        Polen denkt Europa

        Politische Texte aus zwei Jahrhunderten

        by Anne Altmayer, Jan Conrad, Jutta Conrad, Friedrich Griese, Ewa Heyde, Peter Oliver Loew, Peter Oliver Loew

        Polens Traum: Europa. Polens Zweifel: Europa. Polens Realität: Europa. über die Jahrhunderte hinweg bewegte Europa die Polen, bewegte Polen Europa. Diskussionen entbrannten, Heere marschierten, Bücher erschienen, Grenzen verschwanden und entstanden, immer wieder: die Suche nach Heimat, Vaterland, Europa. Jahrhundertelang stellten sich die Menschen zwischen Warthe, Weichsel, Bug und Dniepr die Frage nach dem Kontext der Nation: War es Europa, sein Westen, sein Osten, der Orient? Oder lag Polen im Mittelpunkt einer echt ostmitteleuropäischen Tradition – als Kernland der Sarmaten, der ewig Leidenden, als 'Zwischeneuropa' irgendwo zwischen Rom, Moskau und Byzanz? Beendet die Aufnahme Polens in die Europäische Union im Mai 2004 die Suche Polens nach dem Ort der Nation in Europa? Peter Oliver Loew zeichnet in einer Auswahl von Berichten, Essays und Gedichten aus zwei Jahrhunderten die Entwicklung des polnischen Europadenkens nach. Der Band enthält Texte von Stanislaw Leopold Brzozowski, Jan Parandowski, Józef ChalasiDski, Pawel Hertz, Jaroslaw Marek Rymkiewicz, Marcin Król, Johannes Paul II., Tadeusz Mazowiecki, Czeslaw Milosz und vielen anderen.

      • Before Amoris Laetitia

        The Sources of the Controversy

        by Jaroslaw Kupczak, Grzegorz Ignatik

        The publication of Pope Francis’ post-synodal apostolic exhortation, Amoris Laetitia started the most important theological debate in the Catholic Church since the end of the Second Vatican Council. The cardinals, bishops, theologians, priests, lay Catholics found themselves on the opposite sides of this crucial and complicated discussion. This book attempts to shed some light on this debate by tracing its genealogy. Since Amoris Laetitia is a post-synodal document, the large part of the book is devoted to the theological analysis of the two Synods of Bishops convoked by Pope Francis in the first years of his pontificate: the extraordinary in October 2014 and the ordinary that took place a year later. The main topics for the two synods were determined, however, in the speech given by Cardinal Walter Kasper during the cardinals consistory in February 2014 whose main aim was to prepare the possibility of admitting divorced persons who live in second unions to Holy Communion. The arguments of Cardinal Kasper are presented in the first chapter of the book and confronted with the most significant statements of the Magisterium of the Church on the issue of admittance to the Holy Communion. This book is a study at the intersection of Church history, the history of theology, and systematic theology: dogmatic and moral. Kupczak is interested in the chronology of the events connected to the two synods on the family but in the context of theological problems discussed therein: the theological significance of contemporary cultural changes; the relation of the Church to the world; the understanding of the indissolubility of the sacramental marriage and the Eucharist; the methods of ethically assessing human acts, particularly the concept of so-called intrinsically evil acts (intrinsece malum); and the relation of conscience to the general moral norm. The non-partisan ambition of this book is to serve as a “road map”— a help in navigation for the reader in the complicated discussions leading to publication of Amoris Laetitia. The uniqueness of this book consists in combining the historical analysis of the events leading to the publication of Amoris Laetitia with research of the theological discussion that ensued. Since Amoris Laetitia is a post-synodal exhortation, this book rests on the assumption that crucial for its understanding is a thorough analysis of its genealogy. Only in the light of this historical and theological perspective the debates surrounding Amoris Laetitia may be understood.
