Hornopotočná 23Pápež, ktorý zabránil vyplieneniu Ríma. Vstúpte do teologického sveta Leva VeľkéhoProrektor Trnavskej univerzity prof. Miloš Lichner, SJ napísal novú monografiu o jednom z najvýznamnejších predstaviteľov Katolíckej cirkvi, ktorý dostal ako prvý pápež prímeno Veľký. Patrón spevákov, hudobníkov a organistov Lev I. sa do dejín zapísal ako pontifex, ktorý ubránil Rím pred nájazdom Hunov. Významne však prispel aj do teológie tým, že potvrdil božskú i ľudskú prirodzenosť Ježiša Krista.
Emeritný prezident Európskej spoločnosti pre katolícku teológiu M. Lichner sa osobnosti Leva Prvého venoval niekoľko rokov. V novej mo...2022-06-2229 min

Deň so svätým a Božím Slovom18.2.2021 Náš otec svätý Lev, rímsky pápežRoky života: 400 – 461 1 Vyhlásený: 5.10.1754 – Benedikt XIV Sv. Lev Veľký sa narodil okolo roku 400 v toskánskej rodine v Ríme. O jeho mladosti nevieme nič. Za diakona bol vysvätený počas pontifikátu Celestína I. (422-432). Už ako diakon sa stal pápežským legátom v Galii. Počas trvania tohto úradu bol zvolený roku 440 za pápeža. Vo svete i Cirkvi vtedy vládol chaos kvôli početným herézam a nedorozumeniam medzi cirkevnou hierarchiou. Pápež sa všemožne usiloval kázňami a katechézami vychovávať tak duchovenstvo, ako aj pospolitý ľud. Snaži...2021-02-1706 min
