A few remarks on the Inedita Pseudo-Chrysostomic Homily De transfiguratione et eleemosyna (CPG 5009; BHGn 1996t)

2021

The article presents the preliminary results of the author’s study of the unedited homily De transfiguratione et eleemosyna (CPG 5009; BHGn 1996t), ascribed to John Chrysostom. The question of the manuscript tradition is first discussed. The article shows that Maurice Sachot is right when he indicates only the manuscript Romanus Angelicus gr. 125 (T.1.7) as a manuscript witness of this homily and that the other two witnesses indicated by Pinakes are erroneous. Then, the descriptions of the folios that preserve the homily are analysed in the light of a new examination of them. This re-examination shows that hitherto several sources that inspired the compiler have gone unnoticed. This is foll…

A juridical-canonical perspective of internal criticism in the Church: Act of service or treason?

2022

In the last decade, we have witnessed a progressive increase in criticism of the Pope, the hierarchy, and the Roman Curia from within the Church itself. In this context of growing contestation and polarization, this paper addresses the legal-canonical admissibility of internal criticisms of the Church hierarchy. To this end, after first delimiting the concepts of criticism and hierarchy, the normative framework applicable to criticism is then described. This framework is essentially composed of canon 212 § 3 (which recognizes freedom of expression) and the canons 209 § 1, 212 § 1 and 223 § 1 (which establish the duties of communion and obedience). Then, the opportunities and dangers of inte…

Identity Development in Adulthood: A Longitudinal Study

2000

Abstract Identity status interviews involving five domains of life (religious beliefs, political ideology, occupational career, intimate relationships, and lifestyle) were conducted with 249 women and men at ages 27 and 36. The results on overall identity and domain-specific identities confirmed our general hypothesis as to the strengthening of the commitment process: (1) stability was higher in the identity statuses involving commitment (identity achievement and foreclosure) than in the statuses not involving commitment (identity diffusion and moratorium); (2) an increase in the salience of identity domains could be attributed to an increase in the commitment process; (3) transitions into …

Identity Formation in Adulthood: A Longitudinal Study from Age 27 to 50.

2016

Longitudinal patterns of identity formation were analyzed in a representative cohort group of Finnish men and women born in 1959 across ages 27, 36, 42, and 50. The data were drawn from the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality. Identity status (diffused, moratorium, foreclosed, achieved) from all four ages was available for 172 participants (54% females). Marcia’s Identity Status Interview used in this research included five domains: religious beliefs, political identity, occupational career, intimate relationships, and lifestyle. The findings indicated great variability in identity status across domains at each age level, and the identity trajectories fluctuated from age 27 to 50. T…

Unwanted effects: Is there a negative side of meditation? A multicentre survey

2017

Objectives Despite the long-term use and evidence-based efficacy of meditation and mindfulness-based interventions, there is still a lack of data about the possible unwanted effects (UEs) of these practices. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of UEs among meditation practitioners, considering moderating factors such as the type, frequency, and lifetime duration of the meditation practices. Methods An online survey was developed and disseminated through several websites, such as Spanish-, English- and Portuguese-language scientific research portals related to mindfulness and meditation. After excluding people who did not answer the survey correctly or completely and those w…

Sense of coherence mediates the relationship between the religious meaning system and coping styles in Polish older adults.

2015

Objectives: The links between religiousness and coping are complex, and previous research indicates that they may be mediated by coherence-related structures. The aim of this study was to examine whether sense of coherence (SOC) is a mediator in the relationships between the religious meaning system and coping styles in Polish older adults. Method: In this study, 212 older adults (118 women and 94 men) participated. Their ages ranged from 65 to 79 years (M = 71.04; SD = 2.26). The group was a representative sample of Polish older adults in terms of social status, gender, and age. They completed three measures: the Religious Meaning System Questionnaire, the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-29)…

Religiosity, Meaning-Making and the Fear of COVID-19 Affecting Well-Being Among Late Adolescents in Poland: A Moderated Mediation Model.

2021

AbstractAdolescents have come to be greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing containment measures in recent months. The aim of the present study was to examine the relations among religiosity, meaning-making, fear of COVID-19, and subjective well-being within a moderated mediation model. Three hundred and sixteen late adolescents (173 women and 143 men) in Poland volunteered to take part in the study. The results show that meaning-making mediated relationships between religiosity and life satisfaction, religiosity and positive affect, and religiosity and negative affect. In addition, these mediation effects were moderated by the fear of COVID-19. Specifically, the indirect …

Lautsi contra Italia: sobre la libertad religiosa y los deberes de neutralidad e imparcialidad del Estado.

2011

RESUMENRecientemente, la Gran Sala del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos ha resuelto que la presencia del crucifijo en las aulas italianas no supone una vulneración del derecho de los padres a asegurar la educación de sus hijos de conformidad con sus propias creencias religiosas y de los deberes de neutralidad e imparcialidad estatal impuestos por el derecho de libertad religiosa. Con ello revocaba una decisión en sentido contrario de una Sala de la Sección Segunda del propio tribunal. En el trabajo se repasan críticamente los fundamentos de la decisión definitiva, basada principalmente en el reconocimiento de un amplio margen de discrecionalidad en la actuación de las autoridades nacion…
