Santiago) can lead to spiritual benefits, but there is some disagreement about this because these benefits can be associated with the pilgrim's motivation. This article presents a conceptual framework for understanding the phenomenon of pilgrimages to Compostela and their impact on human spiritual well-being. Many diaries mention various positive psychological effects from these trips, but they are presented in religious/spiritual dialectical tension. The article presents the classical concept of spirituality as related to the ability to transcend, and then classifies what is spiritual in the writings of some Polish pilgrims. In this way, conceptual precision will be offered, which is important for understanding the positive impact of pilgrimages on well-being and empowerment.

During the Middle Ages, it was often urban dwellers who embarked on these pilgrimages. En route to Compostela, they found support in the cities they passed through, receiving hospital care and accommodations, and participating in city life, particularly during feasts. However, they also faced challenges such as dishonesty, exploitation, and temptation. Additionally, they encountered a distinct urban piety associated with brotherhoods and religious formations, which influenced their approach to pilgrimage. This paper will examine the life of medieval cities and their devotional practices, as well as the material evidence of pilgrim presence, such as badges, to explore how this urban experience shaped the mentality of pilgrims. Furthermore, it will investigate the role of cities in the development of the pilgrimage movement to Compostela, with a focus on Toruń and Gdańsk

This article proposes to relate this discussion of the first and secondary causes to the question of original justice, that is, the existence of the world before original sin. After describing the theological challenges associated with the image of a merciful God in the context of natural selection, we will discuss the usefulness of this dual causality model in perspective of theories of modern Biology.

This apprehension stems from many theological convictions, the most important one being the warning against instrumentalization of religion and faith that appeared in the debate on the relationship between nature and grace. This paper discusses the different meanings of well-being in the history of theology, beginning with the scholastic concept of rectitude and the emphasis on happiness as an end of moral action. In this light, the contemporary challenges are presented in the context of the debates around human enhancement. Finally, in the context of public theology, suggestions are made with regard to the discourse on the role of religion in community and individual life, which focuses on revealing the power of grace and the logic of the anticipation of the happiness that will fully reveal itself in eschatological fulfillment.

However, in a changing cultural and educational climate the relevance of faith-based education in public schools is more often undermined in the name of neutrality and inclusivity. The main goal of the paper is to present current challenges for religious education for children offered in Polish public schools, and try to find answers to the fundamental question of how the right to religious education can be protected and promoted in the public education system. Thus, in the first part of the paper the authors present a brief legal framework of a confessional model of religious education adopted in Polish public schools, understood as the expression of religious freedom which plays an important role in managing the religious needs of students. The authors analyze the legal provisions that regulate faithbased education seen from three different perspectives — the child’s, parental and teachers’ rights. This legal background serves to delineate, in the second part, current conflicts over the presence of religious practices, symbols and references in public schools that are now perceived as a common battleground of ideological wars.With religion being increasingly privatized and public spaces largely emptied of religious references in many Western European countries, the authors emphasize a unique and enriching role of faith-based education present in Polish public schools that should not be considered a threat, but an opportunity to maintain religious and cultural diversity in modern societies. At the same time they discern an urgent need to find a reliable compass to direct both state and church actors along the way of peaceful cooperation and integrity in the public education system that cannot be stripped of religion.

In this paper, we first analyze his lexicon in this regard (imaginatio and phantasia). Second, we discuss imagination as the subject matter of the intellectual virtues, which facilitate cognition and judgment. The development of imagination is the foundation of his vision of education not only on the natural but also on the supernatural level. Third, we explore Aquinas’ moral assessment of imaginative art and finally its influence on shaping the character. This influence occurs on two levels: it is assessed from the perspective of charity, justice, prudence and purity, namely to what extent the art serves these values, whereas the second criterion is beauty.

