral and theological activity; they will also be able to independently enter into a dialogue with individualistic and a-personal understandings of the human being, as well as non-personal concepts of divinity present in other religions.

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT As a theological concept perichoresis appeared very early and although it vanished for a period of time, it was revived in postmodern times. Contemporary Trinitarian theologians are using it a great deal by building on it basic emphases of contemporary Trinitarian theology, while they also reflect on consequences and consistencies of the Trinitarian faith and the Trinitarian thought in the overall conception of reality and the relation towards the world. The course introduces students to the concept of perichoresis in all variety of its meaning, from patristic to contemporary theology, while trying at the same time to point out the reasons of its new popularity in the postmodern times, and consistencies that are opening from the Trinitarian thought and Trinitarian faith as issues of anthropological, ecclesial, and social perichoresis.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: »Mariophanies« as a Sign of the Times – Significance and Criteria of Evaluation

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT “Apparitions” of Mary belong to what theology calls “private revelations”. Their most systematic and comprehensive theological analysis is still K. Rahner’s work “Visions and Prophecies”. Many theologians find this work of K. Rahner to be a brilliant reflection that is even today the starting point for further reflection on this sign of the times. Rahner’s starting point is not abstract. He begins with European “period of turmoil” after the war, which “makes the disturbed heart to cry out” for a soothing word from above (from heaven). Rahner points out the fact that existential hardship and hardship of faith can prepare the human being for a radical openness and trust towards private visions and prophecies. Starting from that fact, Rahner points out the importance and need to pose the issue of criteria of evaluating and differentiating between “prophets, their words, and visions” in the contemporary world. The goal of this course is to allow students to gain insight into post-conciliar theology of “Mariophanies” (prophetical charismas in the contemporary world). Specific competencies: Understanding of norms and criteria of evaluating Mariophanies, as well as understanding their significance in relation to the concept of religiosity in the postmodern world.

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Already in Paul’s epistles Jesus was worshiped as divine. This worship of Jesus comes from Judaist monotheism in a very explosive manner in the time of the second Temple. In this new religious practice one comes across a new manner of monotheism that manifests itself in a particular practice of piety. The New monotheism sets foundation for the development of Christology and the Trinitarian teaching in the following centuries. The goal of this course is to observe the beginnings of this monotheism in the New Testament, i.e. what kind of relation is being established between Jesus and God. The first followers of Jesus proclaimed his elevated position and the position of the only Son of God and their Lord, while speaking of activity and will of one God. Students acquire competencies to see how the Christian teaching on Jesus and God was formulated according to the message of the Gospel in the next centuries.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Influence of St. Augustine’s Theology on Ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT This course has been conceptualised in such a manner that it will first point out the essential parts of ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council, especially those parts in which there was a certain shift and turnaround in contemporary ecclesiology in relation to the pre-conciliar one. This requires reflection on the image of the Church as the people of God, but also an inquiry into how the Second Vatican Council understands hierarchical structure of the Church, in which way it differentiates between various offices in the Church, and how it perceives tasks of each member of the community, especially laity. A special attention has been given to the concept of community and communion, through which the essence of the Church is emphasised. After that, the course will proceed with a reflection on texts of conciliar documents, especially the Constitution Lumen gentium, coupled with an analysis of each quote from the works of St. Augustine that one can find in these documents. The goal of this course, next to an attentive reading and reflection of texts, is to discover important links with the context of Augustine’s time and with the meaning of his theology, in order to elucidate the important theological influence he had on conciliar documents. Of utmost importance in this task will be to inquire into his image of the Church as the people of God and also his understanding of the Church as a community in which there is mutual communion. In that effort, one should also not forget his conception of the Church as a visible and an invisible reality and his attempt to define the status of sinners within the Church ranks. After a theological analysis and final evaluation of read texts, candidates will be competent to note, research, and interpret the common points between St. Augustine and contemporary conciliar theology, present in the Church teaching.

Apart from that, they will reflect on and compare the theological method utilised by the bishop of Hippo with the method utilised by the conciliar fathers, and how the former influenced the latter.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Contributions of Croatian Theologians to Systematic Theology

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Little (and then only fragmentary) has been written on the Croatian theological heritage. This is way even today we do not have a single systematic review of the development of Croatian theology and theological contributions of Croatian theologians in the last few centuries. This lack is also evident in the fact that basic facts of our theological history are not mentioned in foreign publications (encyclopaedias, lexicons) or, if they are, information are scarce, despite the fact that Croatian theologians often contributed significantly to the national and international development of theology and theological reflection. Therefore, the goal of this course is to inquire into and evaluate the theological contribution of Croatian theologians who have remained mostly unknown not only to the wider public but also in scientific circles. This will be done by using scientific and documented research. In this way, students-doctorandi will acquire important competencies not only for scientific research of documents, but also for creative interpretation and evaluation of the contribution of Croatian theologians to both, the theological development and renewal, and the development and strengthening of Croatian culture and science in general.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Croatian Translation of the Bible

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT One cannot say with certainty when Bible started to be translated into the living Croatian language, but some of the oldest monuments of Croatian language (from the 14th century onwards) contain precisely passages from the Bible in Gospel-books and lectionaries intended for reading to the people in churches. On the basis of Croatian Latin lectionaries and their “Croatianisation” in the 15th and the 16th century, the course will try to demonstrate their linguistic adaptation to and adjustment with the Vulgate. There were a few attempts to translate the whole Bible into Croatian. However, what is evident from the whole history of translations is the issue of the template, i.e. the original from which the Bible was translated. The goal of this seminar is to familiarise students with the history of a Biblical text, whether Hebrew or Greek one. The main problem of Croatian translators is that they are (not) aware of the critique of the text. Students’ competency is to get familiarised with these auxiliary Biblical sciences and their importance of translating the Bible.

