Paweł Włodkowic and his Tractatus de potestae papae et imperatoris respectu infidelium (Treatise on the Power of the Pope and Emperor Respecting Infidels) presented during the Council of Constance (1414-1418) are the symbols of fundamental for shaping Polish political and social thought focused on the rights of people, their natural inclinations to forming communities subjected to natural law and the law of nations. At the same time, the context of the announcement of his dissertation evokes the greatest diplomatic victory of Poland in Europe at the turn of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, connected with the pivotal for the peaceful functioning of Central Europe conflict of the Polish-Lithuanian union with the Teutonic Order, whose representatives sought to convert the gentiles by force, and in practice often exterminate them.

 In the linguistic and substantive manner proper for that period, the scholastic treatise considers questions fundamental and universal for political and religious communities, which boil down to the following issues: Where is the boundary between the just and unjust use of force? What is the significance of the national right to freedom, existence and self-determination for the international peace? Today, we can consider Paweł Włodkowic’s thought from the perspective that allows us to appreciate that this way of thinking eventually created conditions for the emergence of the modern concept of human rights and religious tolerance.

Reinforcing the pragmatic and specific political goals that Włodkowic has faced with the original, humanist-Christian approach supported by the highest, in that historical period, scientific and intellectual standards has resulted in presenting the whole of Europe with such ideas that today can be appraised as Polish contribution to development European thought in the fifteenth century and that preceded Francis of Vittoria, one of the fathers of international law, by one century.

    Thinking with St. John Paul II. JP2 Lectures 2022/2023

    We invite the greatest thinkers of our age to participate in the JP2 Lectures cycle. In dialogue with St. John Paul II’s thought, they reflect on both what is intriguing and vibrant in his legacy and on what is particularly important, beautiful, and difficult in today’s Church and world. The order of the texts in this volume reflects the sequence in which the lectures were delivered during the 2022–2023 academic year within the JP2 Lectures series.

    The third volume of the JP2 Lectures begins with a lecture by Joseph H. H. Weiler, who scrutinizes the attempts at de-Christianization of Europe. Next, Vittorio Possenti analyzes John Paul II’s personalism and discusses challenges facing the contemporary humanities; Mirosława Grabowska presents conclusions from studying the process of secularization in Poland and around the world; Antoine Arjakovsky looks at the Russo-Ukrainian War from the perspective of John Paul II’s encyclicals; Helen Alford O.P., explores the crisis of Europe in the context of Catholic social teaching. Dariusz Karłowicz analyzes the sources of the contemporary political crisis and recalls several solutions to similar problems in ancient history. Rusty Reno addresses the question about the role and duties of Christianity in today’s polarized world. The volume concludes with an essay by Franciszek Longchamps de Bérier, who deals with the issue of dignity of the human person in light of Roman law.
