W punkcie wyjścia, w świetle teorii komunikacji, zanalizowano instytucję Kościoła. Jego istota wyraża się w ściśle skorelowanych interakcjach o podwójnym charakterze: wertykalnym (łączność człowieka z Bogiem) oraz horyzontalnym (ludzi pomiędzy sobą). W perspektywie horyzontalnej, aktywność komunikacyjna poszczególnych instytucji kościelnych może być wzbogacana przez określone elementy teorii i praktyki PR. Kolejną część pracy zogniskowano na problematyce ich optymalnego wykorzystania przez instytucje organizujące dyplomację Stolicy Apostolskiej. Szczególnym przedmiotem eksploracji stały się te elementy strukturalno-proceduralne oraz kultury prawno-organizacyjnej, które rzutują na sposób adaptacji filozofii i strategii PR do dyplomatycznej działalności Stolicy Apostolskiej. Ostatnia część pracy została poświęcona na weryfikację wkładu PR w zarządzanie aktywnością kościelnej służby dyplomatycznej. Zadanie to zostało wykonane za pomocą metody studium przypadku. Analizami zostały objęte wzajemne stosunki chińsko-watykańskie (płaszczyzna bilateralna) oraz zaangażowanie przedstawicieli Stolicy Apostolskiej w przygotowanie i przebieg Kairskiej Konferencji Ludnościowej (płaszczyzna multilateralna).

the development of a developing country. Due to the range of difficulties in outlining the field of study, from the outset it was assumed that the pro-developmental
activity of Faith-Based Organizations (FBO) is carried out as an immanent part
of the socio-economic processes of development. As FBO insiders target a given developmental goal, they start to act upon the secular proponents which are
continually being reinforced from within the religious dimension. As indicated,
this leads to measurable goals (the results of state examinations)

One of these includes the intensive interactions taking place along the line sacrum – profanum which are aimed at the adjustment of ecclesiastical institutions to the rapidly changing realities of the modernised world. This article investigates the dynamism of these interactions in the light of the paradigm of desecularization which has emerged from them. In contrast to the previous secularization paradigm, this modified approach facilitates the development of a perspective which demonstrates, in a more balanced way, the two-sided relationships between the adherents of religion and the members of other segments of societal life, thus helping to redefine the concept of secularization. According to this newly developed view, religion still plays an important role as an institution which acts as a catalyst within the cultural-forming processes which determine the reality of human life within late modernity. However, in order to perform this role the Church’s institutions have to develop new ways of carrying out their mission, one of these being the missionary agency of the Roman Catholic Church based on the idea of inculturation.

Within the framework established by means of these many-sided relationships, there evolves a process for catalysing social and economic development, a process initiated by Church institutions. The development-forming impulses find their source in the transcendental strata of religious values and norms that are inculcated during the course of subsequent stages of the self-manifestation of the Church. These values and norms constitute the content of the religious message which, due to the changing temporal and spatial circumstances, become the subject of a special transformation, a transformation that aims at translating them into credible testimony. During this process, the abilities nurtured and cultivated by the members of the community are then passed on outwards into the wider social bloodstream, flowing through the network of social relationships that link them with members of the surrounding environment.

wyznaczają ramy refleksji nad stanem badań instytucjonalności Kościoła. Analizy niewystarczalności dotychczasowych ujęć potwierdzają konieczność wypracowania bardziej adekwatnej perspektywy badań jej poszczególnych aspektów. Perspektywę tę tworzą normatywne treści teologiczno-filozoficzne, definiujące zakresowy komponent pojęcia Kościoła. Z kolei empirycznie pogłębione opisy pojedynczych elementów tego pojęcia, dokonane w domenie nauk społecznych, doprecyzowują jego treściowy komponent. Umiejętne połączenie obydwu aspektów pojęcia omawianej instytucji umożliwia uzyskanie dogłębniejszego wglądu
w funkcjonowanie instytucji eklezjalnych, dzięki uwydatnieniu pierwiastka
nadprzyrodzonego jako składowej procesu społeczno-politycznego

Analyses revealing the insufficiency of approaches proposed so far confirm the need for a more adequate perspective of research into its individual aspects. This perspective is created by the normative theological and philosophical content which defines the extent component of the concept of Church. Empirically derived descriptions of the individual elements making up this concept, on the other hand, performed within the domain of social sciences, add precision to its definition content-wise. A skillful combination of the two aspects of the concept of Church offers a more in-depth insight into the functioning of ecclesial institutions by emphasizing the supernatural element as a component of the social and political process.

