: On the 29th of June 2020 the Vatican’s Congregation for the Clergy released a new pastoral instruction on the parish: “The pastoral conversion of the Parish community in the service of the evangelizing mission of the Church.” The organizational structure of the Church, well-established over previous epo-chs, is currently undergoing a certain crisis – a consequence of a wider crisis of the Church and even a wider crisis of the Christian faith in the countries of Western civilization. It is not only the declining number of priests but also the dec-reasing number of Catholics that has led to a weakening of the parish status. Bishops in Germany, Switzerland and other countries in Western Europe have probably already accepted this phenomenon and are focusing on the development of pastoral care in supra-parish organizations, such as unions (com-munities) of several parishes or large regional pastoral centers. Unfortunately, these organisms resemble religious services and Church administration stations rather than former parish communities bustling with religious life. The aim of this study is to determine the chances of survival for the parish under the current circumstances of the Church in Europe. If a parish is to survive the current cultural changes, it is necessary to answer the following questions: munity of communities, and the parish as a community of co-responsible service.

: This paper presents the basic features of Aquinas’ theodicy, first indicating some difficulties regarding the problem of evil—or even attempts to implicate God in evil —that have emerged in the wake of scientific achievements, especially in the field of evolutionary biology. What is needed in response to these challenges is an appropriate view of God’s causality, which is analogous in character and does not constitute one of many causalities in the world. A correct understanding of the relationship between the First Cause and secondary causes sheds new light on the debate about the Creator’s responsibility for evil in the world. For Aquinas, God’s action is focused on the good of the whole, which is why the notion of integrity or rectitude, which was already present in Paradise, explains the accidental—not intentional—presence of evil in the world. Against that background, the paper explains God’s manner of re-sponding to evil as interpreted by Thomas Aquinas, which consists in conque-ring evil with the greater good, its paradigm being the Incarnation. For a Christian, this is a model example of how a man can conquer evil by strengthening good and persisting in it through cooperation with grace.

Among the numerous exegetical, philosophical and theological questions raised by the Biblical narrative of the Burning Bush, the question of the family resemblance between some aesthetic experiences and the experience of Revelation proper deserves a particular interest from a phenomenogical point of view. The present essay addresses this question in reference to the First Part of Jean-Luc Marion’s monumental “Essay”: D’ailleurs, la Révélation (2020).

: Recovery from alcoholism is a complex, dynamic, personal and social process aimed not only at abstaining from alcohol but also at improving the quality of various areas of life. In this process, individuals rely on a variety of internal and external resources. One of these is spirituality/religiosity, which contributes to the results of alcoholism treatment in various ways. In this paper, where we used the systematic literature review method to analyze 28 different studies in the field of spirituality/religiosity in the recovery process from alcoholism, we present findings that indicate the role of spirituality as one of the components in this process. We shed light on several spiritual and religious factors that are, each in its specific way, important support to the individual in the process of recovery from alcoholism.