STATUS OF COURSE/MODULE (REQUIRED/ELECTIVE): Seminar

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Seminar Description: The seminar will reflect on the theological thought of one of the most important contemporary theologians and a sharp-minded “diagnostician of the times”, Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI. Since his thought encompasses a wide area of dogmatic and fundamental theology, current themes of faith and theology will have to be detected in his many works. The goal of the seminar: Students acquire knowledge of the theological thought of J. Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, while they approach it from the perspective of contemporary issues of faith and theology. Learning outcome: Students will know how to interpret theological thought of J. Ratzinger/Benedict XVI. and how to evaluate its contribution to contemporary pastoral and theological issues. By studying theology of J. Ratzinger students will develop the ability to analyse particular theological issue and the ability to propose a perspective from which the issue can be deepened. Students will become more capable for independent oral and written presentation of results of their own research in accordance with scientific methodology. Finally, students will sharpen their ability to listen actively to other students and to get engaged constructively in discussions with their own contributions.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Introduction to Dogmatic Methodology

STATUS OF COURSE/MODULE (REQUIRED/ELECTIVE): Seminar

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Seminar Description: The complex determination of dogmatics as the centre and the main part of the whole study of theology is related to its specific theological method that includes the acknowledgement and usage of results of exegesis and Biblical theology, knowledge of patrology and patristics, medieval systems and modern theological currents, following of the Magisterium of the Church, but also inspirations that present themselves through sensus fidelium. It certainly presupposes listening of contemporary world and the human being, that/who are affected by issues of contemporary philosophy and anthropological sciences. This seminar is, therefore, conceived as a certain introduction to the complexity of dogmatic reflection and research. It will try to familiarise students with essential determinants of scientific method of dogmatic (and in general systematic) theology, with basic sources and literature, and it will offer elementary introduction to scientific research, as well as an introduction to writing a doctoral dissertation.

STATUS OF COURSE/MODULE (REQUIRED/ELECTIVE): Seminar

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The goal of this course is to, firstly, point out the most important themes of the documents of the Second Vatican Council in which the council fathers emphasise the theological authority of the Holy Fathers. After that, the task will be to reflect on individual texts and to discover connections with the context in which the Fathers, from whom certain statements and ideas were taken, lived. An important goal will be to point out that the Second Vatican Council has made a turn towards patristic theology, both methodologically and in terms of contents, and, in such a way, marked the return to the sources, which was one of the most important intentions of the council fathers. A goal is also for candidates to learn how to methodologically research patristic sources and to discover their importance for contemporary theology. Through this course students will become capable of reading conciliar texts in a wider theological context, which is not limited only on the contemporary moment of the Church, but also includes research of theological sources all the way to the patristic period. Apart from that, students will develop a competency to conduct a research of ancient Christian sources, and to find an appropriate place of those in their own argumentation during their reflection of conciliar themes.

STATUS OF COURSE/MODULE (REQUIRED/ELECTIVE): Seminar

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Manifesting the new awareness of the central importance of the Holy Spirit in the Church and in the world, texts of the Second Vatican Council are holding onto a strict Christological basis of Pneumatology. The conclusion of the Council itself shows the necessity of a new reflection on the teaching on the Holy Spirit, especially in Christology, ecclesiology, as well as in Christian existence in contemporary plural world. The mediation between God and the human being in Jesus Christ can be theologically understood only as an event “in the Holy Spirit”, which leads us to pneumatic directedness of Christology that could mediate between the uniqueness of Jesus Christ and its universal meaning. The goal of this course is to get familiarised with sources of pneumatic Christology in the New Testament writings, writings of the Church Fathers, as well as in contemporary theological post-conciliar thought. Acquired competencies: the significance of Christological grounding of Pneumatology for the discourse on and evaluation of spiritual experience and life, especially in meetings with other Christians and in dialogue with other religions.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Contemporary Development of Moral Theology and Christ-centeredness

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The post-conciliar development of moral theology is facing a lot of issues and problems in both, its method and contents. New moral-ethical challenges, especially in the area of marriage and family, sexual life and in the social area demand an appropriate approach in moral theology. In this situation theological ethicists seek refuge in philosophical-theological discourse, while hard individual moral-ethical issues are dealt with in Magisterial documents. Taking this discourse and documents into account, this course will try to sketch possible directions of further development of moral theology on the basis of current literature, with a special emphasis on Christ-centeredness. The idea of following Jesus Christ is put in the centre of moral theology. The Christ-centeredness of moral theology reminds us of the original richness of the Christian call in Jesus Christ and of the decisive importance of that call for a possible synthesis of the Christian spiritual and moral life. The goal of the course: to point out the crucial importance of the Christ-centred directedness of moral theology through an argumentative reflection on actual moral-ethical problems. Competencies: acquisition of an ability to approach more and more complex moral-ethical issues argumentatively and an ability to face different kinds of thinking.

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The first goal of this course is to situate Christian morality within the horizon of Biblical theologies. The second goal is more practical. It is not easy to use the Bible, especially when one searches for directions in order to deepen one’s own moral reflection or for elements of a response to issues or delicate moral situations. However, the Bible itself offers some methodological criteria that can make this journey easier. Since we are talking about revealed morality, this concept presupposes the following: 1. The gift of creation and its moral implications; 2. The gift of Covenant in the Old Testament and of norms for human conduct; 3. The New Covenant in Jesus Christ as the final gift of God and its moral implications; 4. From the gift to forgiveness; 5. The eschatological goal, the inspirational horizon of moral activity. From this schematic overview one can deduce important concepts such as the creation, (new) Covenant, Jesus Christ, forgiveness, eschatology. Students acquire competencies of Biblical criteria for moral reflection.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Social Teaching of the Church and Social Ethics in the Interdisciplinary Dialogue

