Religious Inspiration in St. Thomas Aquinas’ Natural Science System
The article discusses chief aspects of religious inspiration of the views of St. Thomas on science. The main tenets of the Christian religion provided the Dominican scholar with an opportunity for critical assessment of various views of Aristotle and other Greek thinkers. As he built his system of metaphysical knowledge, Aquinas often spoke on subjects of nature and scientific methodology. His discussions reveal multiple religious influences and a religious inspiration to expand the fi eld of the human vision of the world while preserving the autonomy of respective sciences. Study of his views helps place the distinguished 13th-century author in the history of scientific development in Western thought.

https://doi.org/10.4467/24504564PMP.15.004.6668W artykule omówione zostały poglądy papieża Piusa XI w kwestii zasad katolickiego wychowania i edukacji, a następnie ujęcia te zostały porównane z refleksją polskiego jezuity o. Mariana Morawskiego. U podstaw tych rozważań leży tradycyjna, przedsoborowa nauka o państwie i jego relacjach z Kościołem. Analiza została przeprowadzona w oparciu o wybrane teksty źródłowe i ukazuje długie trwanie tradycyjnej doktryny Kościoła w czasach nowożytnych. Badania były przeprowadzone z perspektywy historii idei. Pius XI i o. Morawski bronili doktryny Kościoła i poddawali krytyce ataki na chrześcijaństwo, biorące się z idei rewolucyjnych i socjalistycznych.

„Una voce dicentes”. The Hierarchical Vision of Reality in the Tridentine Rite Mass and Its Theological Justification
The article uses characteristic examples to present a hierarchic order of reality as seen in gestures, acts, and prayers of the Catholic Tridentine Mass ritual, which was in use from the early Middle Ages (when it had developed this form in Western Church) until Paul VI’s reforms of 1969. This liturgy, recently (2007) appreciated by pope Benedict XVI and cleared for free use by priests as an „extraordinary form of the Roman rite”, expresses with great force, using a number of complex symbols, the Catholic vision of the natural and supernatural world. The various aspects of the ritual were grounded in acts of the Magisterium and in theologians’ writings as cited in notes.