Here, we adopted a many-analysts approach to assess the robustness of this relation based on a new cross-cultural dataset (N=10,535 participants from 24 countries). We recruited 120 analysis teams to investigate (1) whether religious people self-report higher well-being, and (2) whether the relation between religiosity and self-reported well-being depends on perceived cultural norms of religion (i.e., whether it is considered normal and desirable to be religious in a given country). In a two-stage procedure, the teams first created an analysis plan and then executed their planned analysis on the data. For the first research question, all but 3 teams reported positive effect sizes with credible/confidence intervals excluding zero (median reported beta = 0.120). For the second research question, this wa...

Therefore, a twofold problem is discussed. Firstly, the issue of different causal accounts within the new mechanical philosophy and the question regarding what philosophical reflections on the plurality of scientific explanation and causality can bring to theology. Secondly, Aquinas' metaphysics of the ultimate foundation of all reality in the triune God and how it can be insightful in its applications to contemporary theology. In conclusion the richness of reality, understood as the epistemic good (value) which implies moral (theological) humility, will be discussed.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic and its related experience of lockdown, loneliness and high uncertainty has offered a unique context in which the extent and effects of religious or spiritual capital could be tested against alternative attitudes or resources. An extensive survey undertaken by an international research team at the height of the pandemic in four European countries has provided data that allows for a better assessment of the extent to which the factor might be related to the way people cope and project meaning in critical times. The aim of the paper is to find out to what extent religious capital still holds among Europeans in their struggles to cope with harsh circumstances. The results point to the effective impact of religious capital and at the same time introduce nuances that help to better understand its complex dynamics.

Määrällinen tutkimusaineisto kerättiin keväällä 2020. Pääosa kyselyyn vastanneista (N = 1162) oli suomalaisia, puolalaisia, italialaisia ja espanjalaisia. Tutkimustulokset osoittavat, että kokemus elämän merkityksellisyydestä säilyi varsin vahvana koronapandemian alkupuolella. Uskonnollisuus näyttäytyi vastaajien keskuudessa merkityksellisyyttä vahvistavana tekijänä. Myös vastaajien korkea koulutustaso ja ikääntyminen vaikuttivat tukevan merkityksellisyyden kokemusta. Pandemian leviämisen ja merkityksen kokemuksen välillä löytyi myös yhteys. Tulokset osoittavat, että vaikka ihminen kokee merkityksellisyyden kokemusta, voi hän tulla haastetuksi muilla elämän alueilla. Pandemian pitkittyessä onkin oletettavaa, että ihmisten henkisen ja hengellisen tuen tarpeet moninaistuvat.

Paradoxically, the COVID-19 pandemic by enforcing social distancing has brought into sharp relief the relational nature of human life, namely, the cosmotheandric experience of interdependence among the theistic, cosmic and anthropic realities. One among the many aims of the present empirical research with the participation of 1162 respondents in the European context, is to explore the type of life-experience that emerges in the face of COVID-19. The factor analyses bring to light the specific configuration of three interrelated models: theocentric religious, cosmocentric spiritual, and anthropocentric secular. The correlations and agreement tendencies highlight the crucial and interconnected features of the three models in the face of the life-threatening pandemic. We conclude with a discussion on the emerging findings and their significance for empirical theological research and for pastoral health care and religious education.

It will refer to various forms of ritual which are manifestations of popular piety: cultural expressions, services, prayers and songs which form part of the veneration of Our Lady of Sorrows, Chelmno and the Cross in Villamayor de Monjardin. The article will also examine the different ways in which these feasts were celebrated during the period and the impact they had on the religious life of pilgrims. The study will be based on written sources: memories, diaries, newspaper clippings, and historical studies which are instrumental in demonstrating the transformation of how the parish patron’s day was celebrated over time.

Employing the methodological approach of modern science, Overcoming Reductionism aims to explain natural phenomena not in isolation from philosophical or theological interpretations. The book then focuses on the concept of pain. Although pain is a phenomenon familiar to all humans, defining it exclusively in terms of nociception proves challenging. This book therefore delves into the intricate nature of the phenomenon, critically acknowledging the way pain profoundly influences the construction of one's existential meaning, particularly concerning matters of faith.