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Newer social-economic movements in the world are less and less concerned about the human being and his/her human dignity, which represents a special challenge for Christians, Catholics, and members of all religions and for all people of good will on both theoretical and practical level. The course points out the social and ecclesial-theological context of the contemporary world and Christianity with a special emphasis on interdisciplinary reflection on these issues. The social relevancy of Catholic theology and the Church is facing a serious challenge in relation to what is happening in the contemporary world. Within theology the social teaching of the Church possesses still not sufficiently used potential in the search of interdisciplinary dialogue with both, other humanistic and social sciences (sociology, psychology, economics,…) and social ethics in ecumenical perspective (Orthodox and Protestant social ethics…). In Croatia an interdisciplinary dialogue with Islam’s social ethics could be especially relevant and useful. This is precisely the goal of the course that will use previous Croatian experiences with interdisciplinary cooperation and it will point towards new possibilities of such cooperation, especially with the Orthodox and Muslims. Competencies: students acquire an ability to argumentatively approach the interdisciplinary cooperation on various areas of social and ecclesial life, as well as ability to be more socially engaged as Christians in the Church and in society.

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The purpose of this course is to discuss theological arguments for the unity of two complementary affirmations: “There is no authentic social action without spirituality; nor is there true spirituality without consequential social action.” This postulate presupposes a shift from a dualistic to integral concept of spirituality, in which it will not be identified with some area, but seen as a reality that gives meaning to everything that makes the human being. Students will be equipped to critically evaluate and discern authentic Christian engagement and spirituality, from their surrogates and from one-sided accounts.

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The attention is given in this course to the dignity and call of the woman in the Church and society. It is a positive approach that is, on one hand, attentive to the important bases of the Christian tradition and Church Magisterium and that, on the other hand, takes into account contemporary and growing trends characterised by disturbing shifts in understanding the identity of man and woman. The goal of the course is to point out the novelty of Christian life that also has to have an effect on the way how we, as men and women, understand and live our own identity in the Church and society. The deep human and moral crisis in this day of age summons Christian women to live their authentic womanhood through clear and convincing response, original style and language. Another goal of this course is to also familiarise students with contemporary issues and trends such as anthropological deconstruction, gender theory, and marginalisation of women that happens when they are reduced to a consumerist object; the course will also pay attention (and familiarise students with) principles of responsibility and participation of women in building up of the Church and society. Competencies: in light of a mature reflection of the Catholic concept of mutuality of the woman and the man, students acquire an ability to approach the contemporary woman’s issue argumentatively, as well as an ability to reflect on the need of a true presence of the woman in ecclesial and social life.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Bioethical Challenges of Bio-cybernetics, Neuroscience, and Transhumanism

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Bioethics is a neologism that wants to incorporate and reflect on ethical challenges in areas of biomedical and biological sciences. In its focus is bios, life as it is interpreted, understood, and disposed of by contemporary positive sciences of life and care for health. Bios as the focus of bioethics is determined by concrete conditions and possibilities of its technical manipulation; the fact that conditions the establishment of one entirely new kind of technic, i.e. bio-technic that determines the object of research of the discipline of bioethics. Bioethics is, namely, a discipline that, on the basis of interdisciplinary approach on all levels, critically reflects and searches for value answers to bio-technical interventions in bios in all its manifestations and on all levels, including primarily the human life from its conception to its natural death. The phenomenology of bio-technical intervention in life has become today very complex, which necessitates familiarisation with the most important and the most challenging bio-technical areas and their main ethical challenges. In that sense, this course aims at discovering of, familiarisation with, and critical reflection on bio-technic as such, bio-cybernetics, that unique conjunction of organic and engineering, neuroscience and transhumanism. The latter, as an idea and a movement, has the goal to realise the dream of creating something “more than human” by applying genetic engineering in conjunction with cybernetics, neurosciences, and nanotechnology. In the centre of all bioethical research and reflection on contemporary bioethical challenges is, therefore, the issue of the human being, because everything revolves around him/her and in relation to him/her. Bioethics that is focused on ethical challenges of bio-technical phenomena necessarily presupposes a certain onto-anthropological paradigm that must be critically evaluated in every context and in light of Christian anthropology, which finds a value boundary of every bio- technical intervention into bios in the human being and his/her inviolable human dignity. The goal: to familiarise students with bioethical challenges of bio-cybernetics, neurosciences, and transhumanism from the theological perspective, and with ways in which they provoke the theological concept of the human being, consciousness, and conscience, soul and body, health and sickness, life and death. Competencies: to be familiarised with the discipline of bioethics and its relation towards theology; to be familiarised with basic concepts of bio-cybernetics, neuroscience, and transhumanism; to be able to recognise the nature of bioethical challenges in aforementioned areas; to know how to face bioethical challenges theologically and critically; to be familiarised with the method of interdisciplinary presentation; to know how to evaluate bioethical challenges morally-theologically.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Dignity of the Human Person at the Beginning and the End of an Individual Life

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The beginning and the end of human individual life are the most vulnerable periods of life. The way we deal with life in these periods is most conducive to manipulation. The basis of the possibility of manipulation is disagreement in conceptions of terms like “individuality” and “life”, and in their correlation. Theological and philosophical discussions in this area do not remain only on the level of theory, but necessarily spill over into the areas of politics, worldviews, religion, and Christian ethics, and they presuppose an interdisciplinary approach. The goal of this course is to get familiarised with arguments that are in the basis of the theory of inseparable connection between individuality and life both in the beginning and at the end, which then represents the basis of absolute protection of life in all its developmental phases. Acquired competencies: the ability to approach aforementioned problems argumentatively, not only on theoretical but also on practical level, as well as the ability to face other approaches. Students become active participants of discussions on aforementioned issues in social and legislative contexts.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Cultural Dynamics of the New Anthropological-ethical Paradigm

