Abstract Poland is one of the most Catholic countries in the world. 33 million out of its 38 million people (92.9% of its population) declare themselves to be Roman Catholic. Church initiatives for the needy, whether poor or immigrants, are everywhere. The Church is a robust and influential institution, strengthened by the pontificate of the Polish Pope, John Paul II, who is considered not only a saint but also a national hero. In many aspects, Poles could be put as an example for Catholics in other countries. But there is an issue in which the Church is not at the vanguard: the fight against sexual abuse. Recent cases have eroded the solid trust Polish people put in their Church. More recently, the documentary Tell No One, released in two parts in May 2019 and May 2020, was a turning point, and the confidence in the institution visibly plummeted. This case study tells the recent story of the issue of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy in Poland, its lights and its shadows. The paper ends with some suggestions for a trust recovery strategy, as recommendations for both Church authorities and their communication offices.
波兰是世界上最天主教化的国家之一。3800万人口中有3300万人(占总人口的92.9%)自称是罗马天主教徒。教会为有需要的人(无论是穷人还是移民)所采取的行动无处不在。教会是一个强大而有影响力的机构，波兰教皇约翰·保罗二世(John Paul II)不仅被视为圣人，而且被视为民族英雄，他的任期使教会得到了加强。在许多方面，波兰人可以作为其他国家天主教徒的榜样。但在一个问题上，教会并没有走在前列:反对性虐待的斗争。最近的案件已经侵蚀了波兰人民对他们的教会的坚实信任。最近，于2019年5月和2020年5月分两部上映的纪录片《不要告诉任何人》(Tell No One)是一个转折点，人们对该机构的信心明显下降。这个案例研究讲述了最近波兰天主教神职人员性侵犯问题的故事，它的光明和阴影。本文最后提出了一些恢复信任策略的建议，作为对教会当局及其传播办公室的建议。

Abstract The United States comprises 197 dioceses and eparchies. With the sexual abuse crisis affecting every one of those dioceses in some way, the clarion call from the laity and media for transparency within the Church became deafening. In the midst of this crisis and the calls for more transparency, a central question arose: how transparent are U.S. dioceses about their handling of clergy sexual abuse? This led to further questions regarding how many dioceses have had a review of clergy files and released the names of clergy abusers; how many make it easy to report abuse; and how many have a complete online resource as their response. At the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) fall 2018 meeting, the chair of the National Review Board (NRB), Francesco Cesareo, Ph.D., offered five key recommendations to increase accountability and transparency. In light of these recommendations, FAITH Catholic researchers reviewed and analyzed what steps U.S. dioceses are taking to achieve transparency. We concluded by developing criteria to enable diocesan leaders to understand more clearly what U.S. dioceses are already doing, or not yet doing, related to implementing those recommendations.

Abstract This article examines British government communication during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing how it aligns to the communicational characteristics of high reliability organizations (HROs). The central proposition of the study is that HROs’ organizational culture enables and cultivates effective, ethical communication that, in turn, enhances the trust and engagement of stakeholders and citizens. A thematic content analysis of the UK prime minister’s public communication about the new coronavirus outbreak, examining televised statements, news briefings and prime minister’s questions from January to June 2020, shows that the British prime minister’s initial approach to communication about the virus was complacent about the country’s preparedness and capacity to control the disease’s spread. No errors were admitted in any of the government’s subsequent handling of the pandemic nor were mistakes acknowledged in the actions of those in or advising government. These approaches to communication are at odds with those adopted by HROs. The study suggests that lessons can be learnt from HRO practices for communication in high risk environments. They are also applicable to organizations that have experienced historical difficulties both in admitting errors and in fostering a transparent, responsive communicational culture.

Abstract What does it mean to trust in the Church? The Church is a unique subject, whose identity and mission must be understood in order to determine which form of trust in her is the most appropriate. Understanding the Church as the mystery of the presence of God, who humbles himself to accompany human beings in human reality and history allows us to recognize that she can only present herself as a paradoxical phenomenon, characterized by tensions, the most serious of which is that between holiness and sin. This essay outlines the identity of the Church as a mystery and a paradox, and refers in particular to the thought of Henri de Lubac as support. A keener awareness of the paradoxical nature of the Church, which emerged in the twentieth century, led to significant gestures such as the request for forgiveness made by John Paul II in the Jubilee at the start of the new millennium. Evil in the Church provokes scandal and inevitably leads to a loss of trust. Paradoxically, however, a faith based on God and his promise can subsist, and it allows us to make sense of evil itself, without justifying it. It becomes an occasion for a greater revelation of God’s mercy on the Church herself, and on the world.

Abstract This paper argues that Joseph Ratzinger is a theologian with the stature of a Church Doctor, notwithstanding the fact that he did not develop a theological system in the manner of other ‘big name’ theologians of the twentieth century such as Karl Barth, Karl Rahner and Hans Urs von Balthasar. The author argues that it is Ratzinger’s manner of responding to the contemporary crisis in fundamental theology that is his outstanding intellectual contribution to the life of the Church, along with his effect of a Christocentric turn in magisterial theology and his defence of beauty within his theology of culture.
本文认为，约瑟夫·拉辛格(Joseph Ratzinger)是一位具有教会博士地位的神学家，尽管他没有像卡尔·巴特(Karl Barth)、卡尔·拉纳(Karl Rahner)和汉斯·乌尔斯·冯·巴尔塔萨(Hans Urs von Balthasar)等20世纪的其他“大牌”神学家那样发展出一套神学体系。作者认为，正是拉辛格对当代基础神学危机的回应方式，以及他对权威神学的基督中心主义转向的影响，以及他在文化神学中对美的捍卫，才是他对教会生活的杰出智力贡献。
