Pastoral theology and learning aids WT-R-TPNP

http://hibru06

Students will learn about the problems of theses being written and those already written in the seminar, they will also present their own attempt to review a paper they have read, which will help them to present their specific field of interest. Students will prepare and refer to the seminar the results of their research in the field of their chosen thesis topic. The seminar will also discuss thesis and dissertation plans. Students will successively present successive chapters and paragraphs of their thesis, with the supervisor providing consultation and specific guidance and correcting shortcomings. Students will also learn the principles of creating individual and team research projects that meet the requirements of competitions organised by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the NCN and the NCBiR.
On the content side, the seminar in pastoral theology and auxiliary sciences will discuss topics related to ecclesial theory and practice. The main aim of the study of pastoral theology is to develop principles and criteria for the pastoral activity of the Church in the context of history. Ecclesiology makes it possible to define a theological model of the Church based on the results of the study of systematic theology and the results of the study of the secular sciences. The originality of pastoral theology stems from its focus on ecclesial practice. By combining theory and ecclesial practice, the pastoral model of the Church makes it possible to show the daily life and mission of the Church in supernatural and human aspects.
The theological-pastoral reflection, which aims to create a pastoral ecclesiology, has three objectives to fulfil. The first is to know the Church which, in the various forms of activity (pastoral practice) carried out individually or collectively at different degrees of structural organisation (parish, diocese, episcopal Church - Church in the State, universal Church), fulfils the salvific mediation. The second aim is the study of the human being whom Christ calls to participate in salvation and the building up of the kingdom of God in the world. Knowledge of the Church and of man is the basis for the development of theoretical and practical models, which is the third aim of pastoral theology. It has the status of a full-fledged theological discipline because it draws from the faith the principles and criteria of the Church's pastoral activity in history.

Preliminary Requirements

Theology develops a theory that helps the Church to dialogue with the world and must seek answers to the most important questions posed by modern man, both believers and those seeking their way to God. Pastoral theology therefore draws on the achievements of the humanities, as well as the natural, exact and social sciences, such as biology, psychology, sociology, pedagogical sciences, legal sciences. Theological-pastoral research also draws on philosophy, the psychology of religion, the sociology of religion, pastoral medicine, as well as communication theory, social cybernetics, media theory and practice, as each of these branches of knowledge helps to understand the human being and to adapt to his needs the methods and means of the Church's pastoral activity. However, these are only auxiliary sciences, so the entire burden of research to develop ecclesial theory and practice for the Church's educational function rests with pastoral theology. Contemporary pastoral theology makes it possible to interpret the whole reality theologically, with its splendours and shadows. The main task of pastoral theology is the formation of a pastoral ecclesiology that aims to create a picture of the Church living and acting in the world. whose characteristics are not only "changeability" but also "permanence and continuity". Among other things, the new formulation of ecclesiology demands that the principle of the relative autonomy of earthly reality be taken into account, as well as the related humanisation of the world, the source of which is the dignity of man redeemed by Christ. Man learns about this dignity from the Gospel proclaimed by the Church.

The student should also demonstrate the ability to conduct research queries and be able to categorise the bibliographic material collected. The student shall be able to identify the main research objective of his/her research work and be able to indicate its validity and originality.