STATUS OF COURSE/MODULE (REQUIRED/ELECTIVE): Seminar

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The Second Vatican Council has clearly marked the course of cultural dynamics that have already then, and even more so now, had influence on spreading a new anthropological-ethical paradigm: “Today's spiritual agitation and the changing conditions of life are part of a broader and deeper revolution. As a result of the latter, intellectual formation is ever increasingly based on the mathematical and natural sciences and on those dealing with man himself, while in the practical order the technology which stems from these sciences takes on mounting importance. This scientific spirit has a new kind of impact on the cultural sphere and on modes of thought. Technology is now transforming the face of the earth, and is already trying to master outer space.” (GS,5). These are profound transformations that are, firstly, happening in the human being’s consciousness that then influences the ways the human being interprets and understands himself/herself, his/her relation towards society and institutions, nature and, finally, God. Profound and total social and cultural transformations “recoil upon him, upon his decisions and desires, both individual and collective, and upon his manner of thinking and acting with respect to things and to people.” (GS,4). How are they acting upon the human being? In which aspects of human life can these be already detected, and in which are they hidden and invisible, but not less real? Since any ethics presupposes a certain anthropology, it is necessary to reflect and evaluate contemporary ethical theories in their relation to presupposed anthropologies as starting points of all social and cultural transformations that already contain within themselves elements of a new anthropological-ethical paradigm. The task of this seminar is to do a critical research of all aforementioned issues of the new anthropological-ethical paradigm that, at the same time, acts as the cause and the consequence of profound and total cultural transformations. The goal: to familiarise students with contemporary radical trans-evaluations and re-definitions of the relation towards the human person as a transcendent and ethical being; to face, theologically and critically, other conceptions of the human being that are different from Christian anthropology and ethics. Competencies: to be familiarised with causes and consequences of contemporary cultural transformations; to get acquainted with challenges and problems of the new anthropological-ethical paradigm; to recognise influences on interpretation and understanding of the human being as a person; to make students capable of systematic research and critical reflection.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Protection of Environment and Peace in the International Community

STATUS OF COURSE/MODULE (REQUIRED/ELECTIVE): Seminar

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT In light of the social teaching of the Church, this course focuses on the relation between the human being and the world, with a special emphasis on the issue of basic human task to build a more humane city by finding a solution to the overall crisis of environment and overall moral obligations and responsibilities that the international community has in relation to realisation of the right to a healthy and save environment and in relation to building the true culture of peace. The issue of peace is becoming one of the key issues for the future of humanity. Post-conciliar theology, especially messages and documents of post-conciliar popes, offers many impulses for both, interdisciplinary discussion and building up of the culture of peace in progressively more and more divided world. The goal of the seminar is to reflect on these issues in their mutual connectedness on various levels. It is clear that war represents a great danger for the environment and that the longing for public peace and coexistence in justice is one of the priorities for the preservation of environment, which leads to the common good of the human civilisation. Similarly, individual and common efforts for the preservation of and respect for the environment are closely related to a responsible market economy and international economic justice. Finally, the respect for ecology of the environment demands the respect for “humane ecology in society”. Competencies: the ability to reflect argumentatively on selected issues, on theoretical and practical level, with awareness of personal responsibility for building up the peace and for care for environment in progressively more and more divided world in which we live.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Subsidiarity and the Common Good in Croatian Society

STATUS OF COURSE/MODULE (REQUIRED/ELECTIVE): Seminar

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The common good, solidarity, and subsidiarity are three fundamental principles on the basis of which the relations of individuals and society are determined. Oswald von Nell-Breuning (1890 - 1991) calls these three principles the “basic laws of society”. Looking for the inspiration in the social teaching of the Church, after the democratic changes in Croatia (1990), Croatian theologians have given their contribution to the development of the Croatian society. In a wider interdisciplinary cooperation (with philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, demographers,…) a few empirical studies have been made, led by professors from the Catholic Faculty of Theology of the University of Zagreb (starting from 1997). Out of this, in Croatian context, new opportunity for interdisciplinary cooperation, many publications have been made (journals and books) in which relations within the Croatian society have been analysed. In this seminar a special emphasis will be put on subsidiarity (which has been thoroughly analysed, as well as empirically studied in 2009) and on progressively more and more relevant theme of the bonum commune that has not been studied in Croatia at all. The goal of the seminar is to study what has been done until now (subsidiarity and solidarity) and to make a step further into practical “unstudied area” of the common good. Competencies: a competency for interdisciplinary cooperation and research is acquired on the basis on an analysis of achieved results.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Theology and Bioethics in the Interdisciplinary Dialogue

STATUS OF COURSE/MODULE (REQUIRED/ELECTIVE): Seminar

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT In its deepest nature, bioethics is interdisciplinary, because in its very name it incorporated bios and ethos, two dimensions that constitutively define the human being as a biological and a moral being. One also has to bear in mind those bioethical paradigms that do not postulate the relation between bios and ethos exclusively in relation to the human being, but instead think of the human being in a wider relation, i.e. in relation to the whole life or biosphere with the human being as a moral being. However, they would deny the human being any value superiority within the natural world of life, because it is, after all, only one more biological being among other living beings, to which nature has allowed to morally adjust to the environment. In its dialogue with bioethics theology needs to give special critical-research attention to such bio-centric paradigms of bioethics, since bioethics as a concept, a discipline, or as concrete contents, does not have one unique conceptual or epistemic definition. Since bioethics presupposes aforementioned interdisciplinarity, its meeting with theology in general and moral theology in particular needs to be carried out in the spirit of an interdisciplinary dialogue, i.e. a dialogue without which there is no bioethics as a discipline. Bioethics demands that the urgent problems and challenges caused by bio-technical interventions in organic nature and in the very biological nature of living organisms, including the human being, be reflected upon and evaluated on the basis of interdisciplinary dialogue. Through the power of such a postulate, theology is not only welcomed and called to participate, but it is also challenged and obliged to become a part of these bioethical discussions and studies, in order to search together with others and different scientific approaches so-called bioethical answers to urgent issues and challenges of bio-technical interventions in life. In this sense, theology is expected to bring into the interdisciplinary dialogue with bioethics, while respecting its own sources and methods, contributions and ideas that will cast precious and unique light on concrete issues or challenges, so that these might be reflected upon as thoroughly and completely as possible. This is, of course, an irreplaceable part of the demand for the truth, from which bioethics is certainly not excused. The goal: to get to know conditions and possibilities of interdisciplinary dialogue between theology and bioethics, to discover the importance and necessity of such a dialogue, and to present concrete areas in which such a dialogue can and should be carried out. Competencies: to get to know the discipline of bioethics; to get to know previous and current discussions on the relation between theology and bioethics; to know possibilities and boundaries of the interdisciplinary dialogue; to define a theological approach to bioethical themes and challenges; to present results of theological-bioethical research on the basis of the interdisciplinary method.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Genesis and Theology of Ecumenism