In August 2015, an official ceremony of connecting the Slovakian section of Camino de Santiago (Spiš Way of St. James) with the Polish section of the Way of St. James – Beskid Way of St. James was held on the Borderline of Poland and Slovakia, in Litmanowa, on the peak of Eliaszówka and in Piwniczna. Several weeks later (on 10–11 October 2015), the Lviv Way of St. James Via Regia was connected with the Sub-Carpathian section of the Way of St. James Via Regia. On 8 December 2015, the inauguration of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy was officially celebrated in the Vatican. Following a mass at St. Peter's Square, Pope Francis opened the Holy Door of Saint Peter's Basilica. As decided by Pope Francis, on the following days, approximately ten thousand Holy Doors were opened all around the world in all dioceses of the Catholic Church. Holy Door, or the Door of Mercy, is where the faithful can be granted plenary indulgence throughout the Year of Mercy (8 December 2015 – 20 November 2016). The Doors of Mercy were opened in all Catholic cathedrals and in hundreds of shrines and churches along the pilgrimage route to the tomb of St. James in Santiago de Compostela.
Also the session of the First James's Parliament held on 2 April 2016 in Wrocław was important for the Polish circles. It was a congregation of several dozen representatives of brotherhoods of St. James, organisations and associations of Camino de Santiago friends in Poland, scientific institutions and clergymen who usually serve pilgrims in shrines of St. James (Jakubów, Lębork, Szczyrk, Więcławice Stare). The session was an opportunity for articulating the major challenges faced by Ways of St. James in Poland, with the care for the spiritual identity of Camino de Santiago and intensification of activities that encourage young people to go on pilgrimages as some of the most important ones. The publication which is being handed over to the Readers contains papers presented during the 9th International Scientific Conference “Camino de Santiago and the Tomb of St. James: History and Interpretation”, which was held on 10-11 September 2016 at the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow and at the Diocesan Sanctuary of St. James in Więcławice Stare. The total of 15 people prepared articles for this publications. Most of them are representatives of scientific circles: Stanisław J.

Lots of religious, cultural, political and economic events and activities had an impact on that. The first important impulse for the rebirth of the pilgrimage route to the tomb of St. James the Apostle came from Saint John Paul II. On 9 November 1982, St. John Paul II delivered his famous speech, commonly referred to as the “European act,” at the Cathedral in Compostela. Five years later, the Council of Europe deemed the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela the first European Cultural Route and encouraged regional authorities to recreate old pilgrimage routes. Subsequent religious (4th World Youth Day in Santiago de Compostela in 1989) and cultural events, like designation of the Way of St. James in Spain (1993) and France (1998), and northern sections in Spain (2015) as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, strengthened the unique importance of Camino de Santiago. At present, the network of Routes of St. James covers a larger part of the European continent. The number of marked sections of the Way of St. James increases each year and new initiatives related to the development of the cult of St. James are created in the space of individual European countries. During the recent decade, Poland has joined a group of Camino leaders. It has witnessed the marking of more than 6,300 km of Camino de Santiago sections. On the 30th anniversary of the award of the first European Cultural Route title to the Way of St. James by the Council of Europe Poland was already officially taking steps to incorporate Camino de Santiago sections into the European network of pilgrimage routes; this is a reason to be proud. Important events in this respect included Poland joining the Extended Partial Agreement concerning cultural routes of the Council of Europe and the meeting in Toruń (28-29 March 2017) of the European Federation of the Way of St. James. The Federation supervises Camino de Santiago as a European Cultural Route on behalf of the Council of Europe and is authorised to expand the European network of Ways of St. James with sections which can be found in subsequent countries. It is worth emphasising that the Local Government of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship was first to report accession of Poland to the Federation in 2016.
The 30th anniversary of the granting of the title of the first European Cultural Route by the Council of Europe encouraged Polish scientific circles associated at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow and the Pedagogical University of Krakow to organise the 10th International Scientific Conference “Religious and Cultural Heritage of the Way of St. James – the 30th Anniversary of the Designation of the First European Cultural Route”. The conference was held on 7 October 2017 at the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow. The objective was to draw attention to the spiritual and cultural potential of the European title being granted to the Route in a specific situation in history. The decision on granting the “cultural route” status to Camino de Santiago made 30 years ago meant not only historical appreciation of the merits of the Way of St. James for the identity of Europe as a continent but also discovered connections of the roads to Compostela with the nations of the old continent. The nomination from the Council of Europe was based on the assumption that Camino still plays a culture-creating role and that it may offer a new impulse for development to divided Europe which is experiencing a migration crisis and is seeking to define the directions of its development. The future is not shaped by escape from the past but by its creative continuation.
The title of the “cultural route” is definitely challenging for the Way of St. James as Camino is often presented as an example of harmonious combination of faith and culture. The title of the European Cultural Route is not about promoting a new product but about showing the Way of St. James as a carrier of values of key importance to the future of Europe. One should walk this way both in physical and spiritual sense, which means that one should live by the values that are brought to the lives of pilgrims on Camino. Therefore, Camino should not be reduced to one of many “cultural routes” only but it should be viewed as an opportunity to regain what has been lost, to restore the memory of forgotten heritage which is hidden deep near the foundations of the European project. There is no Europe without Camino de Santiago, as the route focuses (like a lens) all that defines the soul of Europeans: the conviction that it is a good idea to concentrate on what is most important to identity, based on the Christian view of the world and human life. Europe is memory. This publication includes, for example, papers delivered during the 10th International Scientific Conference “Religious and Cultural Heritage of the Way of St. James – the 30th Anniversary of the Designation of the First European Cultural Route.”

