Kůdelová, Marie ; Jandejsek, Petr (advisor) ; Martinek, Michael (referee)
Zusammenfassung/Summary Die Bakkalaureusarbeit mit dem Titel "Synode über die Familie - die pastorelle Voranmeldungen für die zeitgenössische Familie" nähert die auf der Bischöfsynode der römisch-katholischen Kirche in Jahren 2014 und 2015 besprochenen Themen an. Sie erklärt die Stellung der katholischen Kirche zu den aktuellen Fragen, die die Familie in der heutigen Gesellschaft betreffen. Die Autorin beschreibt zuerst die Entwicklung der Familie in europäischen Bedingunden und zeigt manche Riffe, mit dieser Entwicklung verbunden. Daran bindet sie die Vorstellung den kirchlichen Dokumente an, die im Zusammenhang mit der außerordentlichen und ordentlichen Synode über die Familiepubliziert wurden. Der abschließende Teil resümiert Reflexionen den Laien und auch den Fachleute aus der tschechischen Umgebung und formuliert manche pastorelle Blicke. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit zeigen, daß gläubige Familien brauchen, von der Kirche ein echtes Interesse für ihre Situation zu empfinden. Der Blick auf die Familie in der Lehre der römisch-katholischen Kirche weist den Fortschritt insbesondere im Bereich der Pastoration den geschiedenen Personen aus. Die Autorin der Arbeit meint, daß ein entgegenkommender Zutritt zu den Leuten, die die Kirche noch vorhin für exkommuniziert gehalten hat, ist der Weg der Evangelisation.