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The goal of the course is to see reasons and the need for ecumenism that would have Christological basis (as opposed to merely humanistic) and to reflect on its gradual development, from its beginnings in the Gospel until the current moment, in recent times and through nominal ecumenical bodies and institutions. As opposed to “ecumenical theology” that tries to develop one common “universally Christian” approach to theological contents, “theology of ecumenism” reflects theologically on the essence, nature, foundation, and phenomenon of ecumenism (1.) as the concrete realisation and living-out of the still preserved and never entirely lost unity, as (2.) an effort to increase that existing degree of unity. The goal of the course is to make students capable of systematic discernment of relevant ecumenical concepts, to show the correct contents of these concepts, and to gain an overview of ecumenical efforts to achieve unity throughout history. Students acquire the competency for qualified theological discourse on ecumenism in the general and specific sense.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Catholic Understanding of Unity and Communion in the Church

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Catholic principles of ecumenism are taught starting from its general, Biblical, and Christological-Trinitarian basis. The main emphases of documents of the Church Magisterium on ecumenism (such as Unitatis redintegratio, the Ordinance for Application of Principles of and Norms on Ecumenism, Ut unum sint, Orientale lumen and similar documents) are being presented. The attention is given to ecumenically relevant documents on the level of national conferences of bishops. On the issue of unity and communion, in practice the Catholics, as well as members of other churches, position themselves between two extremes: from phobia and exclusivity on one hand, to relativisation of all differences on the other, as if all issues pertaining to unity and communion are already solved and, therefore, irrelevant. The Catholic teaching is that what unites all Christians is larger than what divides them, i.e. that the basic unity between Churches already exists, but there are also damages to that unity, blows and wounds that distort the wholeness and completeness of the unity, which need to be properly healed and corrected.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Orthodox Theology and Unity of the Church

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Although it seems that in Orthodoxy the concept of ecclesial unity within the concretely realised Orthodoxy is dominating, there is a more nuanced discourse on ecclesial unity present also in Orthodox theological sources and ecclesial systems, primarily within the context of differentiation between the so-called “humanistic ecumenism” and “divine-human ecumenism”. This opens up various, to the existing state and scope of (non)ecumenism appropriate, degrees of unity with other Churches. Such an attitude is based on sources of the ancient undivided Church, which knew what the conciliar consciousness of the Church is, despite all conflicts and schisms. Precisely on this kind of study of the unity of the Church, whose goal is to give to our divided Christian world a possibility to find and realise again its unity, is Orthodox theology based. The goal is to study and articulate various approaches to and discourses on the unity and communion of the Church in Orthodox theology. Students acquire the competency and ability to compare and notice what is common and what is specific to Orthodox, Protestant, and Catholic theological approaches to the unity of the Church.

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Given the fact that the spectrum of approaches to the unity of the Church in Protestantism is quite wide – from the opinion that is has already been realised in a sufficient measure that allows communicatio in sacris and mutual Eucharistic hospitality (intercommunio), to the opinion that it has been lost already and that there is no chance it will be established again before the eschaton - explanations and arguments of particular opinions on the unity of the Church presented in Protestant theology are being studied and evaluated. The goal is to gain an overview of the existing state in relation to the degree of the unity of faith and the possibility of liturgical communion between Protestants and other Christian communities of the Reformation in the 16th century. Students acquire the competency to evaluate various Protestant theological postulates on the unity of the Church and their argumentations.

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The more important, although sometimes marginal, but precisely because of that more discussed, theological and spiritual concepts are being presented and explained. Among the Eastern theologians these would include concepts such as hesychasm, “palamism”, “elderism”, “Slavic-philism”, “sophianism”, “ideal of divination”, etc., and among the Western theologians concepts such as Medieval systems, theology of Reformation, contemporary Christological, Trinitarian, and eschatological conceptions. The more important bearers of the more significant theological systems and directions, including a critical reflection of specificities of their systems, are being presented. The goal of the course is to notice and get familiarised with various theological tendencies of the East and the West that have been – although not always the most accepted in their own traditions – because of the new and original emphases of theologians and the creativity in which one can notice inspirations of the Holy Spirit for a certain period of time, as well as their influence on further theological development, important for both, understanding of the whole Christian theology, especially its current state, and also for an easier understanding of confessional differences as the common wealth. Students acquire the ability and competency to mediate scientific insights on theological specificities of the East and the West, their historical grounding and significance for the development of Christian theology and religion.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Croatian Ecumenical-theological Heritage

