The Being and Truth of Jesus Christ: On the Relationship between Ontology and Christology Following Klaus Hemmerle

Studia Theologica 2020, 22(2):1-23 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2020.0091183 
In this paper, discussing the way metaphysics and Christology relate to each other, we will attempt to shed the light on the problem of the ontological mediation of the "whole truth" of Jesus Christ. Our argument will be developed in dialogue with selected Christological proposals of German-speaking Catholic theology of the second half of the twentieth century (Rahner, Balthasar, Kasper, Hünermann) and, above all, with Trinitarian-ontological and Trinitarian-Christological approach of Klaus Hemmerle (1929–1994). Hemmerle’s most well-known essay "Theses for a Trinitarian Ontology" (Thesen zu einer trinitarischen...
Kresťanstvo a zjednotená Európa. Teologické, politické a ekumenické vízie Maxa J. Metzgera (1887–1944)
Christianity and a United Europe: The Theological, Political and Ecumenical Visions of Max J. Metzger (1887–1944)

Studia Theologica 2020, 22(2):25-48 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2020.017980
The article deals with the thought and work of the German theologian and priest Max J. Metzger, in particular his idea of an interrelation between the unity of Europe and the unity of European Christianity. By analysing Metzger’s courage to write a "manifesto" for European unity in which he admitted Hitler’s defeat on the battlefields of World War II and the integration of Germany among the European states, the article highlights his profound reflections on the contribution that Christians and churches should have offered for the reconciliation and unification of the European continent, namely, their conversion as a return to their roots,...
Liturgie a farnost při různých formách nedělního slavení
The Liturgy and the Parish in Dialectics among the Individual Piety of the Faithful and the Sunday Liturgy of the Assembled Community
Kopeček Pavel
Studia Theologica 2020, 22(2):49-72 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2020.0161016
Both the liturgical and the magisterial sources demonstrate that the local community – the parish which is the subject of the liturgy – takes precedence over personal participation in the Sunday Mass. It is important to reconsider this thoroughly. The life of the Church is shaped by the responsibility of its members, so local communities should be encouraged to gather every Sunday to celebrate the liturgy. The personal attitudes of individual believers should reflect more on the importance of the Sunday gathering of the local community, even if the Eucharist is not celebrated.
Velehradský unionismus a jeho místo v ekumenickém úsilí Františka Dvorníka
Velehrad Unionism and Its Place in the Ecumenic Efforts of Francis Dvornik
Pavel Ambros
Studia Theologica 2020, 22(2):73-84 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2020.003985
The most significant figure in the history of Czech Byzantine studies was Francis Dvorník. He was convinced that the principal of accommodation outweighed the principle of apostolic succession in the East, this being a theological, dogmatic concept that refers to the foundation of the Church by Christ. This study distinguishes Dvorník’s ecumenical position from the proto-ecumenical character of Velehrad Unionism. Under the term proto-ecumenical character we understand a method relevant to the ecumenical movement which is, however, used in the ecclesiological models that are still missing the principles of the Catholic understanding of the restoration...
Kanonické paradigma nerozlučitelnosti. O vztahu přirozenosti a kultury v katolickém chápání manželství
The Canonical Paradigm of Indissolubility: On the Relationship between Nature and Culture in the Catholic Depiction of Matrimony
Andrzej Pastwa
Studia Theologica 2020, 22(2):85-98 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2020.013957
Recollecting the elementary truth that matrimony is an institution established by the Creator so that humankind can implement His purpose of love and that the triune God reveals Himself in history and enters a salutary Covenant with His people making the matrimonial communio personarum a living image, which reflects His own image, might seem a truism. We aim to demonstrate in this study, however, the fact that some regularity deserves a moment’s thought. The clarity/transparency of this image constitutes a continuous challenge for the pastoral activity of the Church, in which an auxiliary, although, significant role is played by theological sciences....
