State and prospects of catechumenate

Alojzije Čondić ; Katolički bogoslovni fakultet, Sveučilište u Splitu

Sažetak

Many issues have been afflicting contemporary pastoral and
one of the major ones is the “creating” of new Christians, as it
implies a lot of other pastoral issues that cannot be solved at one
go. Among these is the need for catechumenate in contemporary
church and social circumstances as well as the issue relating
to the form of parish pastoral work. All this together refers to
the issue of having a feeling for the Church and the Christians’
courage for proclamation. In that sense the author of the article
first presents the historical role of catechumenate, then in
the first part he discusses the meaning of catechumenate, the
attitude of the Second Vatican Council to catechumenate, and
the book of rites Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (hereafter
RCIA) and also the catechumenate in the documents of the
Croatian Bishops Conference. Since one can notice the lack
of sufficient evaluation of kerygma in the believers’ church
awareness, the author explains its pastoral significance. In the
last part the author presents the relation between the parish
community and catechumenate.