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT As a systematic reflection on revelation and faith, on God-given Word and word given to God, theology carries all markers that revelation and faith have, markers of inculturation, i.e. being inculturated. This is why theology is, while remaining faithful to its own source and object, different in each period of time, in each nation, in each style. In that sense, Croatia is situated on the boundary between the East and the West; it is a meeting point of confessional ways of Catholicity, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism, while one should not forget the presence of Islam. Theologians from Croatia contributed to theology in general. Some of them were ahead of their time. Some of them were precursors of the Second Vatican Council. They were original thinkers and actors in the conversation with their time and their space. All of them, as a rule, suffered. Given praise too late. Croatian theologians of all times, those who lived in the country and those who were abroad, marked the Croatian ecumenical-theological heritage. In the course “The Croatian Ecumenical-theological Heritage, the following selected institutional and non-institutional theologians from the 15th until the 21st century are being presented and analysed: Ivan Stojković, Marko Antun De Dominis, Benedikt Vinković, Juraj Križanić, Ivan Paštrić, Krsto Pejkić, Juraj Mulih, Franjo Ksaver Pejačević, Anton Franki, Josip Juraj Strossmayer, Tomislav J.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Rituality and Sacramentality in Croatian Society

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT In Croatian society, next to the trend of religiosity that exists for centuries, in the last few decades there are progressive trends of modernisation and individualisation that affect the human being’s understanding of and living life, especially when it comes to those persons who acknowledge themselves as believers. Just like the contemporary European person the Croatian person is also still oriented ritually to a significant extent, but how much is he/she sacramentally oriented in the sense that he/she understands and practice sacraments as loci of salvation meeting with God is becoming all the more an open issue. For instance, when it comes to the ritual of passing, i.e. the ritual triplet (baptism, wedding in a church, and church funeral) one can notice a certain discrepancy between the way the Church understands the ritual matrix and the way it is understood by all the more secularised human being, including members of the Church. In that context the crisis of pastoral of sacraments is but one more sign that there is a divide between the Gospel and culture happening also in Croatia and that it is turning into the drama of the times in which we live. Such gradual and “on distance” ecclesiality are present realities in Croatian society and in Croatian Church that need to be seriously taken into consideration in theological theory and in Church practice.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Pastoral Monitoring of Ill Persons

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Ill persons are members of a parish community and pastoral monitoring of ill persons is necessary in parish communities. This course tries to familiarise students with palliative care that emphasises the care for life, while it perceives dying as a normal process. The palliative care is provided by groups of physicians, nurses, physical therapists, social workers, priests and volunteers. Psychological and spiritual forms of care are put together and families are being helped in their care for ill persons and in their grief. As such, the palliative care has its place in the life of a parish community. Next to the medical care, the testimony of faith of persons who are working together to provide palliative care is of help to persons struck by an illness in multiple ways, so that they might hold it together in life crises and so that they might not lose faith because of the situation in which they found themselves. Students acquire basic insights on palliative care in general and on its application in a parish community.

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT In relation to the person of catechesis teacher, the course analyses a few unavoidable perspectives of forming spiritual-professional identity of the catechesis teacher that have their Biblical foundation and enrichment. The Bible is the source of an overview of historically realised experiences of believers, basic religious contents, as well as guidelines in terms of method of procedure when it comes to self-education and education of others in faith: to respect life experience as an unavoidable factor in faith, to learn the culture of words and to lean more on the testimony and good example than on catechesis itself. In relation to contents of catechesis, the course analyses some paradigmatic Biblical characters in which every human being, no matter when, where, and in which circumstances he/she lives, can search for and find a model of integral human realisation, which is imbued with divine reality and inseparable from it, since the incarnation of the Son of God.

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The course offers an analysis of contemporary interconnectedness of liturgical science with other disciplines, primarily in the field of theology (with fundamental theology, dogmatics, pastoral theology), but also in the field of anthropology and philosophy, as well as in the field of art. A part of this interconnectedness is the relation between liturgics and symbolic communication (sacraments as communicational and communal acts). The course analyses the development of liturgical thought from the beginning of the liturgical movement (beginning of the 20th century) and its dialogue with other sciences. As a possibility, an analysis of the relation between liturgy and history (the organic development of liturgy through historical and cultural shifts) is offered. The goal of the course is to realise pervading reality of liturgy in the life of the Church.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Church between the ‘City of God’ and the ‘City of Man’

STATUS OF COURSE/MODULE (REQUIRED/ELECTIVE):

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The goal of this course is to point out, in broad strokes, the development of the relation between the Church and the state from the late Antiquity until modern times. In that sense, it is important to situate the topic geographically in the area of the Roman Empire and later western civilisation, which is our primary object of interest, also because it was precisely in this area that the relations between the Church and the State experienced a more profound evolution, as opposed to Christianity that was under the influence of Byzantium. Therefore, the topic can be sketched in the following way in a few periods. From its very beginning, the Church as a community in which the Kingdom of God is realised on earth has stood in opposition to the ‘city of man’, which also means that it was without rights and persecuted, although it recognised the legitimacy of all state institutions. It stood in opposition to the state, but not because it wanted to deny the legitimacy of a human society and social structures as such, but because this society did not accept spiritual novelties and values that Christianity introduced to human social relations. With Constantine the Church gained its freedom and began its activity in new circumstances as an accepted and supported community that now found itself between its authentic task, given to it by God, to form the ‘city of God’ on earth or to fall under the influence of the ‘city of man’ and to serve only its earthly goals. The Church will remain in such discrepancy, as a bearer of a spiritual mission, but also as a community that lives on earth, often tied by earthly ties, relations and interests that do not go well with its spiritual mission that it had to perform. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, in the coming centuries, the Church’s role in forming earthly society has increased, which led to the Medieval ideal and an attempt to create the ‘city of God’ on earth in a visible social form that would eventually lead to the identification of the two cities. The modern period will, however, be marked by the separation of the state and all its institutions from the influence of the Church, often followed by tensions and intense opposition between the ‘city of man’ and the ‘city of God’. These conflicts were especially evident in the time when modern national states were emerging during the 19th century and the consequence of a whole set of social and political changes was that the Church assumed various roles in individual European countries.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Church and Forming of Identity

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The concept of identity is multifaceted and extremely complex. It is to a great extent dependent on an individual. It is never completely finished, but instead it develops continuously. In the contemporary world each stable identity is questioned constantly. Throughout its history the Church has also passed through various phases of development of its own identity, and through faith that it proclaims, institutions it developed, and cultural, scientific, and educational institutions it has largely formed personal, group, national, and religious identity of many individuals and nations. Christianity is one of the identity markers of many nations, so one could claim that they would not exist in such a form were it not for the Church. It was often a bearer of the feeling of unity, belonging, and continuity, while it often also guarded markers of sovereignty. However, the ideal identity does not exist, and the one that exists is far more complex and less homogenous. Therefore, this course will face many mythologems and, through a historical-critical approach, understand many mythological ideas on which identities of individuals, nations, and the whole Church are often built.