The conference will take place over the course of two days in an environment conducive to both scholarly reflection and discussion. The respect and protection of religious identity in public life is currently one of the most pressing global concerns. Many religious groups and individuals around the world struggle with persecutions and restrictions on religious freedom. This crisis raises many questions concerning the right balance between freedoms, which entangle with the right to practice one's religion or beliefs individually and collectively-both privately and publicly. The COVID-19 pandemic, which is a turning point in history, has brought additional and unprecedented limitations on many fundamental rights, including religious freedom. The aim of the conference, which will feature many legal, philosophical, theological, medical and art experts, is to provide a better understanding of current challenges, opportunities and responsibilities related to the complex nature of religious liberty in public life, perceived from different perspectives. https://laboratoriumwolnosci.pl/en/call-for-paper-en/

As an element of the one's identity, it is manifested also through educational institutions. To what extent religious freedom in education is and should be recognised? How to balance it with the requirement of neutrality and other principles necessary in a democratic state? How can insights from theory and practice be integrated? Most importantly, what can theorists from different fields learn from each other's work? The aim of this conference is to bring together experts from law, theology and education to explore the role of religious freedom in education, both within and across disciplinary boundaries. Please submit your abstract to [email protected] by 15 April 2020 together with your name, position and university affiliation. The abstract should be no longer than 250 words. The organizers recommend that it includes a compendious summary of a paper with the objectives, background, method, and conclusions. Each talk will last 15 minutes. After you submit your abstract you will be acknowledged of the receipt of the abstract via an email within two working days. The abstract will undergo a double-blind peer-review process by the conference scientific committee and the results will be sent to the author by the 1st of May. If you are not receiving an email from us set your email spam filter to accept messages from [email protected] and/or contact us. There are no fees for the conference.

