New Directory: Summary and Implications
New Directory: Summary and Implications
November 19, 2020
7:30pm - 8:30pm
In June 2020, The Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization released a new Directory for Catechesis.
The Directory reaffirms that science and technology are at the service of the person and should be directed towards improving the living conditions of humanity.
It proposes that catechesis should be directed towards educating people in the proper use of the digital culture, which has both good and bad elements. Catechesis should also focus on helping young people distinguish truth and quality amid the “culture of the instantaneous.”
Other themes highlighted by the Directory include the call to a “profound ecological conversion”. Catechesis promotes this conversion through attention to the safeguarding of creation and the avoidance of consumerism.
It also highlights that catechesis is to inspire labour according to the Social Doctrine of the Church with special attention to the defense of the rights of the weakest. In addition, it encourages the development of catechetical material produced on the local level and organization at the service of catechesis including the Synod of Bishops and Episcopal Conferences.
And so much more...
This is the final in our series, led by catechetical experts from around the country, to learn more about the Directory and its implications for teachers, parents, priests, and catechists.
