The teaching of the Decalogue was one of the major biblical sources the 16th century reformist people adopted to defend their new religious movement against the Medieval Catholic tradition. In particular, when Martin Luther led a new protestant church, he wrote a clear commentary of the new faith in the form of two catechisms in 1529. The Small Catechism was for training of children. The Large Catechism was an institutional manual for pastors or teachers. The German reformer independently applied the Exodus version （20：17） of the Decalogue in the Large Catechism. Then, how did Luther use the Decalogue in the light of his reformation campaign？ How has his metaphorical discourse been revealed on the Decalogue？ This paper explores the textual genre and historical context of the Reformation teaching in unveiling Luther＇s religio-political intention over the authority and power of the traditional papacy.展开更多

Concomitantly, within communication, the number and variety of opinions tend toward infinity. In this cultural context, a Deontology of Opinion is both possible and necessary. The first part establishes the theoretical frame of the issue on four axes： （1） the historical fate of Opinion; （2） the fundamental and specific Functors; （3） the relation between Certitude, Conviction, and Credence; （4） correctness, the second part presents 10 Deontological Rules of Opinion （out of the 18 possible）; and （5） it is a Code based on 10 Rules thus, a Decalogue. The Code presents each Rule, both in its positive （must） and negative （~must） form. Rules are first enunciated and then explained and illustrated. Being also a theory of Opinion, the paper can be considered a Meta-opinion. It can have four finalities： （1） one, purely theoretical, to be included among similar papers in the field; （2） a methodological one as it offers reference points for the elaboration of particular Deontological Codes; （3） a scientific one offering the background for sociologic researches of Opinion; and （4） an educational one aiming at forming correct （optimum） Opinions in various fields.展开更多
