The Council of Chalcedon from the point of view of Christian Orthodoxy and the Monophysite Coptic Orthodox Church.
David, Miloš ; Vopatrný, Gorazd Josef (advisor) ; Ventura, Václav (referee)
The thesis deals with the comparison attitudes of two Eastern Christian traditions - Orthodox and Coptic to 4th ecumenical council, which held in 451 in Chalcedon. The Monophysite, or Non- Chalcedonian, Coptic Orthodox Church regards it as return to the heterodox teaching called Nestorianism whilst Eastern Orthodox Church this council considers in accordance with the Orthodox doctrine. For Orthodox Christians Chalcedon represents the breakthrough for a refinement of the Christology, concretely in the doctrine about two natures - divine and human - in single person of Christ which the Copts regard as return to Nestorian heresy which due to its dualism interfered the integrity of the person of Christ. The thesis puts forward the insight into the Council of Chalcedon from both perspectives objectively. The thesis is based on authors which represent Orthodox and Coptic traditions but also on these who researched this issue solely from a historical-theological point of view. I have noted reasons - theological and non-theological - why the Copts reject to accept conclusions of this ecumenical council to this day, among other things. I have tried to point out that Monophysitism, or Miaphysitism - whose way the Copts follow - is not only a heretical teaching from the Orthodox theological point of view but...

The universal inclusivist soteriology (of Pauline type?) according to Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Novák, Petr ; Houkal, Jan (advisor) ; Bouma, David (referee)
This bachelor thesis elaborates the topic of ontological and functional significance of the person of Jesus Christ, according to French philosopher and scientist PierreTeilhard de Chardin. At present time, his theological contribution is appreciated by Pope Benedict XVI and Francis. But many of his thoughts and genial writings were censored and forbidden in the preconciliar Catholic discourse during his lifetime. All his major works were published posthumously. However, he still remains a controversial author. The study aims to assess whether it could be considered the functional christology of Teilhard de Chardin as the universal inclusivist soteriology of Pauline type. The basis and frame of reference for coparison are proto-Pauline epistles of The New Testament (especially Romans, First Corinthians and Philippians). The inclusivist concept of salvation in the works of Teilhard de Chardin can be come the starting-point for ecumenical dialogue between the Christian denominations that share the Apostle Paul. Keywords christology, inclusivism, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Saint Paul, soteriology

Klekerová, Vlasta ; Pospíšil, Ctirad Václav (advisor) ; Salvet, Ondřej (referee)
The Bachelor's Thesis "Virgin Mary in the work of Leo XIII" Pope Leo XIII. went down in history not only for his proactive approach to the field of workers' issues and also to the development of the political organization of the modern world, but also as the "Rosary Pope", author of encyclicals aimed at Rosary. Pope Leo XIII looks at the figure of the Virgin Mary with a special focus on her actions in history. In the first chapter of his work we will observe the life of Gioacchino Pecci, elected to the pontificate in 1887 and adopted the name of "Leo XIII". We will outline the course of national and world history of his time. The second chapter presents the contents of the Rosary encyclicas and letters in which the Virgin Mary plays an important role. We willsummarize all the Marian titles used these texts. The third chapter introduces the reader to the document of The Pontifical International Marian Academy Mother of the Lord. Memory - Presence - Hope. On the basis of this document from the Jubilee Year of 2000, the mariological works of Leo XIII are reflected, when we are at the same time taking into account the demands of contemporary theological in Mariology and Marian devotion.