Familiarisation with basic concepts of archivistics and archive theory and practice. Acquisition of systematic information and insights into availability, quantity, and kinds of archive material relevant for study of cultural and artistic heritage that is being preserved in Croatian and foreign historical archives. General knowledge of the history, social role, and development of archive, i.e. emergence, gathering, and preserving written documents and archive material; mastering archive terminology and acquiring specific knowledge on how one should approach archive material and manners in which it is used in historical, i.e. scientific research. Through theoretical teaching students will get familiarised with basic characteristics of pilgrimage on the European Christian soil, with a special review of pilgrimages from Croatian area from the Middle Ages until contemporary times, with an emphasis on the period of the Middle and the Early Modern Age. Pilgrims as those who spread and promoted characteristics of their home countries (local cultures, customs, traditions) will be reflected upon. By studying pilgrimages in Croatian and European area one acquires knowledge on one of the most important constituents of life of faith in previous centuries. Through an insight into literature and concrete source material, students are getting familiarised with the way source archive material is being used for interdisciplinary purposes, as well as with ways of its usage in those cases when one wishes to study a concrete set topic. Apostolic visitations and bishops’ visitations will be studied in general and in their role as promoters of post- Tridentine Catholic renewal; writings of apostolic visitations published on the soil of the Republic of ; writings of the three apostolic visitations published in dioceses of the part of Dalmatia that was occupied by the Republic of Venice; writings of apostolic visitations of dioceses in Istria, apostolic visitors Augustin Valier, Michele Priuli, and Ottaviano Garzador, and their travels through Dalmatia.

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT: Chronologically, monasticism among Croatians is in congruence with the creation of the national state and it has immeasurable merits for the development of national education and culture, spiritual and material, literacy and science. In the early Medieval Age (9th – 12th century) there are monks of St Benedict (Benedictines, Cistercians) in the Croatian region, in the developed Medieval Age (13th – 15th century) orders with emphasised activity emerged (Dominicans, Franciscans, Augustinians, Paulines), while during the period of Humanism and religious turmoil orders set on post-Tridentine Catholic restoration (Jesuits, Capuchins, etc.) emerged. Students acquire competent knowledge on the contribution of Croatian monasticism to national education and cultural heritage, especially in the area of literacy and literature. First parchments, scriptoriums, workshops for illuminating manuscripts and production of codes (books) were created within monasteries’ walls. The same goes for education (study of ‘liberal arts’, law and theology). The first ‘general studies’ (university) is the work of monastic communities (1495 – Dominicans in Zadar; 1669 – Jesuits in Zagreb; 1673 – Paulines in Lepoglava).

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Serious scientific engagement with contemporary theology has to take into account its historical development and theological heritage of the past. Together with familiarisation with cultural- anthropological issues of one’s times, knowledge of the history of Christianity, and the development of its theology, these are an important source and an unavoidable basis for a relevant contemporary discussion. This course will, therefore, try to offer an overview of the historical development of Christian theology, while pointing out, primarily, key historical periods, their fundamental determinants and aspects, and the most important theological schools and leading theologians. The course will particularly focus on the Patristic Period, Medieval theology, the Period of Reformation and post-Reformation; it will also try to give basic directives of and insights into the modern (contemporary) theology.

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The course will introduce students to the Latin alphabet of the Croatian Medieval times on the basis of selected texts from codes written in Beneventan, Carolingian, Gothic, and Humanistic minuscule, as well as with the general and special system of abbreviations. Before getting into the Croatian manuscript heritage, the course will familiarise students with basic theoretical knowledge on the developmental phases of each of the aforementioned forms of Latin alphabet, illuminations, and other elements useful for dating and provenience of these. Through theoretical knowledge and practical exercises, students acquire the competency to communicate with original medieval texts: they will know how to transcribe them, to discover their place and time of origin, to use them as historical material in their scientific-research work. General and papal diplomacy includes the structure of documents, public and private, with a special emphasis on diplomatic critique (forgeries), structure, and function of offices (papal, imperial, Croatian royal office, loca credibilia, etc.). Students acquire competent knowledge of art of diplomacy that will allow them to orient themselves in medieval historical-legal writings and their significance for the European and Croatian history. Through theoretical presentation and practical exercises students will get familiarised with medieval ways of calculating time (eras and styles), Julian and Gregorian calendar reforms and the most basic chronological elements necessary for the usage of medieval legal-historical documents. By familiarising oneself with medieval ways of dating documents students will become capable for independent usage of historical material and correct mediation of medieval chronological elements into the modern dating (Sunday letter, days in a week, indications, etc.).

