“Person” in the Law of Religious [Institutes]

The emphasis on the human person and his dignity was significantly applied in the new regulation of the law of consecrated life, which is dealt with in the new Code of Canon Law of 1983 in integrum compared to the previous Code of Canon Law of 1917. This paper describes only some of the changes in the law of religious institutes in the Latin Church.The first section regards mainly the person who has taken religious vows and focuses on the question of religious vows as the basis of religious life. It also discusses confessors viewed as a necessary tool for the renewal of religious life as well as modifications in the concept of poverty as a very important element of religious life. The second section focuses on the government of religious institutes, discussing the strengthened position of internal superiors over external superiors in religious congregations, the strengthened position of the superior of monasteries of nuns, and the extended powers of superiors on release from a religious institute due to illegitimate absence from a religious house.As this is in some cases a very recent legal regulation, the author does not hesitate to express his critical observations.

Публичное и частное в философии религии Ричарда Рорти

The article covers the religious conception in the work of the famous American philosopher Richard Rorty. The author emphasises the secular and finalist views of R. Rorty on the nature of religion, and on the philosopher’s gradual perception of the need for their creative reinterpretation due to the actualisation of the role of religion in intellectual and political spheres. The article uncovers two fundamental constituents of Richard Rorty’s religious philosophy. The first of them is associated with R. Rorty’s perception of the ‘weak thinking’ concept in the writings of Italian philosopher Gianni Vattimo. R. Rorty holds ‘weak thinking’ and ‘kenosis’ to be the key to understanding the possibility of religion in the postmodern era. The second aspect concerns the existence of religion in the public space. Here the distinction between ‘strong’ narratives and ‘weak’ thinking correlates with the politically significant distinction between ‘strong’ religious institutions and private (parish, community) religious practice. Rorty believes that the activity of ‘strong’ religious structures threatens liberal ‘social hope’ on the gradual democratisation of mankind. The article concludes that Richard Rorty’s philosophy of religion presents an original conception of religion in the context of modern temporal humanism; the concept positively evaluates religious experience to the extent that it does not become a basis for theoretical and political manipulations on the part of ‘strong’ religious institutes.

Perceived Satisfaction of Teachers about Practices of Leaders of Religious Institutes to Promote Peace Education

Practices of the leaders of religious institutes are fundamental in promoting peace education as their practices leave an immense impact not only on the perceptions and practices of teachers but also of the students regarding peace education. The beliefs, interests, inclinations, moral values, and competency of institutional leaders are reflected in policies they make and are presented in the practices of teachers. Owing to the importance of their practices aimed to promote peace education, there is a need to identify the extent of these practices as they are perceived by direct stakeholders, that is, teachers, which makes the aim of the current study. This research is a quantitative survey-based research. The population of this research includes the teachers of religious education institutes of Lahore. Cluster sampling method was used for the selection of sample. Data was collected from the teachers teaching to final year students and a total of 292 teachers participated in the study. A self-developed instrument was used to collect data. The instrument was based on the factors of peace education and practices used to promote them from the literature. The instrument was pilot tested and the validity and reliability of the instrument was established that was 0.87. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicated that teachers were satisfied with the practices of the leaders of religious institutes aimed to promote peace education. This study may help the academicians, practitioners, and policymakers to promote peace education in all schools of Pakistan.

The attitude of the urban population to religion institution (on example of Dagestan).

The growth of importance of religious component in modern Russian society caused growth of interest to the problem of religiosity and its different types taking place in different social groups as well as defining place of religion as marker of self-identification of individual. The problem of religious tolerance among followers of dif-ferent religion is also actualized. In this context we must define degree of loyalty to reli-gious organizations for example to Religious Organization of Muslims of Daghestan (ROMD). According to the results of the research it is found out that mass consciousness of citizens is characterized with low level demonstration of loyalty to both representatives of their religious society and most important institute of Islamic clergy – Religious Organization of Muslims of Daghestan. The monitoring research of degree of loyalty to cult organizations constants that there is significant decline of part of respondents demonstrating positive attitude and estimation of activity of religious organizations and clergy and there are objective and subjective reasons for above mentioned conclusion. Moreover it is found out that there is lack of balance between interests of believers to realize their religious obligations and active religious behavior at the same time. Lack of loyalty to religious institutes is caused by the fact that they disagree with orientation of clergy to participate in different social activities and it causes protest of the society.
