SPIRITUAL COMMUNION. SOME OF THE RELATED THEOLOGICAL PROBLEMS
Summary
The practice of the Spiritual Communion has existed in the Church at least since the times of Saint Augustine. It is defined as the desire to receive the Eucharist. The value of this practice has been confirmed by the teaching of the Council of Trident, masters of the spiritual life and many popes. It seems that the renewal of this custom can be a response to the problem of the banalisation of the Eucharist and offers a possibility to meet the spiritual needs of the people who cannot take the sacrament of Holy Communion. It can be experienced as a longing for the Lord present in the Eucharist, as well as a sign of solidarity with the sinners.

PIETY AS A PLACE WHERE SENSUS FIDEI IS REALIZED, BASED ON DOGMA OF VIRGIN MARY'S ASSUMPTION
Summary
The "Sensus fidei in the life of Church" document accents, that the sensus fidei concept does not appear in theology before the II Vatican Council. Yet practice has outstripped the process of clear defining sense of faith.
The author shows piety as a place where sensus fidei is realized, in the context of Virgin Mary's assumption dogma being announced. To illustrate the sense of faith, devotional practices developed in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, Wambierzyce and Saint Ann's Mountain were used. It has also been highlighted that sensus fidei realized in Marian devotion has been the main reason for Virgin Mary's assumption becoming a dogma for cause of Piuse XII.

BETWEEN THE CHARISMA AND THE INTELLECT. ATTEMPT TO SEEK THE GOLDEN MEAN IN THE FAITH IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF TEMPTATION OVER EMPHASISING OF HER THE CHARISMATIC ELEMENT OR TO HER OVERINTELLECTUALIZE.
Summary
The purpose of this article is to point out the differences between faith, that defines the doctrine, and charismatic faith, that opposes the faith of the intellect. The lack of cooperation between the two has led to a point, that practicing one excludes the second. Consequently this has led to radicalisation of its content, resulting in lack of any contribution for the community of the faithful. Therefore it is important to point out the elements of faith, that should support each other, by creating a base for its reasonable understanding with external expression of the cult.

FORGIVENESS IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF MERCY
Summary
Undertaking the problem of forgiveness as something which every man needs from God, it is necessary to look upon it in the perspective of God's Mercy as one of the elements of the process of salvation. Without doubt, we have to consider a man as the greatest fruit of God's creation (not forgetting about ontological abyss), invited to friendship with God from the very moment of creation. Also, the original sin and its effects, as well as God's Mercy revealed in the gift of the Only Son, cannot be forgotten. In Him we reach forgiveness - all of us who ask for it with faith and open heart. This forgiveness is realized in the framework of the New Covenant. It is accessible in the Church both in a regular (sacramental) and an extraordinary way. It leads to the creation of the new heart in us and it enables us to forgive each other in order to build the Civilization of Love. In that way, it reveals the truth that creation and redemption are correlated because redemption does not destroy the work of the Creator but the work of the tempter.

THE DOGMA OF THE VIRGINITY OF MARY IN THE CONTEXT OF CONTEMPORARY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MORAL EVALUATION OF TECHNIQUES OF ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION
Summary
Mary's virginity is one of the most problematic dogmas for mentality of modern people. In this context, Church's objection to using assisted reproduction techniques (in vitro and artificial insemination) which lead to conception of human person without sexual intercourse and - at the same time - the faith in virginal conception of Jesus, seems to be the most difficult issue to understand.
This paper will try to answer the question: does the faith in virginal conception stand in opposition to Church's ban of using techniques of assisted reproduction? And also: does the dogma of Mary's virginity shed some light on the problem of adequate way of human conception? Moreover, for methodological reasons text will deal with the appropriate interpretation of virginal conception of Jesus because it is the necessary starting point to further analysis.

Sommario
Nel recente magistero dei papi si trovano alcune affermazioni concernenti la correlazione teologica fra la Trinità e la famiglia umana. Il modello originario della famiglia deve essere ricercato nel mistero trinitario della vita di Dio. Il tema della famiglia come immagine della Trinità rappresenta una sfi da per la rifl essione teologica. Qual è il fondamento, la portata e i limiti di un'autentica analogia familiare della Trinità?
THE FAMILY AS AN ICON OF THE TRINITARIAN MYSTERY
Summary
Recent papal teaching has raised the topic of the theological relationship between the Trinity and the human family. The primordial model of the family is to be sought in the Trinitarian mystery of God's life. This whole area is still under discussion by theologians; they formulate questions about the foundation, meaning and limitations of an analogy of the family with the Trinity. On the one hand, the Trinity is the mirror of the family, the source paradigm of its created identity; on the other hand, the family is seen as a visible reflection of the invisible Trinity. These two perspectives interact with each other. Reflection on the Christian family as a living icon of the Trinity is important not only in the dogmatic but also in the ethical and spiritual forums.