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT: The course offers familiarisation with the history of this most important archive institution of the Catholic Church from its emergence in the 4th century (called scrinium) until the emergence of the modern secret archive during the pontificate of pope Paul V (1611) and the historical decision of pope Leo XIII to open the doors of the archive to researchers so that they might have access to this rich fond in which one can find material for social, economic, and legal history of all Christian countries. The course will especially reflect on material which is important for Croatian history. Through theoretical and practical exercises on concrete examples, students will acquire competencies needed for finding their way through the labyrinth of one large world archive.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: The Relationship between the Church Teaching and the Church Institutions

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT The course aims at showing the relationship between the Church teaching and the institution of the Church as such, as well as the relationship between the Church teaching and institution that carries and forms it and the worldly institution of empire, i.e. the state. This will be done on the basis of two examples, one from the 4th and one from the 9th century. The issue through which these relationships will be observed is the key theological issue of “homousios” – the same nature of the Father and the Son that was discussed in the 4th century, defined at the Council of Nicaea in 325, accepted by the council fathers, and carried out in the Church and in the Roman Empire through help (despite help?) of the imperial government. In the second case the relationship between the Church teaching and the institution of the Church, but also the state, will be analysed in its development, formation, and expression of the papal infallibility in the second half of the 19th century, during the time when papal secular power was decreased and the teaching on the papal infallibility, and the relationship between the Church and the secular state, were clearly defined within the Catholic Church. In this second part Croatian journalism and how it covered conciliar events will also be analysed.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Hagiography between History and Theology

STATUS OF COURSE/MODULE (REQUIRED/ELECTIVE): Seminar

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT By outlining the history of a saint, hagiographic texts try to, primarily, point out God’s activity in the life of a person they are discussing. In the Medieval times such an approach was not an exclusive characteristic of hagiography; following the example of the Bible, the whole history was at that time seen as the place of manifestation of God’s revelation. Historiography is different than theology of history. However, a person engaged in hagiography does not deny human history, but interprets it in a different language than it would be used in contemporary historiography: historia sacra and historia profana. The goal of the hagiographic author was not to compose a biography, but a hagiographic work. Therefore, a hagiographic author uses the Biblical inter-textuality and the inter-textuality of genres extensively. Characteristics of hagiology as a scientific discipline will be defined; the concept of holiness; liturgical and narrative sources of hagiography; history of genesis of texts and redaction methods, as well as forms of development and influences of several kinds of hagiographic typologies. A hagiographic text is a totality of graphic and prophetic signs, but its purpose and goal are of a historical and meta-historical nature. Models of life of saints that constitute emblematic texts will be analysed. A tendency for parables, a way that a hagiographic exemplum traverses, and the significance of miraculum will be detected. On the basis of a body of texts on the life of St Francis, the process of their genesis and which hagiographic issues forming of these texts opens will be analysed; how to read and analyse that dossier of texts in relation to the life of a saint and in relation to the history of the order. In the case of St Francis, historical events condition the formation of texts, because authors have been interested to find answers to the question concerning the present and the future of development of their monastic community.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Controversies in the Church History

STATUS OF COURSE/MODULE (REQUIRED/ELECTIVE): Seminar

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT Considering two thousand years of its existence, it is not a surprise to realise that the history of the Church has been marked by some controversies. Often these controversies are linked to deficiencies in taking a scientific approach to a certain problem, lack of knowledge on an issue, lack of understanding of the spirit of times, and, even more often, a presentation of issues in an ideological way. Through the development of contemporary historiography many controversial issues found throughout Church history have been approached in a scientific manner, although they were often presented to the public and scientists themselves in terms of some ideological or non-critical approach. The goal of this course is to analyse some of these controversial issues from the history of the Church, for which scientific community still has a lot of interest and which are often not adequately analysed and presented. Primarily, the course will analyse current issues, which will be situated in their historical context, related to the spirit of the times and presented through the scientific-critical method. Among those current issues, one should point out the issues of inquisition and myths that have generated around this issue during the last few centuries; the issue of crusades and their perception in the history and today that both need to be brought into convergence with scientifically proven historical facts. This will be followed by some controversial issues from the history of the Reformation, history of certain popes, especially the pope Pious XII. Furthermore, the issue of Bosnian Christians deserves to be analysed, but also the current issue of the relation between the Church and science, with a special emphasis on the Galileo case. Apart from these, other topics that are still called controversial for one reason or the other, might also be discussed.

TITLE OF COURSE/MODULE: Croatian Three Languages and Three Alphabets

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN COURSE/MODULE: Croatian

NUMBER OF INSTRUCTION HOURS: 8

OUTLINE OF COURSE/MODULE CONTENT A specificity of Croatian medieval culture in relation to neighbouring regions and Europe in general are its three languages and three alphabets. This presupposes proficiency in three languages: Croatian, Medieval Latin, and Old-Slavic/Church-Slavic, and the usage of three alphabets: Latin, Glagolitic, and Cyrillic in the Croatian social and political region. New linguistic studies recognise two idioms within the Old- Slavic/Church-Slavic language: Croatian-Old-Slavic as a mildly “Croatianised” Old-Slavic language and Croatian-Old-Slavic as a mixed language composed of Old-Slavic and Old-Croatian elements. This does not exclude the usage of other alphabets and languages in our regions, although these other are not as significant or as important to diminish the significance of what has been said earlier. Three languages and three alphabets are an essential and unique characteristic of the Croatian Medieval identity. Of utmost importance in the process of its emergence and development was Christianity that – as well as in the rest of Europe – created conditions for connecting the Western and the Eastern culture of the European Medieval age. Of key importance in this process in Western Europe and in Croatia, i.e. in the spread of Latin language and alphabet and then (or at the same time) Glagolitic, and a bit later, Cyrillic, and finally Latin literacy in Croatian language, Croatian culture and literature in early period were Benedictines. A special mark on Glagolitic and Cyrillic literacy was made by Glagolitic priests and, later on, by Franciscans of the Third Order (Glagolitic). The seminar pays special attention to specialised topics, issues, and problems in Croatian three languages and three alphabets (beginnings of Latin in early medieval Croatia, Latin alphabet as the first alphabet among Croatians, genesis of Glagolitic alphabet, emergence of Cyrillic alphabet in the 12th century, Croatian language in Latin alphabet: first signs, etc.)
