Il Figlio è «homooúsios del Padre» e «nato dal Padre». Analisi di alcuni testi biblici che esprimono questa realtà dogmatica in altri termini

Is Jesus Christ God or not? This is the great dilemma that has kept many people’s minds and hearts burning in the centuries that followed the appearance of Arius’ teaching in the 4th century. This article aims to analyse some biblical texts that support and express in other terms the truth proclaimed by the Council of Nicaea in 325 that the Son is homooúsios with the Father and is born of the Father, but not before briefly presenting the teachings of Arius.

Zenon Grocholewski: Verità e libertà. Un problema fondamentale

In the allocution presented in the occasion of receiving the title of Doctor honoris causa from the University „Al.I. Cuza” of Iaşi, his Eminence Card. Zenon Grocholewski analyzed the fundamental problem of today’s society, the one of truth and liberty. In the beginning, the author notices that man, by his unique nature, aspires to these two great values, interconnected values, because the fidelity to truth determines the exercise of liberty, and this not only theoretically but also practically, in action, fact that leads to conquer the true human and social progress. Our model, worthy to be followed is Jesus Christ, the fulfillment of truth which liberates man. As the author mentions, Christian freedom assumes two valences: to follow the Christ and vivere in conspectu Dei. After analyzing liberty in the relation with the law of Decalogue, the Cardinal Grocholewski presents the figure of the Christ, who is truth, love and the new law for umanity; that is why only the Eucharist is the „food for the hungry man seeking for truth and liberty”.
