In defense of St. Maximilian the Theologian
No full textThe author disagrees with opinions of certain theologians which refuse St. Maximilian the title of Theologian. In his thinking coming from the concept of theology being understood from the Slovian root word − Bogo-słowije, which is equal to the Greek Theo-logia; in analogy – theology means: God’s Word Bogosłow (gr. Theologos). On the basis of Fr. Kolbe’s writings, the author proves his point that not only can St. Maximilian be counted as a theologian, but also among the elite group of the Three Theologians. A Theologian is not only a person „learned in Scriptures”, but a mystic, a person who comes to know God through contemplation, which does not come without the intellect’s part also. The main „instrument” of knowledge of God is prayer. Prayer brings a person to divinization. With divinization (sanctification), full human knowledge and being are realized. A person reaches his/her fullness – completeness in one’s ability; „touches” the theological reality. It is the most intimate sphere for human knowledge as well as human existence. St. Maximilian, similar to the great Theologians − St.John Theologian, author of „Tractate” about the Logos (J 1, 1–14) plus the well-known followers: St. Gregory Nazian, St. Simon the New Theologian – who belong to this very „category” of Theologians. Also his theology is based on becoming holy = divinization (sanctification). A Theologian is a person who is prayerful, contemplating the vision of God, and not just a scholar who aims for a university position and teaching career. St. Maximilian was such a person: he was a Theologian in the fullest sense of the meaning
Deepened Religious Social Awareness as an Effect of the Pastoral Ministry of St Maximilian
No full textThis material presents the person of Fr. Kolbe as an untypical kind of preacher. This Franciscan was not a speaker but rather used the written word before all else. His pulpit was the monthly magazine “Rycerz Niepokalanej” published by him. Through it he aimed to deepen the religious knowledge of the average reader. He reached a million faithful through this means. His publications activity was inspired by the mission given by Christ: Go and teach all nations – and essentially was the effect of an authentic pastoral care of the people entrusted to him in the big “world parish”. His figure has become for these times a sign for pastoral activity in the Church today, the time of religious ignorance of the faithful, as well as for the increasing laical and anticlerical mentality. Kolbian preaching, its model and form plus direction for catechism, presents itself as evangelization by the Church about God in the Holy Trinity and work of love. Also it shows about the Church itself as community for salvation, and the human condition infected by sin. At the same time, it is of an
apolegetic character. This should become obligatory for preaching since always more so in society Christianity once more is accused of the “foolishness of the Cross” and “foolishness of the Word” (compare 1Cor1:18–21), and thus save humanity in its restless existence

No full textHow to Talk About God in Church and at Home
No full textThis article concerns homilies for children, of their importance in Church and family life. To speak to children in a way to have them listen and hear, demands taking them seriously and a solid homily preparation. For this reason a wide range of homiletic material has been enclosed with examples from known preachers. This aims to encourage others to use such ideas and suggestions. Upon this was formulated a proposal of cooperation between the preacher and families so that a child wouldn’t be lacking the Word of God during the week. The homily should have it’s “continuation” in the home
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