Thus, scholarly awareness of constitutive elements of the Church institution as well as theory and practice of public relations are seen as more mutually linked and inter-related. All of this can be seen as a component of ecclesia-forming processes. This study reflects the public relations ecclesia-forming potential; the goals are achieved through the research on a wide range of activities, such as spreading of a religious message, acts of religious cult, and charity agency.

is subject to a number of conditions. Th ey are primarily defi ned by the nature of
relationships and bonds uniting various participants of ecclesial community. Th ese
relationships are of dual dimension: vertical and horizontal. Th e fi rst ones constitute
the acts of direct communication between God and man. Th ey are however each time
preceded by a horizontally oriented exchange between the members of closer and
wider environment of the Church. Within this exchange, PR methods and means
are adapted to the pastoral activity of the Church. In turn, from the PR perspective,
the discussed process is conditioned by operationalization of various elements of the
Church mission in terms of PR goals. Moreover, by selecting optimal methods and
means of communication, the process takes into consideration the conditions of the
audience. It is also conditioned by the course of PR campaigns focused on getting
feedback, on the basis of which it is possible to prepare next stages of PR process.

The adequate description and elucidation of its empirically available religious elements become possible due to the employment of the network theory of the church by which it is assumed that, within the horizon of human relationships, there is formed a web of mutual interdependency and interaction through which suitable channels for the self-manifestation of the religious element are created. Just as this element is one of the key components of the motivation of individuals enmeshed within the networks of ecclesiastical bodies, so does it effectively influence their way of thinking and valuing that they start to act in pro-developmental modes. The study discloses the following dimensions of the transforming impact of the religious element upon secular activity: the activity aimed at ensuring the financial stability of the institution and optimizing financial outlay, the self-creation of the methods which allow the institution to compete successfully in the educational services market, the smooth transition from the fulfillment of the purely educational to the social functions. There are obtained within these areas the abilities, skills and virtues which can easily be transferred into the closer and wider environment of this organizational unit as the institution networks outwards into its surrounding environment.

The basic principle is centered on both the rightful delegation of power, from citizens to authorities, and the proper responsiveness of the ruling classes to the needs of its subjects. Along the lines drawn so far, the study springs from the conviction that the social legitimacy of Tanzanian governmental institutions can reinforce their competencies in launching development. However, a closer view reveals that, for the Tanzanian elite, this relationship is not obvious. This is evidenced, at least, within two related profiles of this system. First, from the view of the broad definition of a state, the disclosed mechanisms for the functioning of state institutions make it difficult or even impossible for politically organized citizens to influence the decision-making processes, including processes for the formation of laws. This is demonstrated by the example of homosexual people, perceived in the study as one of the potential pressure groups, whose interests lie abandoned by the legal regulations criminalizing homosexuality. Secondly, the analyses of those aspects of the system of social communication that refer to the discourse on homosexuality indicate functioning of analogous mechanisms. Namely, because of government communication policy, members of the broader society are not properly informed about the issues of homosexuality. Consequently, the overall legitimacy of the political system debases its ability to foster development. The study is based on secondary resources, including the Master Thesis of Claudia Gerard that includes a critical analysis of the public discourses on the social legitimacy of the legal status of homosexuality in Tanzania. Inside of these discourses, the analysis of the content of written press materials has been seen to be at the base of the problem.

The hypothetical world order has been based, thus far, on the supremacy of the unfolding of conditions for development that could not be provided hitherto by the efforts of the nation-state. This is why it can be the case that the development taking place within Africa can accelerate together with adduced political change. In principle, the method of the study, in its descriptive layer, is drawn from a range of empirical scientific disciplines to depict the outline of the processes leading to the loss of power by the nation-state, and the gaining of power by alternative sources of authority, and to depict development and underdevelopment spreading across Africa. In turn, its explanative layer consists of political normative theory, in the main, grounded implicite in its initial phase in Marxist based thought but, together with the flow of analyses, supplemented by liberal thought and the personalism of Catholic Social Teaching, also implicite. Its interdisciplinarity method is marked by both its analytic and synthetic nature. The conducted analyses effected confirm the possibility of more effective development in Africa under the legacy of a new order. However, pointing out the possibility does not equate with its materialisation, which is why the study is indicating the necessity for further research within the field, rather than predicting any concrete turn of events or specific results.

Tradycyjny ośrodek władzy politycznej, jakim jest państwo narodowe, wydaje się tracić swoją uprzywilejowaną pozycję w sprawowaniu pełni władzy politycznej. Inne ośrodki władzy politycznej, takie jak wielonarodowe korporacje, międzynarodowe organizacje rządowe i pozarządowe oraz mega-metropolie mogą być postrzegane jako potencjalne centra nowego porządku globalnego. Innymi słowy, mogą one zastąpić państwo jako niekwestionowane centrum władzy politycznej. Czy w przypadku opróżnienia przez państwo narodowe uprzywilejowanego miejsca i zajęcia go przez światowe mega-miasta, społeczeństwa dotychczasowych państw afrykańskich mogłyby liczyć na korzystną zmianę? Kierunek naszej analizy prowadzi do wskazania możliwości wprowadzenia istotnych zmian, instrumentalnych w pokonywaniu trudności rozwojowych, z którymi afrykańskie państwo narodowe nie zdołało poradzić sobie od zarania swojego istnienia.
