Abstract
Among the many issues related to priesthood, questions often arise about how the Church prepares pupils/students for priestly service, what this formation involves and who is responsible for it. The article attempts to answer these questions from a historical perspective. It begins by presenting the idea of seminary life and the beginnings of the institution of theological seminaries. Then it discusses the decision of the Council of Trent, which obliged the Church to establish theological seminaries in all dioceses. The next stage in the education of the clergy was introduced by the document of the Second Vatican Council, Optatam Totius, which defines the nature and mission of a priest. It obliged local churches to develop their own Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis. The Polish Ratio Fundamentalis drew its inspiration from this document. The analysis of the new Ratio for Polish seminaries developed in 2021 concludes the latest stage in the history of clergy formation.
在与圣职有关的诸多问题中,经常会出现这样的问题:教会如何培养学生担任司铎,这种培养包括哪些内容,由谁负责。本文试图从历史的角度回答这些问题。文章首先介绍了神学院生活的概念和神学院制度的起源。然后,文章讨论了特伦特大公会议的决定,该决定要求教会在所有教区建立神学院。神职人员教育的下一阶段是由梵蒂冈第二次大公会议的文件《Optatam Totius》引入的,该文件界定了神职人员的性质和使命。该文件要求地方教会制定自己的 Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis。波兰的 Ratio Fundamentalis 就是从这份文件中汲取灵感的。对2021年为波兰神学院制定的新Ratio的分析结束了神职人员培养历史的最新阶段。
期刊介绍:
Published since 2002, "Verbum Vitae" is issued biannually by the Institute of Biblical Studies of the Faculty of Theology, The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Poland. Each issue of the journal includes scholarly articles dedicated to a specific biblical theme and presented in three sections: (I) Old Testament, (II) New Testament, and (III) Patristics and the Life of the Church. The final "Life of the Church" perspective tries to broaden out each issue''s given topic into its multiple connections and implications, mostly dogmatic, moral, pastoral, liturgical, or sociological. The forth section of the journal always consists of reviews of recently published monographs and collections on biblical themes. Because of the journal''s interdisciplinary character, it seeks to include among the contributors not only biblical scholars but also theologians of various specializations.