GOD THE CREATOR AND CREATION IN THE DECISIONS OF THE ANCIENT AND MEDIEVAL COUNCILS
Summary
Faith in God as the Creator of heaven and earth from the beginning has been included into the deposit of faith, proclaimed by the Church. God who saves the world by His only-begotten Son, is also the principium of all available entities. Their diversity and interconnectedness reveal the wealth of creative works of the only God, but also the mutual relationship of entities among one another. They all are similar to one another not by the similarity in nature, but the similarity in the act of creation. This article tries to show how the form of the confession of faith in God the Creator was changing in the documents of the Ecumenical Councils. Texts in the form of confessions of faith, which always contain some reference to the Creator and the creation, have a special place in those documents. The analysis of these statements shows how the Church Creed has been clarified and deepened over the centuries.

DIVINE MERCY FULLY REVEALED AND REALIZED IN JESUS CHRIST
Summary
God is shown as merciful already in the Old Testament. However, it is in the fulfillment of God's promises in the incarnation of the Word that the realization of Divine mercy achieves its fullness. That is why the Word incarnate is also a revelation of the nature of Divine mercy. Its quintessence is made visible in Jesus Christ, who brings God closer to man and makes man capable of self understanding. In the Son the Father reveals Himself as inconceivable Love, whose consequence is creation and redemption. The Father not only does not withdraw His love in response to human sin, but in the Son becomes united with each man, thus showing the fundamental nature of His mercy. It is realized most fully in the work of Jesus Christ, in whom God loves every man with the same love as His own Son. In the Son, who united himself with the human nature, the Father also enables man to respond to Divine love. This means inviting and introducing man to the relation of mercy. Thus, mercy ceases to be a unilateral process and becomes the best way for man to unite with God through the imitation of Jesus.

THE NEO-PLATONIC IDEA OF PROCESSION AND RETURN AS A STRUCTURAL RULE OF EXPRESSING THEOLOGICAL TRUTHS AND ITS DECONSTRUCTIONAL REINTERPRETATION
Summary
Every age requires that theology seek such a language that would allow the expression of the revealed truths adequately to the way of thinking of contemporary people. That is why theology benefits from the current philosophy. New philosophical tendencies however, expressing the way of thinking of a modern man, may raise doubts as to their theological contributes. It is so because e.g. some philosophical currents question previous philosophical narrations which may raise concerns that they controvert simultaneously the theological systems based upon them. This situation is particularly visible actually, when one asks about the legitimacy of the use of postmodernist philosophies in the sphere of theology.
Nevertheless, there is a possibility of transposing (translating) of the basic categories of traditional philosophies and their theological implications to the categories of new and unverified philosophical systems and this possibility proves the adequacy mentioned above. The present article attempts to verify whether the basic categories of deconstruction may be compatible with the categories built upon the Neo-platonic philosophy.

ACEDIA, NEW GNOSIS, POPRELIGION ET CONSORTES. JOSEPH RATZINGER/ BENEDICT XVI THEOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF MODERN CRISIS
Summary
The shape of anthropology depends on the shape of theology. Godless anthropology distorts the image of a man; a broken relationship with God makes all spheres of life and human activity become distorted and degraded. While rejecting his Creator and the dependence on Him, a man loses his sense of meaning and taste of life. He neurotically tries to find them in other areas, replacing real values with substitutes and true reality with independently created requisites. Ratzinger shows that the loss of God and misplaced human autonomy generate sorrow, emptiness and, consequently, protest; everything in life becomes ill. According to J. Ratzinger/ Benedict XVI, the most dangerous contemporary diseases of culture and spirituality are: neo-gnostic mentality which is a mixture of anthropological frustration, blind faith in science and snobbery of elites; trendy fascinations with the West versions of Far Eastern religions generally supporting nihilistic inclinations of postmodernity; narcissistically creative culture and relativistic output placed beyond good and evil - in the name of tolerance and pluralism. The only cure can be cognition of real God and recognition of a source of hope and love in Him. Only by drawing from Him, a man is able to co-create the world where the final word does not belong to death.

THE PROBLEM OF SO-CALLED "VIEW OF GOD" IN THE LIGHT OF PAUL TILLICH'S CONCEPTION OF FINAL REVELATION
Summary
The problem of the so-called "view of God" is more and more popular in pastoral practice, as well as in evangelization. The term "view of God" refers to images and conceptions, which occurs in the heart of every believer. This topic is so vital that it is definitely worth theological reflection. For the Christian theology, there is only one criterion of all views of God, which is Revelation of God. Revelation in Christ, called by Tillich the final revelation, is an ultimate key to judge all conceptions about God. According to Tillich, this revelation can also judge and purge all religious experiences. It is true that every human being has his own relationship with God, but it is also true that the only one real view of God is that revealed by God himself in his Son. This view is a view of Love dying for the salvation of people.

HERMENEUTIC OF REFORM - HERMENEUTIC OF FAITH
Summary
The article focuses on the issue of proper interpretation of the Second Vatican Council's inheritance. Benedict XVI believes a "hermeneutic of reform" is an alternative to a "hermeneutic of rupture". Nevertheless, the expected "hermeneutic of reform" has received different interpretations. That's why a relevant hermeneutic of the "hermeneutic of reform" must be applied. The author presumes that an issue of the Bible interpretation, which is in accord with the postulated by Benedict XVI "hermeneutic of faith", is a practical expression of applying the "hermeneutic of reform". Therefore, the "hermeneutic of reform" has been interpreted in the light of the "hermeneutic of faith".
