Abstract La preparación intelectual y profesional que hoy tiene la mujer, equivalente a la del varón, ha hecho que esta ya no se contente con un papel secundario, sino que exija igualdad de oportunidades y reconocimiento dentro de la Iglesia. Como consecuencia, la Iglesia del siglo XXI se plantea el desafío de incorporar a mujeres en la organización eclesiástica. Sin embargo, el hecho de que a lo largo de la historia las mujeres hayan estado ausentes en este tipo de puestos, hace que no sea evidente su lugar. De hecho, ante la incorporación de estas a los puestos de decisión en la Iglesia se alzan límites jurídicos. En este trabajo proponemos una reflexión sobre la potestad de gobierno, tal como la entiende el Derecho en la Iglesia. Para esto será útil una mirada al desarrollo histórico del problema, así como adentrarnos en la discusión doctrinal sobre si para ocupar puestos de responsabilidad es necesario ser sacerdote o si también se pueden confiar a laicos. Por otra parte, destacaremos como, mientras que la doctrina canónica trabaja por explicar en qué medida y modo los laicos pueden participar de la potestad de gobierno, en el pontificado de Francisco son frecuentes los nombramientos de mujeres en puestos de relevancia, de manera que la propia vida eclesial nos está ofreciendo las respuestas.

Abstract The main research problem of the article is the communication of the sacred in the Catholic Church in light of the theory of mediatization of religion and research on religion in the era of digital media. Communicating the sacred takes place through various channels and in various ways. One of its carriers is religious advertising, a special type of visual communication used more and more often in the Catholic Church. It occupies an important place in the social processes taking place, such as secularization and desecularization, and in the religious practices of internet users. The text presents the results of the author’s research conducted using the method of focus group interviews on religious advertising, its definition, typology and goals as well as the elements of the sacred present in it. Religious advertising should be treated as a new, completely separate type of advertising, whose inherent part and sine qua non condition is the sacred. Religious advertising is a form of visibility of religion in public space and a way of communicating the sacred in public space.

Abstract In this conversation with Jim Macnamara, relevant issues about the challenges of public communication are discussed. Macnamara is Distinguished Professor of Public Communication at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and has conducted numerous studies with different organizations (governments, public and private companies) that have led him to the conclusion that there is need for two-way communication between organizations and their different stakeholders. His research has focused on the particular importance of listening in organizations as the missing essential in public communication: based on his research he has theorized the design of an architecture of listening and the seven canons of listening. Professor Macnamara argues that one of the reasons for the lack of trust in society has to do with the limited understanding of communication as unidirectional (one-way transmission of information); thus, people do not feel listened to by either governments or organizations.

Abstract The last twenty years have brought profound changes in communication and technology. World leaders have extended their communication into the digital space. In the Catholic world, we speak of a digital papacy, seeing the growth of a community following the Pope on social media. Our study looks at how the language of the Holy See is changing in media-related texts published annually for World Communications Day. The research corpus consists of the messages of the last three popes – from 1995, when the vatican.va domain was created, up to 2022. Using textual analysis, we show that, in addition to the normal change in terminology, the approach of the popes as the ecclesiastical authorities to the community is changing, and the community itself is also changing. For example, the word ‘must,’ which was widely used in messages until the rise of social networks, has completely disappeared from the texts in the last few years. Our study leads us to posit that not only is there a change in how the popes address the Catholic community, but there is also a paradigm shift in society and culture.

Abstract Ordinary language has difficulty transmitting certain spiritual experiences, such as mystical ecstasy or the process of conversion. These experiences, which cannot be expressed in words, and which involve both the spiritual and the corporeal, are called ineffable. But the literary tradition is full of examples in which these incommunicable truths are expressed linguistically: from St. Augustine to C.S. Lewis, from St. John of the Cross to John Henry Newman, many authors have expressed their mystical or conversion experiences through metaphor. Evelyn Waugh’s novel Brideshead Revisited presents the action of divine grace on the characters, as seen through the eyes of the narrator as he undergoes his conversion. The intention of this article is to discover how the use of metaphor succeeds in expressing the action of divine grace in a conversion, providing important insights into the way poetic language can communicate the ineffable experience of the intimate encounter with divinity. To this end, the article analyses three metaphors of novel, (the twitch upon the thread, the balking horse and the hut collapsing under the avalanche) taking into consideration literary theory and what it says about metaphor.

Abstract In Western culture, perceptions and emotions have often prevailed over truth and reality, trivializing the act of lying and undermining trust between individuals and institutions. Today, freedom of expression and the right of citizens to freely form their own opinions—based on facts and not falsehoods—are sometimes threatened by the impunity with which lying is allowed in public debate, even in societies that consider themselves democratic. Lying, especially when practiced by public representatives, can cause serious social harm, and we believe that globalization calls for a higher common standard of respect for the truth. Along with the reflections of historical authors on the subject, in this essay we analyze two cases as examples: the false statistics used to achieve the decriminalization of abortion in democratic countries, and the lies of the Chinese authorities during the Covid-19 pandemic in one of today’s leading totalitarian states. We believe that these behaviors should not go unpunished, and therefore we propose to insert new criminal offenses in national and international criminal law, especially for those in public office and media professionals. Our objective is to preserve and promote truthfulness in our societies in order to foster trust and peaceful coexistence among free and equal people.

Abstract The purpose of the text is to analyze the leadership of Pope John Paul II in Poland from the 1970s to the present, showing the changes in the perception of the pope’s leadership during three different phases. In the communist period the papal leadership focused on social justice issues; during the transitional period on religious issues; and in the final, contemporary phase, it is perceived as part of Polish identity. The change in the perception of the papal leadership was linked not only to political changes, but also to processes in Polish society, including increasing secularization.

Abstract María Zambrano is among the most influential voices in the philosophical landscape of the 20th century. Her thought, which came to light slowly and with delayed recognition, is still highly topical today. Of great interest is her reflection on the idea of democracy in Europe, which represents an anticipatory look at many contemporary issues. As a Spanish exile and witness of the Second World War, Zambrano is, to all intents and purposes, a European citizen who recounts the agony that her distant Europe is experiencing with great passion. The attention she pays to that decadent and diseased body, as she calls it, captures an additional dimension to the historical-political one, which is nevertheless central. In describing the violence of those years, she reaps the seeds that made the emergence of a common European ground possible, and that must be nurtured again. It is not only a matter of rediscovering the cultural roots - philosophical thought and the Christian message – but also of understanding the causes of that history that became sacrificial. It is, therefore, a matter of rethinking the human in virtue of its creatural and transcendent dimension and rediscovering the common origin that makes every human being a part of the same humanity.
