The Catechetical Review - Communicating Christ for a New Evangelization

La catequesis de jóvenes y jóvenes adultos: Partiendo desde la educación hacia la transformación

Authored by Bob Rice in Issue #31.1 of The Sower
San Juan Bosco, el santo patrón del trabajo con la juventud, era conocido no solamente por la manera en que les enseñaba a los niños acerca de la fe, sino también por la manera en la que les formaba en su fe.

Sabía que el conducir a los chicos hacia la santidad requería un ortodoxo plan de estudios. Y vio además que se requería de otras cosas.

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...
