Matka Boska z Lepanto – opiekunka zwycięzców i pokonanych
Full text linkThe naval battle of Lepanto which took place in 1571 has been the symbol of the clash between a Christian and Musilm world till today; the clash which has been lasting for many centuries. It is seldom noticed that on both sides of the conflict fought soldiers who were united by deep religious respect for Our Lady. Worshiping Jesus’ mother was deeply rooted among confessors of Islam and also Christians. When John Paul II placed the letter “M” and the motto “Totus tuus” in his coat of arms he referred to this generality of faith and huge respect for Our Lady. The ease with which his pontificate realized the dialogue between religions seems to stay with harmony with the choice he made. Thanks to him it is possible to speak openly about delicate historic issues today, among other things about the battle of Lepanto which was a taboo in relations between Muslims and Christians for ages.The naval battle of Lepanto which took place in 1571 has been the symbol of the clash between a Christian and Musilm world till today; the clash which has been lasting for many centuries.

Impero Bizantino o Romano? Il caso di Ottone di Sassonia, di Giovanni Cantacuzeno e di Dušan Nemanjić
No full textThis article aims to present the liturgical meaning of the act of anointing and coronating Christian emperors on the example of the self-proclaimed Byzantine emperor Jan Cantacuzen and the king of Serbia, Dušan Nemanjić. Both of these rulers played an important role in the medieval history of Byzantium and the Kingdom of Serbia.This article aims to present the liturgical meaning of the act of anointing and coronating Christian emperors on the example of the self-proclaimed Byzantine emperor Jan Cantacuzen and the king of Serbia, Dušan Nemanjić.

Examining the Family in the Light of Marriage Annulment as a New Research Perspective
No full textThe aim of this article is to outline a new research perspective, allowing for an in-depth reflection on the condition of contemporary marriages and families. Of course, the problem itself is not new, but in order to analyse it, we propose to adopt a perspective which has not been present in the literature so far and which will consist in analysing the condition of the institution of marriage through the prism of the process of declaring a marriage null and void, i.e., the canonical procedure in force in the Catholic Church.The proposed research perspective is based on an interdisciplinary approach, taking into account the broad context in which, in our opinion, the functioning of the contemporary institution of marriage should be considered. In this approach we try to integrate sociological and demographic premises and inspirations with legal, theological and canonical premises, which is a significant novelty. The integration of these approaches will make it possible to consider the problem of the break-up of the marital bond in a different way than has been presented so far. Thanks to this, it is possible to make a comprehensive diagnosis of the situation of marriages in moments of crisis and to capture those aspects of spiritual and social life which have not yet been taken into account in the research, and which play a particularly important role in initiating proceedings to declare a marriage null and void
Obiekty wypoczynkowe i regeneracyjne według projektów Jana Bagieńskiego
No full textJan Bagienski (1883–1967) – architect, professor at the Lviv Polytechnic, an outstanding representative of the Lviv architectural school. His creative heritage is contained in the implemented projects, pedagogical activity, scientific works and professional articles. A significant part of the creative heritage of Jan Bagienski belongs to the buildings intended for rest and regeneration. The article emphasizes that in his designs sanatoriums, hospitals and ambulances, the architect transforms the functional features of an architectural form into means of their artistic expression, and understands the natural, landscape and ethnic features of the region for which they are designed. The compositional layout in the field, the internal layout, functional compliance with the requirements for medical institutions, and the expression of the volumetric and spatial solution were examined.Jan Bagienski (1883–1967) – architect, professor at the Lviv Polytechnic, an outstanding representative of the Lviv architectural school.

“WHO ARE YOU, WHO AM I?” Does a psychologist need philosophy to better understand the sexual abuse of minors?
No full textThis article attempts to look at the issue of sexual abuse from an anthropological point of view because the attempts by various scholarly disciplines to describe and analyze the phenomenon of sexual abuse, including attempts to identify causes and effects, do not provide clear answers to the question of the nature of what happen in sexual abuse. The first steps of the analysis show the need for a philosophical reflection, and point to the directions of such a reflection which can help to understand that the harm inflicted on a young victim by sexual abuse consists in a damage at the “core of the person,” of his own subjectivity, of his own “self.” It is an “anthropological harm or damage” resulting from “becoming an object” for the abuser. It interrupts the process of becoming an autonomous subject who understand himself and is able to enter in a dialogical relationship with others.The gist of the damage of child sexual abuse remains hidden behind the tangible long-term effects. These effects are often insurmountable during the victim’s lifetime. It indicates that we are dealing with damage to “who I am” – damage to the being of a sexually abused person. So, the person harmed in this way knows neither who I am – the person who experienced this harm, nor who you are – the perpetrator who harmed him and, in a sense, who the other is in general. Understanding the “anthropological harm” inflicted by sexual abuse clearly shows the challenge of the process of transitioning from the experience of “becoming an object” to discovering and rebuilding one’s own subjectivity, one’s own self, without denying the harm. Anthropological reflection concerns also the person of the perpetrator, who turned out to be the “bearer of evil.” Here, we have questions about intentionality, about responsibility for one’s actions, but also about the whole misery of a human being who, by objectifying another person, probably reduces himself to an object. Also, in the case of the perpetrator, understanding the process of becoming a perpetrator may help in the process of his resocialization, that is, the process of restoring his experience of his being as a free person open to meeting the other “you” who must not harmed.This article attempts to look at the issue of sexual abuse from an anthropological point of view because the attempts by various scholarly disciplines to describe and analyze the phenomenon of sexual abuse, including attempts to identify causes and effects, do not provide clear answers to the question of the nature of what happen in sexual abuse.

Protection of Minors in the Legislation of the Diocese of Tarnów
No full textThe sexual abuse of a child is a crime which demands a response on various levels. On the one hand, it requires psychological support for the victims, while on the other, it requires concrete legal and penal measures against the perpetrators, as well as broad social education and preventive measures in order to prevent similar tragedies from recurring in the future. The document entitled “Protection of Minors in the Pastoral Work of the Diocese of Tarnów – Norms and Rules” refers to the actions of the universal Church. The document on the protection of minors is a guideline for the Diocese of Tarnów to be used in all parishes, communities and works of the diocese, both by clergymen, consecrated persons and laity who undertake ministry among children and young people.The sexual abuse of a child is a crime which demands a response on various levels.

No full textFragile subjectivity, or the controversy grounded on the Lévinasian and Ricœurian philosophies of man, and some of its implications for understanding mental health
No full textThe study aims to confront two concepts of fragile subjectivity: one by Emmanuel Lé vinas and the other by Paul Ricœur. However, this is not the purpose in itself. Actually, the first step consists on the pointing out the similarities and divergences that exist between both approaches in dealing with the open and labile trait of human identity. This step further serves to highlight the discussion points which, due to the tension generated by the underlined incompatibilities, stimulate thinking and the search for mediation. To illustrate the fertility of this controversy, it is transferred to the area of philosophy of psychiatry, where an attempt is made to apply both anthropological positions to a philosophical interpretation of the essence of the phenomenon of schizophrenia. This interpretation of the pathogenesis of the chosen phenomenon allows, in turn, for a cautious conclusion to be drawn as to the described controversy between Lé vinas and Ricœur.The study aims to confront two concepts of fragile subjectivity: one by Emmanuel Lé vinas and the other by Paul Ricœur.