Stylus Romanae curiae v kódexovom práve Katolíckej cirkvi
Stylus Romanae curiae in the Codex Law of the Catholic Church
Vojtech Vladár
Studia Theologica 2020, 22(2):99-135 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2020.004985
Stylus Romanae curiae, as important element influencing, regulating and completing the practical application of the Canon-Law rules, established from the formularies and rules of Apostolic Chancery originally. The Popes took concern at first in their general central administrative and judicial bodies exercising a control not only over the application of universal rules, but also in its completing and representing even the position of director of jurisprudence. Since then Stylus Romanae curiae started to influence not only the next development of Canon-Law sicence, but significantly also the legal practice, especially in completing of...
T. G. Masaryk tváří v tvář darwinismu a evolučnímu způsobu myšlení
Darwinism and Evolution in the Work of T. G. Masaryk
Ctirad Václav Pospíšil
Studia Theologica 2020, 22(2):137-159 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2019.026992
The main contribution of this study lies in the chronologically ordered analysis of the texts in which Tomáš G. Masaryk writes about the problematics of the evolution and Darwinism. Although there are strong anticlerical motives in his work, his thoughts show surprising affinity to the contemporary Catholic theologians who were open to the possibility of the creation of the species and the human being through the evolution. Masaryk has no doubts about the key role of the Creator in the process of the origin of the species and the human being, about the immortality of the human soul which is, in his opinion, not deducible from purely evolutionary processes,...
Jednorožec medzi médiami: cirkevné časopisy sa svojimi špecifikami vymykajú z bežného žurnalistického sveta. Žánrové porovnanie sekulárnych a cirkevných týždenníkov
Unicorn Among the Media: For their Specifics the Church Magazines Spin out of the Common Journalistic World. Genre Comparison of Secular and Church Weeklies
Terézia Rončáková, Miroslav Lettrich, Miroslava Psárová
Studia Theologica 2020, 22(2):161-177 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2020.0211104
The study is presenting and interpreting comparative genre analysis, based on the sample of 1.242 articles in six Slovak weeklies (four secular and two Church ones). It is working with an update genre classification elaborated by T. Rončáková. Besides the distribution of genres themselves the study follows presence of the author’s opinion, presence of the author’s subject (represented by the 1st verb-person) and presence of the hidden advertisement. The essential results are: style overlapping (journalistic style in Church periodicals is contaminated by administrative, science, art and rhetoric style); weakened author’s opinion,...
Teologii myslet, nikoliv dělat. Několik kritických poznámek k otázce „co je teologie?“
Thinking Rather Than Doing Theology: A Few Critical Remarks on the Question: "What Is Theology?"
Martin Kočí
Studia Theologica 2020, 22(2):179-191 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2020.0111560
This article is a polemical discussion with the recent attempts to define the nature and purpose of theology in Czech context. I critically examine the call to do theology rather than to think in theology as presented in the work of František Štěch and Štefan Štofaník. In contrast to these authors, I argue for theology as the practice of theoretical thinking, inspired by Jean Yves Lacoste, and propose that not practice but the lived experience in a philosophical reflection is the locus where the nature and purpose of theology is most clearly manifested.
Tragédie církevní disciplíny aneb polemika nad „mrtvou manželkou“
Tragedy of the Church Discipline or a Controversy over "Dead Wife"
Jiří Pavlík
Studia Theologica 2020, 22(2):193-205 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2020.0021494
The article analyses and, partly, criticises argumentation of the book Tragédie celibátu – mrtvá manželka ("Tragedy of celibacy—dead wife") by L. P. Baláž and M. Lajcha (Kľak, 2018). It observes the rhetorical and apologetical nature of the book and reveals its clericalist implications and presents different views on how to deal with this issue. It remarks that the refusal of marriage and the preference for sexual asceticism was not only a contribution of Platonic and Stoic philosophy but also merit and a genuine feature of early Christianity itself. It points out that the concept of longing to become a priest, which according to...