The ongoing debate on the Christian philosophical and theological approach to the theory of biolo... more The ongoing debate on the Christian philosophical and theological approach to the theory of biological evolution is multifaceted. Beginning with the difficulty in defining species and units of evolutionary transitions, it addresses issues related to chance and divine providence, the classical principle of proportionate causation (saying that the effect cannot exceed its own cause), the distinction between creation (creatio) and production (productio), the reference to secondary causation of creatures in the origin of new forms of organisms as contrasted with the classical assertion that creatures cannot create (even instrumentally), mono-or poly-phyletic and mono-or polygenic origin of the human species, the question of human evolution and the original sin (including the means of its transmission), evolution and the idea of progress, philosophical and theological aspects of sociobiology and evolutionary psychology, the challenge of the secular culture contrasting biological evolution with the Christian doctrine of creation, and the challenge of the intelligent design movement questioning the reality of macroevolution and referring-at least indirectly-its idea of the intelligent designer of the universe to the Christian notion of Creator God. The historical development of the Christian response to biological evolutionism continues to be another promising area of interest and research projects. Going back as far as to the ancient idea of Augustine's rationes seminales and their use by theologians in the Middle Ages and among the first theists responding to Darwinian theory in the nineteenth century, the historical analysis addresses many other issues, including the study of the British virtuosi, i.e., the members of the Royal Society who supported the modern version of "physicotheology", or the Catholic philosophical and theological response to evolution in the age of the Modernist Crisis, including the distinction between the metaphysical, the biological, and so-called "natural species".

To fully grasp the context of the Hispanic-Mozarabic rite, references to the theology of the Church Fathers who came from and worked in the Iberian Peninsula will be necessary, especially the reception in Spain of the first universal councils, especially in the context of the Arian and Priscillian heresies. Studies indicating the inspiration of Mozarabic spirituality in later eras will also be of interest.

It is a right to manifest religion through teaching, worship, practice or observance that accounts for the socially embedded nature of religious belief, and the profound linkages between this belief and its manifestations. The aim of the Interdisciplinary Summer School on Religious Freedom taking place in July 19-24, 2020 in Warsaw is toform the foundations of knowledge necessary for academic commitment to defend religious freedom and to protect religious minorities against persecution. The School is organized by the Institute of Justice in Warsaw, Poland-a state organisational unit subordinate to the Minister of Justice of the Republic of Poland. The Institute performs scientific and research activities in the area of lawmaking and the application, axiology and social operation of law. The seminar will take form of interdisciplinary lectures and workshops. Classes are given by lecturers from the University of Leuven (Belgium), University of Navarra (Spain), University of Oxford (United Kingdom), and the University of Warsaw (Poland). On the last day of the School a Forum of NGOs working with religious freedom and religious persecution will take place. In addition to experts, short presentations on these topics will be given by conference participants: students, doctoral students, recent graduates and young scientists from various academic backgrounds. To register please fill out the form and send the abstract of your presentation of up to 200 words by March 14, 2020 here: https://system.erecruiter.pl/FormTemplates/RecruitmentForm.aspx?WebID=0ff40ac3d9b34d3 9a83f077d2b5d9d9c You will be notified about the results via email by March 21, 2020.

These include ethical or moral issues. To what extent is it permissible to apply a certain technique? Should a government regulate scientific activity? Can a religion provide criteria for discerning good from evil in technical matters? Are the criteria of right and wrong enough to determine the way a scientist should act? Who is entitled, if anyone, to regulate a certain scientific activity? Should citizens have a voice in ethical debates on scientific activity or are the scientific committees enough? We invite papers that address these questions and related issues, including but not limited to the former ones.

Meanwhile, contemporary biblical theology is striving toward an integration of the historical-critical method with the patristic-medieval exegetical approach. The aim of this conference is to develop our understanding of Aquinas' biblical exegesis, it's influence on modern and contemporary exegetical approaches and explore ways in which Aquinas' thought and contemporary biblical exegesis can mutually enrich each other towards an integration of biblical exegesis and speculative theology with special reference to recent magisterial documents. Possible topics to be treated (among many others) are: * From an historical perspective: the relation of Aquinas' exegetical approach compared to his predecessors; the influence of this approach on the history of exegesis and theology.

