Interpersonal forgiveness and meaning in life in older adults: The mediating and moderating roles of the religious meaning system
2021
Forgiving others may play an important role in achieving meaning in life as it offers a valuable platform for deliberate moral acts of acceptance of positive affect, behaviour, and cognition towards a transgressor. The aim of this paper was to analyse the relationship between forgiveness and presence, and the search for meaning in life, as well as the mediating role of the religious meaning system in this relationship among older adults. A total of 205 older adults, 112 women and 93 men, participated in the study. The mean age was 72.59. The Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivations Scale, the Meaning in Life Questionnaire, and the Religious Meaning System Questionnaire were employed …
Pave Frans – bedring, men ingen løsning for en kirke i krise
2020
Kritiske ytringer om pave Frans framsettes som regel på konservativt og tradisjonalistisk katolsk hold. Denne artikkelen sikter på å presentere en progressivt fundert kritikk av det nåværende pontifikatet. Frans krediteres for gode intensjoner, pastoralt lederskap og motstand mot klerikalistiske holdninger. Men da han ikke har maktet – og kanskje heller ikke tilstrekkelig klart ønsket – å endre kirkens utdaterte hierarkiske struktur, er han ingen løsning på de store utfordringene Den katolske kirke lenge har stått overfor. Artikkelen har et aktuelt og kritisk sikte, og den preges i større grad av normative vurderinger enn mange andre faglige bidrag i dag.
Anerkjennelse og menneskeverdets forankring : henimot en transnasjonal anerkjennelsespolitikk
2011
Anerkjennelse spiller en nøkkelrolle for menneskeverdet innenfor Frankfurterskolens kritiske teori. Men hvorledes skal «anerkjennelse» forstås? Og hvorledes kan anerkjennelse innløse menneskeverdets universelle og egalitære fordring? Jürgen Habermas' og Axel Honneths «familiekrangel» bidrar med relevant innsikt om relasjonen mellom menneskeverd og anerkjennelse. Dette er en innsikt med affinitet til menneskeverdets normative legitimering i dagens transnasjonaliserte verden.Nøkkelord: Menneskeverd, transnasjonal anerkjennelsespolitikk, Jürgen Habermas, Axel HonnethEnglish summary: Recognition and the Grounding of Human Dignity – Towards a Transnational Politics of RecognitionRecognition play…
The Donation Act of Hagi Constantin Pop’s Family for the Annunciation Church in Sibiu
2020
This article presents an important document relating to the history of an Orthodox church in Sibiu (Biserica din Groapă), whose construction was possible due to the support provided by the family of the wealthy Macedonian-Romanian merchant Hagi Constantin Pop, at the beginning of the nineteenth century. After a thorough description of the document, we will provide both the German transcription and the English translation of the text. The notes and comments that accompany the document are meant to shed light upon the historical context in which the church was raised and to emphasize the importance of the document, which is the oldest one preserved in the archives of the Annunciation Church. …
The body fables in Babrius, Fab. 134 and 1 Corinthians 12: Hierarchic or democratic leadership in crisis management?
2021
Body metaphors and body fables were frequently used in ancient discourse for social communities and politics. This article will examine a body fable by the Greek fabulist Babrius (Babrius, Fab . 134) that has been overlooked in research so far. It shows a remarkable similarity to 1 Corinthians 12 through the use of central terms such as σῶμα and μέλος or personified speaking body parts such as an eye and head. Even if no literary direct dependence is claimed, the text, which was written at about the same time as 1 Corinthians, sheds light on Paul’s understanding of the body fable. It becomes apparent, however, that the rhetorical function is fundamentally different in the two texts. Whilst …

Secular Re-symbolisation of the Santiago Pilgrimage in Spanish Cinema: the Case of The Way and Road to Santiago
2020
El estudio durkheimiano sobre la función social de la religión interpreta la peregrinación y el turismo como formas de movilidad mediante las que se lleva a cabo el tránsito de lo profano-cotidiano a lo sagrado-religioso. El turismo que recorre el Camino de Santiago hoy se cimenta sobre las rutas cristianas de peregrinaje surgidas en el siglo IX que tenían como destino la tumba del apóstol Santiago el Mayor ubicada en la Catedral de Santiago de Compostela. Desde finales del siglo XX las políticas institucionales orientadas a la promoción del Camino de Santiago han promovido una imagen secularizada del peregrinaje jacobeo que ha dado como resultado un espectacular incremento del turismo en l…
The origin, definition and nature of the transconscious in the spirituality of Father Stăniloae
2022
In his important work, Orthodox Spirituality , Father Dumitru Staniloae considers that, besides the real existence of the subconscious, there exists in man another reality as well, comprising the superior divine energies found in the human heart and which he defined by using the modern notion of transconscious or supraconscious. Contribution: The present study emphasises on the origin, definitions and content of this concept in the work of Father Staniloae and its great importance in defining a way to know God and his salvation works, from the perspective of an anchorite and Christian mystic, engaged in the existential tension of communion with God.

Tra mito e modello. Le cattedrali normanne nell'architettura religiosa del Cinquecento in Italia meridionale
2021
Talora ammantata da un alone mitico e sempre celebrata dalla storiografia di età moderna, la fondazione delle cattedrali al tempo della dominazione normanna costituisce per l’architettura religiosa in Sicilia un vero e proprio anno zero. Il primato nell’ambito della tipologia basilicale, per un verso, e il configurarsi come luoghi di attualità operativa, per altro verso, hanno fatto delle stesse i termini di riferimento privilegiati per l’architettura religiosa al principio dell’età moderna. Ciò si osserva, in particolare, in un’ampia e variegata casistica di chiese realizzate nel corso del XVI secolo, che ripropongono e reinterpretano temi compositivi e spaziali propri delle suddette catte…
