« Confessioni vestrae nonnulla visum est addere, perpauca vero commutare. » L’approbation de la Confession de foi des Églises réformées de France, ma…
2019
Questo articolo analizza l'approvazione della Confessione di Fede durante quello che viene chiamato il primo sinodo nazionale delle Chiese Riformate di Francia, tenutosi a Parigi nel maggio 1559. Secondo la storiografia, i pastori riuniti a Parigi avrebbero modificato e promulgato il testo della Confessione da una bozza redatta e inviata ai parroci da Calvino. In questo articolo Gianmarco Braghi avanza l'ipotesi che nessun testo preparatorio di Calvino sia mai stato inviato al sinodo per l'approvazione. D'altra parte, un documento parigino, l'epistola-confessione Au Roy, scritta nel settembre 1557, servì da base per il testo della Confessione. Inoltre, nel maggio 1559, Calvino non si oppose…
FAMILY LAW, RELIGIOUS MARRIAGE AND SHARIA COURTS IN WESTERN SOCIETIES. ONE COMPARATIVE INSIGHT ON THE ENGLISH MODEL
2017
Liberal versions of multiculturalism suggest the need to adopt legal solutions to the recognition and support of minority groups, thus the recognition of cultural or collective rights, which must meet though certain limitations and precautions to protect the freedom of individuals within groups. On the judicial level, this may mean that the courts, in applying the law, take into account foreign standards, as well as principles and rules of its domestic law to assemble a third concrete norm, new with respect to the rules and principles of the systems considered. In this study the issues outlined so far will be addressed by analysing, in short, the role and influence of the Sharia Courts and …
Cysterska i jezuicka wersja śląskich Litanii o św. Barbarze
2020
St Barbara is a patroness saint deeply ingrained in the culture of Upper Silesia. It was chiefly the 19th century that was deciding in this respect, since the process of linking the martyr-woman to the miners’ occupational group was concluded then. The miners’ community played a significant role in the socioeconomic and identityrelated character of the region. Consequently, the cult of St Barbara started to be grafted onto this land towards the end of the 17th century, mainly as a result of founding religious fraternities under the Saint’s vocation by monastic orders already based here. The process of accretion of fraternities aiming at religiousness and piety was connected with the plan of…
Religioznyj stil’ v slavânckoj teolingvistike
2020
At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, the main threads of research in Slavic theolinguistics were emerged, one of which was the study of religious style. Linguists in Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Ukraine pay special attention to this issue. This article provides a brief overview of the given problem. These studies have both common points and differences. This is explained not only by the various confessions associated with specific languages, but also by the linguistic traditions that have developed in each of these countries.
The correlation between right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation: The moderating effects of political and religious identity
2008
In a secondary analysis performed on a representative sample of the Italian population (N = 887), we examined the correlation between right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO), analyzing the moderating effect exerted on such correlation by political interest and religion importance. RWA and SDO showed a positive, significant correlation (r = .38), moderated by political interest (which heightened it) and religion importance (which lowered it). Limits, implications, and possible developments of the research are discussed.
I like You Even Less at Christmas Dinner! Prejudice Level as a Function of an Approaching National or Religious Holiday

In many conducted psychological studies, it has been demonstrated that attitudes towards minority groups can change under the influence of electoral campaigns, as well as terrorist attacks, or stre...
Religion and Social Integration ‘Crises’ in North Western Europe: Some Conclusions
2013
My investigation of religion-related social integration crises in four North West European societies in the period 2001–11 began with the English case and the riots in some Northern English cities of 2001. In concluding I shall start again with this case, bringing it together with the Dutch, French and Northern Irish evidence we have now considered, and with my findings across each of the dimensions examined (segregation, media, institutional forms of multiculturalism and secularism, far-right and post-liberal mobilisation and national cultural trauma). Since much attention has been given to factors which shape conflict and influence the construction of prejudice, and especially to the nega…
An Institutional Perspective on Religious Freedom and Economic Growth
2017
AbstractThe increase in religion-related conflicts around the world emphasizes the urgent need for a better understanding of the role of religion and religious freedom on socio-economic development, both theoretically and empirically. While studies on the role of religion on economic development have existed as early as Weber (1905), there is a dearth of studies on the effect of religious freedom on economic growth, and the existing studies overlook possible negative impacts on economies by unrestricted religious freedom. Drawing on institutional theory, we propose that different types of religious restrictions can exert either positive or negative effects on economic growth. We test our pr…
Transnational monasteries: The economic performance of cloistered women
2015
Monastery research not only throws light on little-known aspects of Christianity in Africa, but also can make an important contribution to the understanding of the processes of social change and debates on globalization in African societies. The contemplative orders develop alternative economic forms, interact with their local environment, and build transnational networks or integrate into them. They emerge as local and transnational actors, change in the course of these processes, and contribute to the social change in the societies in which they participate. This interaction is the focus of the article, which is based on the analysis of a case study, a Benedictine abbey in Koubri, near t…
Interrelationships Among Identity Process, Content, and Structure: A Cross-Cultural Investigation
2003
This study was designed to investigate hypothesized relationships among identity process, content, and structure with youth living in three different cultural contexts: the United States, Finland, and the Czech Republic. Results indicated that youth who used an informational identity processing style had well-structured identities that were rooted in personal self-elements. Youth who used a normative processing style also had well-consolidated identities but ones anchored in collective self-elements. Youth who relied on a diffuse/avoidant identity processing style lacked firm identity commitments and emphasized social self-components in defining their sense of identity. This pattern of rel…
