Tomáš Týn O.P., (May 3, 1950 – January 1, 1990) was a Czech Roman Catholic priest, professor of moral theology at Bologna and member of the Czech Dominican Province. == Biography == The Servant of God Tomáš Týn was a Dominican theologian born in Brno, Czechoslovakia on 3 May 1950, where he was brought up as a Catholic and an admirer of Saint Dominic. He was allowed to study in France, and later moved to Germany to begin his novitiate with the Dominicans on 28 September 1969 in Warburg in Westphalia, where his family came to escape the dictatorship in their country. He studied philosophy and theology at the ''studio Domenicano'' of Bologna, and was awarded a doctorate in theology from the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, ''Angelicum'' in 1978 with a dissertation entitled ''L'azione divina e la libertà umana nel processo della giustificazione secondo la dottrina di s. Tommaso d'Aquino''. On 29 June 1975 he was ordained priest by Pope Paul VI. He often spoke out against Communism, and said this opposition he felt for dictatorship had been the reason for his vocation to the priesthood, as he would later say in a homily on Fatima in 1987: “my vocation is due to Communism, thanks be to God”. In 1987 he began teaching Moral Theology at the Dominican "Studium" in Bologna, where he had been sent after his ordination to the priesthood. He was in epistolary correspondence with the then Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, who would later become Pope Benedict XVI. His first letter was written on 4 August 1985, feast of St. Dominic. Tomáš Týn wrote to Cardinal Ratzinger to pay him a compliment for his book ''The Ratzinger Report'' and to discuss the problems faced by the Church. Fr. Týn died on 1 January 1990 in Neckargemünd, Germany, close to his family. His tombstone bears the words from Psalm 42 recited at the feet of the altar in the Latin Mass: ''Et introibo ad altare Dei, ad Deum qui laetificat juventutem meam'.' The cause for his canonisation was initiated in 1991 by Carlo Caffarra, Cardinal Archbishop of Bologna. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tomáš Týn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
