Prirodzená teleológia ľudského konania ako jadro morálneho učenia Tomáša Akvinského

The Natural Teleology of Human Action as the Core of the Moral Teaching of Thomas Aquinas

Peter Samuel Lovás

Studia Theologica 2022, 24(3):1-16 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2022.0281366

This article in the field of fundamental moral theology presents natural teleology and per se determination of human action, which establish the essence of morality according to Thomas Aquinas. By observing nature, Aquinas came to the conclusion that nothing happens randomly, but every being acts because it pursues certain goals. The end of an act is thus the first principle of understanding in the order of acts. Some intended ends, by their nature, require a specific object. Such objects are per se ordained to the end of an act. An action can pursue only one proximate end, but can be ordained to several remote ends, one of which is the...

Kristův královský úřad a celkové shrnutí tří Kristových úřadů v hlavních spisech M. J. Scheebena

Christ’s Kingly Office and the Overall Summary of Christ’s Three Offices in the Main Work of M. J. Scheeben

Veronika Řeháková

Studia Theologica 2022, 24(3):17-39 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2022.0201318

This study is a follow-up on the two previous treatises on Christ’s hierarchical offices and brings this series to a close. The author focuses on Christ’s kingly office in Scheeben’s two main works. The German theologian places it fully in the context of the other two offices and finds manifold link-ups with prefigures in the Old Testament. The focus on Jesus the King during his earthly life is left behind and full attention, in contrast, is given to Christ’s reign after His Ascension. The strong side of Scheeben’s theological reflection about Christ the King is its accord with his solution of the primary purpose of...

Základné tematické línie teologickej recepcie Kierkegaarda v 20. storočí

Basic Thematic Lines of the Reception of Kierkegaard in Twentieth Century Theology

Peter Šajda

Studia Theologica 2022, 24(3):41-56 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2022.0371178

The reception of Kierkegaard’s thought in twentieth century theology was extremely varied and complex. One can, however, identify in it thematic lines which originated largely due to the fact that theologians reflected not only on Kierkegaard’s primary work but also on its secondary reception in their contemporaries and predecessors. The repeated emphasis on certain moments of Kierkegaard’s thought led to the emergence of an intellectual continuity within the theological reception. I present four basic thematic lines in the article which run through the theological reception in different denominational and linguistic environments....

„Neznesiteľná“ farnosť ako spôsob perzekúcie kňaza v Hornom Uhorsku na začiatku 20. storočia: Prípad Karola Antona Medveckého v Bacúrove

The ‘Unbearable’ Parish as a Way of Persecuting a Priest in Upper Hungary at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century:
The Case of Karol Anton Medvecký in Bacúrov

Ján Golian

Studia Theologica 2022, 24(3):57-79 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2022.0361307

The aim of the article is to present the process of persecution of Slovak Catholic priests in Upper Hungary at the beginning of the twentieth century. Hungarian bishops punished politically active priests by making them forcibly serve in the poorest parishes across all the Hungarian dioceses. It was a strategic way of Hungarianizing the Hungarian church hierarchy, which involved bullying them to morally and socially breaking non-Hungarian priests. The article presents the priest Karol Anton Medvecký, who was in a dispute with the Bishop of Banská Bystrica, Wolfgang Radnai. The bishop left Medvecký to work in the parish of Bacúrov for almost ten years,...

Návrhy na spresnenie teologickej terminológie v slovenčine: Tretia časť

Suggestions for Refining Theological Terminology in Slovak: Part III

Jozef Krupa

Studia Theologica 2022, 24(3):81-103 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2022.0331511

There are words in the Catholic doctrine where the meaning is not unambiguous, but ambiguous or polysemous. Ideally, there should be more monosemic and less polysemic expressions. This cannot be prevented in many cases. There are several options, however, where ambiguity or polysemy can be eliminated. This may help to refine Catholic doctrine. The aim of my study is not the pastoral aspect as a matter of priority, consisting in the gradual introduction of new terms into homilies, catechisms or prayer books, but a theological view, whereby the task is to argue from the aspect of the content of the doctrine and correctness of the Slovak language. This...

Náboženství a církve v politickém životě České republiky po roce 1989

Religions and Churches in the Political Life of the Czech Republic After 1989

Tomáš Jarmara

Studia Theologica 2022, 24(3):105-124 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2022.0321548

The aim of this study is to analyse the position of churches and the influence of religion in the public and political life of the Czech Republic after 1989. Attention is also focused on the relationship between churches and political parties, the calls of churches to participate in elections and whether they called for the support of specific political parties. The study also looks at the recruitment of political leaders from the church’s hierarchy and major Christian issues in the public agenda, media and politics. The study is linked to additional sources and literature.

Farní střediska charity – co jim pomáhá, co je brzdí? Explorativní kvalitativní studie

What Facilitates and What Hinders the Establishment of Parish Social Ministry Core Teams: An Exploratory Qualitative Study

Jakub Doležel

Studia Theologica 2022, 24(3):125-148 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2022.0351279

A significant proportion of Catholic global charitable activities take place not only in corporate Charity agencies (ChA), but also in local volunteer groups in parishes. The parish environment of Charity underwent a significant decline in Czechoslovakia during the twentieth century, which continued with the unilateral expansion of Charity agencies after 1990. Due to the new ecclesiological emphases, following the encyclical Deus caritas est, there is a renewed sensitivity to the charitable ministry of parishes and ways are being sought to establish it where it has not been before. There is a minimum of knowledge in this area. The aim of this study...

Svobodní zednáři v dokumentech katolické církve 1738‒1878

Free Masons in the Documents of the Catholic Church 1738‒1878

Ctirad Václav Pospíšil, Veronika Řeháková

Studia Theologica 2022, 24(3):149-170 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2022.0231503

The authors analytically and critically study papal statements on Free Masons during the period 1738‒1878. The period 1878‒1983 will be the subject of the following article. The Catholic Magisterium of that historical period did not fully distinguish between Free Masons, Illuminates, Carbonari and other organisations which often had different aims and methods of work. The problem is also the degree of connectedness between Free Masons and the French Revolution. There is no accusation of Satanism in any of the papal documents. There is another problem when, based on its experience with Italian and perhaps French Lodges, the Papacy pronounced...
