Wielopoziomowa równość? Status wspólnot religijnych na Węgrzech
No full textA legal entity status for religious communities qualifies as an essential requirement of religious freedom. The present Hungarian law provides for four different categories for religious communities. Whereas the free exercise of religion and autonomy is guaranteed to all of them, their status and their rights in social issues are different. The state regards recognised churches as its privileged partners in education, social care and other fields of common interest. The number of recognised churches is relatively high compared to other European countries, but the multi-tier system is still not free of tensions, especially because the earlier legislation suggested that all religious communities shall have formally equal rights. This paper examines the question of whether this qualifies as a kind of discrimination towards non-recognised religious communities, or whether it can be seen as a legitimate consideration of social reality.
Osobowość prawna wspólnot religijnych uznawana jest za podstawowy wymóg wolności religijnej. Współczesne prawo węgierskie przewiduje cztery różne kategorie wspólnot religijnych. Swobodne praktykowanie religii oraz autonomia są gwarantowane im wszystkim, jednak ich status i uprawnienia w sferze społecznej są zróżnicowane. Kościoły uznane państwo traktuje jako uprzywilejowanych partnerów w edukacji, opiece społecznej i innych dziedzinach będących przedmiotem wspólnego zainteresowania. W porównaniu do innych państw europejskich liczba takich kościołów jest na Węgrzech relatywnie wysoka. Niemniej omawiany wielopoziomowy system nie jest wolny od napięć, zwłaszcza że wcześniej obowiązujące ustawodawstwo sugerowało, iż wszystkie wspólnoty religijne mają formalnie równe prawa. W niniejszym opracowaniu podjęto się próby odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy stosowane rozwiązania stanowią dyskryminację tych wspólnot religijnych, które nie posiadają statusu uznanych, czy też raczej należy je postrzegać w kategoriach uzasadnionego uwzględniania społecznych realiów

Bible, Psychology, and Social Studies: Interdisciplinary Project "The Relevance of the Bible for the Development of Religious and Spiritual Resources," KUL, Lublin
No full textThe article reflects on the possible areas of cooperation between the Bible, psychology, and social studies. Introduction presents a methodological basis and a fresh dialog carried on in recent decades between biblical and psychological studies. In addition to the analysis of psychological phenomena in biblical texts from the classical, historical-critical perspective, scholars increasingly turn to positive psychology, neuroscience, and social studies, examining emotions, communication strategies, relationships, values and development of individuals and communities. The authors go on to indicate the topics and biblical texts that open up to a fruitful dialog with diverse psychological approaches. The second part of the paper describes an original project developed at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (KUL) titled “The Relevance of the Bible for the Development of Religious and Spiritual Resources,” which uses two tools for studying changes in religious and spiritual resources: Religious Resources Scale and Spiritual Resources Scale. They are employed to study the impact of biblical texts on people who differ in terms of developmental conditions (e.g., age) and/or situational factors (including experience of existential emptiness, loneliness, bereavement, migration, and war conditions). The paper describes the methodology and the psychometric indicators of the above-mentioned measurement tools. The Religious Resources Scale and the Spiritual Resources Scale are used to detect religious and spiritual changes under the influence of biblical texts. They constitute the methodological basis for a pioneering interdisciplinary research conducted at KUL, which promotes a cooperation between biblical studies and psychology

The "Place of God": Biblical Exegesis and Spirituality in Evagrius Ponticus
No full textThis article examines Evagrius Ponticus’s spirituality, centering on the metaphor of “the place of God” (τόπος Θεοῦ). It argues that Evagrius defines this “place” not as a geographical location but as the “formless state” of the intellect (νοῦς), attainable through practices such as “pure prayer” and the acquisition of impassibility (ἀπάθεια). The analysis employs close textual and biblical exegesis (Exod 24:10–11; Ezek 1:26; 10:1) to demonstrate how Evagrius’s thought highlights the inner transformation of the intellect. This purification, in turn, facilitates a direct, contemplative encounter with God, illustrating the profound integration of lived spiritual experience with his method of interpreting Scripture
The Fermentum in the Historical Context of the Roman Liturgy
No full textThis contribution is a historical study of the ancient Roman practice of fermentum, which was already established and attested in the city of Rome at the beginning of the 5th century. Despite the scarcity of documentation relating to this liturgical practice, a critical study of the sources, together with their broader context, offers a more complete view of the phenomenon. Our study offers a critical re-evaluation not only of the liturgical sources themselves, but also of the opinions of leading scholars of the past regarding the Roman practice of fermentum
Theoretical Aspects of Biodiversity Protection in European Monetary Legislation
No full textThe subject of the analysis in the paper is an overview of the causes, features, and consequences of the tendency of „greening” the concept of modern monetary law and central bank legislation to preserve natural resources in the context of biodiversity and provide a contribution to the realization of sustainable and humane economic development. In this sense, the paper tries to indicate the potential contribution of „green monetary legislation” in controlling and solving environmental problems, where a special place is devoted to identifying the potential ecological dimension of the mandate of the (European) Central Bank as the supteme monetary institution of the EU. In the following text, attention is paid to the functional analysis of the arguments that can justify the inclusion of environmental risks in central bank legislation. In contrast, in the furter text, attention is paid to identifying the potential legal basis for biodiversity protection in the central bank mandate. Although at first glance, it may seem that monetary legislation has no direct connection with environmental law and policy, practice shows that there is a high degree of functional and content consistency between the goals of contemporary environmental and monetary policy, which only speaks in favor of the thesis of the ‘green lex monetae’. By applying the dogmatic, axiological, and comparative legal methods, the author aims to point out the biggest dilemmas and challenges in the central bank’s legal contribution to environmental concerns, identify certain solutions de lege lata, and possibly offer certain common recommendations de lege ferenda
Spirit(s), Angels, and Virtues: The Reception of Isaiah 11:2–3a in Early Judaism
No full textThis article examines the reception history of Isa 11:2–3a in Second Temple Judaism, as it relates to pneumatological perceptions and uses of the words for “spirit” in Hebrew and Greek (rûaḥ and pneuma). Isaiah 11 plays an important role in messianic expectations in both Judaism and Christianity, but its reception in early Judaism sheds light also on early pneumatological developments and forms the background to later, early Christian interpretations of this text. Via close readings and analyses of (1) The Septuagint translation of Isa 11:2–3a; and relevant texts from (2) Qumran; (3) the Jewish Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha; and (4) the Targum Isaiah this study demonstrates different interpretative lines and uses of “spirit.” The main conclusions are that there are both royal or messianic and more “democratized” interpretations and applications of the original “royal charisma” in Isa 11:2; furthermore, that “spirit” can be used to denote the spirit of God, human dispositions, charismatic gifts or virtues, and angelic beings—and, sometimes, the distinctions between these categories are blurry and overlap.The Polin Institute for Theological Research, Åbo Akademi University & the project “Isaiah Between Judeo-Christian Borderlines” funded by the Research Council of Finland
