The Catechetical Review - Communicating Christ for a New Evangelization

Cómo utilizar el YOUCAT

Authored by Bob Rice in Issue #32.3 of The Sower
En el 2003, tuve el privilegio de asistir a una conferencia del Cardenal Schönborn, Arzobispo de Viena, quien tuvo un papel importante en la redacción y la edición del Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica. Lo recuerdo comentando que los que habían participado en la creación del CEC se sorprendieron por lo bien que se vendía, especialmente entre los fieles laicos católicos, ya que su redacción se destinaba principalmente a los obispos, los sacerdotes y los catequistas que trabajan con ellos. En mis tiempos de encargado de grupos juveniles, trabajé incansablemente para poner el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica en las manos de todos los jóvenes que yo pudiera. Lo convertí en un regalo de Confirmación, un regalo de graduación, o lo regalaba durante los retiros. No pretendía que un joven lo leyera del principio al fin, pero por lo menos que tuviera algo donde encontrar las respuestas acerca de su fe, especialmente, cuando se iban de casa a la Universidad. Si estuviera hoy en la pastoral juvenil, yo le daría a cada joven su ejemplar del YOUCAT en lugar del CEC.

The problem here, though, is that Jesus isn’t only a wise teacher. To be his disciple requires something more. At the Great Commission, when he charged... Read more
Marian Devotion and the Renewal of Church Life
By John C. Cavadini
Free What happened to Mary? This is a question that could easily occur to anyone reading through 20th-century theology. Marian theology up to the 1960s was vibrant and flourishing. Fr. Edward O’Connor’s 1958 magisterial volume The Immaculate Conception (recently re-released by University of Notre Dame Press) seems to sum up an era. The lively essays... Read more
The Witness of Mary: A Portrait of Doctrine
By Sean Innerst
In Evangelii Nuntiandi (EN), Pope Paul VI, of sainted memory, said something that has become almost a banner that we fly above our apostolic work today, both in our evangelization and our catechesis. “Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses.” [1] This is...
