The Teaching of the Church on Religious Freedom: A Break or Continuity of Tradition?
Get PDFThis paper elaborates upon the Catholic Church’s teaching on religious freedom in the period from The French Revolution to The Second Vatican Council. Based on quotations from the original documents, the author presents the evolution of the Church’s position that switched from the initial rejection to the final acceptance of the religious freedom over past two centuries. The fact of this dramatic change begs the question about the continuity of tradition and credibility of the contemporary position of the Church. Based on the document by the International Theological Commission, “Memory and Reconciliation: The Church and the Faults of the Past,” as well as the teaching of Pope Benedict XVI, the author demonstrates that – in contrast to some contemporary interpretations – the hermeneutics of continuity is possible regarding Church’s teaching on religious freedom

Thomas Aquinas and theistic evolution
No full textNiniejszy artykuł porusza problem odwoływania się do nauczania św. Tomasza z Akwinu w obronie teistycznego ewolucjonizmu. Artykuł otwierają definicje pojęć takich jak ewolucja i gatunek. Główna część artkułu ma strukturę średniowiecznego artykułu, takiego, jaki stosował sam Akwinata np. w Sumie teologii. Najpierw autor przedstawia dwanaście argumentów, które można znaleźć w pismach współczesnych tomistów i innych filozofów w obronie teistycznego ewolucjonizmu. W drugiej części autor odpowiada na pytanie dotyczące kompatybilności nauczania Akwinaty z teistycznym ewolucjonizmem, a następnie rozwiązuje dwanaście trudności, odwołując się do tekstów św. Tomasza. W podsumowaniu autor przedstawia siedem punktów ukazujących niezgodność trzech typów ewolucji (ateistycznej, materialistycznej i teistycznej) z nauczaniem Akwinaty na temat pochodzenia gatunków.“Thomas Aquinas and Theistic Evolution” is an article about the problem of using Aquinas’ thought to defend theistic evolution within the Christian theological tradition. The paper begins with definitions of terms such as “evolution” and “species.” The main part of the paper is structured according to the medieval articles written by Aquinas himself, such as those contained in his Summa Theologiae. First, the author presents twelve arguments that can be found in the writings of contemporary Thomists in favor of theistic evolution. In the next part, the author elaborates upon the answer to the question and he goes on to respond to the twelve arguments by referring to Aquinas’ writings. In the conclusion, the author shows seven points of disharmony between the three types of evolution (namely, atheistic, materialistic and theistic) and Aquinas’ teaching on the origin of species

A Textual Analysis of John Paul II’s Teaching on Evolution
No full textThe author considers John Paul II’s treatment of the topic of evolution in order to retrieve its full content. He starts with an analysis of the Pope’s 1996 Address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, especially addressing the problem of the meaning of the words that “the theory of evolution . . . [is] more than a hypothesis,” and the problem of hominization. Then, he explores papal statements from 1985 and 1986. Finally, he concludes that John Paul II’s teaching on evolution appears as fragmentary and ambiguous and, as such, requires greater precision and further development, especially for the sake of the Catholic theology of creation
CMSWR kontra LCWR. O kryzysie i odnowie żeńskiego życia konsekrowanego w USA
Get PDFThis paper describes the reforms of American religious sisters started byPius XII until the recent closure of Archbishop Peter Sartain’s commission.The paper shows how the reforms of congregations were taken up beforeand after the Council and how the two organisations representing Americansisters were founded. The continual dissent of LCWR from Churchteachings is shown in contrast to the fidelity of the alternative canonicalorganization, namely CMSWR. The lack of new vocations among LCWRsisters is a sign of mistaken reforms and the lack of attractive power intheir political agenda
Classical Metaphysics and Theistic Evolution: Why Are They Incompatible?
No full textThis paper explores the arguments against the compatibility of classical metaphysics (Aristotelian-Thomistic) and theistic evolution. It begins with presenting the line of division between theists and atheistic evolutionists regarding the origin of the universe. Next, it moves to definitions of the terms evolution and species. The core of the paper consists of the five reasons why theistic evolution is excluded by Thomistic metaphysics. Among these are the problem of sufficient cause, accidental changes generating substantial changes, the reduction of causality in theistic evolution and the problem of the order in the universe. This is followed by a presentation of the positive teaching of Aquinas on the origin of species. Finally, the article responds to the three common arguments put forward by theistic evolutionists who seek to either accommodate or dismiss classical metaphysics