Also the session of the First James's Parliament held on 2 April 2016 in Wrocław was important for the Polish circles. It was a congregation of several dozen representatives of brotherhoods of St. James, organisations and associations of Camino de Santiago friends in Poland, scientific institutions and clergymen who usually serve pilgrims in shrines of St. James (Jakubów, Lębork, Szczyrk, Więcławice Stare). The session was an opportunity for articulating the major challenges faced by Ways of St. James in Poland, with the care for the spiritual identity of Camino de Santiago and intensification of activities that encourage young people to go on pilgrimages as some of the most important ones.
The publication which is being handed over to the Readers contains papers presented during the 9th International Scientific Conference “Camino de Santiago and the Tomb of St. James: History and Interpretation”, which was held on 10-11 September 2016 at the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow and at the Diocesan Sanctuary of St. James in Więcławice Stare.
The total of 15 people prepared articles for this publications. Most of them are representatives of scientific circles: Stanisław J. Adamczyk, PhD (the Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce); Rafał Bielecki, MA (the Pedagogical University of Krakow), doc. (Assistant Professor) Oresta Bordun (the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv), Rev. Dariusz Doburzyński (the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń), Jacek Marian Hołub, MA (the University of Rzeszów), Rafał Koszek, PhD (the Pedagogical University of Krakow), Franciszek Mróz, PhD (the Pedagogical University of Krakow, Archicofradía Universal del Apóstol Santiago), Wojciech Mruk, PhD (the Jagiellonian University in Krakow), Professor Waldemar Rozynkowski, PhD (the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń) and Kajetan Suchecki, MA (Krakow University of Economics). Other Authors have links to individual sections of the Way of St. James or represent regional organisations and associations related to the Way of St. James: Waldemar Hass, PhD (Archaeological and Historical Museum in Głogów and the Brotherhood of St. James in Więcławice Stare), Agnieszka Jaworska, PhD (Idź Dalej Foundation, Archicofradía Universal del Apóstol Santiago), Barbara Karpała – conductor and art manager of Schola Cantorum Cracoviensis in Krakow), reserve captain, Eng. Wiesław Czajka, MSc (Confraternity of St. James the Greater the Apostle with the Field Cathedral of the Polish Army) and Łukasz Stefaniak, PhD (Confraternity of St. James the Greater the Apostle with the Field Cathedral of the Polish Army).
The 30th anniversary of the granting of the title of the first European Cultural Route by the Council of Europe encouraged Polish scientific circles associated at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow and the Pedagogical University of Krakow to organise the 10th International Scientific Conference “Religious and Cultural Heritage of the Way of St. James – the 30th Anniversary of the Designation of the First European Cultural Route”. The conference was held on 7 October 2017 at the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow. The objective was to draw attention to the spiritual and cultural potential of the European title being granted to the Route in a specific situation in history. The decision on granting the “cultural route” status to Camino de Santiago made 30 years ago meant not only historical appreciation of the merits of the Way of St. James for the identity of Europe as a continent but also discovered connections of the roads to Compostela with the nations of the old continent. The nomination from the Council of Europe was based on the assumption that Camino still plays a culture-creating role and that it may offer a new impulse for development to divided Europe which is experiencing a migration crisis and is seeking to define the directions of its development. The future is not shaped by escape from the past but by its creative continuation.
The title of the “cultural route” is definitely challenging for the Way of St. James as Camino is often presented as an example of harmonious combination of faith and culture. The title of the European Cultural Route is not about promoting a new product but about showing the Way of St. James as a carrier of values of key importance to the future of Europe. One should walk this way both in physical and spiritual sense, which means that one should live by the values that are brought to the lives of pilgrims on Camino. Therefore, Camino should not be reduced to one of many “cultural routes” only but it should be viewed as an opportunity to regain what has been lost, to restore the memory of forgotten heritage which is hidden deep near the foundations of the European project. There is no Europe without Camino de Santiago, as the route focuses (like a lens) all that defines the soul of Europeans: the conviction that it is a good idea to concentrate on what is most important to identity, based on the Christian view of the world and human life. Europe is memory.
This publication includes, for example, papers delivered during the 10th International Scientific Conference “Religious and Cultural Heritage of the Way of St. James – the 30th Anniversary of the Designation of the First European Cultural Route.”
