Borut Košir:
Right of the Faithful to Effectively Appear before Church Courts
|
|
nlike earlier legal compendiums, the new Code of Church Law summarizes
the duties and rights of the faithful in three compact blocks
of canons. Among them is also the right guaranteeing to the faithful
the possibility to appear before a church court and to defend
their interests by legal action. In order to have the rights of
the faithful before church courts protected in the best possible
manner, they are guaranted the aid of representatives and lawyers,
whose role is specifically determined by the Code. The faithful
mostly turn to church courts in suits for the annulment of marriage,
where the faithful try to prove that their marriage was not validly
concluded. In such cases the judge is not obliged to appoint a
lawyer ex officio, but the Code gives specific instructions that
each court should appoint permanent defence lawyers who are to
be remunerated by the court. They shoild act as lawyers or representatives
for parties in suis for the annulment of marriage if they want
to choose them.

Summary: Snežna Večko OSU: Saul - the Persecutor or the Persecuted
one?
|
|
The analysis has shown that in the texts speaking about rejection
(1 Sam 13:13-14; 15:23,26; 28:16-19) the writers use the principle
of double causality. They present the two principal protagonists,
Saul and David, in their acts. So it is obvious that Saul has
lost the fundamental attitude that God expects of human being
- faith and submission to God. David, on the contrary, has distinguished
himself in both. On the basis of the description of both, the
reader may come to see that Saul was not suitable to establish
a royal dynasty, whereas David was. The statement that God rejected
Saul and appointed David demonstrates the belief that all events
are guided by God, who takes individual?s free cooperation into
most serious consideration.

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life." Jesus" self-Description
in Jn 14.6
|
|
Jesus" words "I" (ego) and phrases "I am" (ego eimi) represent
a special linguistic feature of the gospel according to John.
Among them especially three manifestations and the dimensions
of their meanings stand out: the stressed or emphatic "I", the
absolute "I am" and the "I am" connected to images/concepts. The
author uses the example of Jesus" self-description in Jn 14.6
to show how they are tooted in the Old Testament tradition and
how they influence the presentation of Jesus" personality and
the christilogy in the gospel according to John. On the basis
of the context it is clearly evident that Jesus" self-description
is an expression of a strong reciprocal immanence between him
and his Father.

Lenart Škof:
Moral Consciousness and Practical Philosophy of Saint Thomas Aquinas
|
|
For his ethics Aquinas took many concepts from Aristotle and
his Nicomachean Ethics and interpreted them within the frame of
specific Christian theological and philosophical thought. Whereas
speculative philosophy deals with the question of truth, the main
objects of Aquinas' practical and moral philosophy are the good
and, consequently, human activity. Already in Aristotle's philosophy
human acts belong to changeable objects, which makes man conscious
of their motives and purposes. With Aquinas, Aristotle's ideas
are broadened by a theory of natural law, synderesis and
practical virtue (prudentia). The author endeavours to
show Aquinas' great interest in morals within his synthesis of
moral philosophy and theology.
