Abstract
Fra Bono Shagi is one of the contemporary Catholic theologians who, although
they did not pursue an academic career, made an important contribution to theological
science. His writing activity was focused on the analysis of current ecclesial-
pastoral practice and the situation in society. The dominant point of view from
which he observed them was of a spiritual nature: he questioned how much current
pastoral practice builds more mature persons and better communities. In this sense,
he published a textbook for a two-year programme of the general education section
at the "Institute of Christian Spirituality", where he taught for ten years, under the
significant title: "Pastoral care as a place and space of spiritual growth." Considering
the fact that he held the Council's emphases and guidelines to be providential for
the modern reform of the Church and its pastoral engagement, in his reflections he
offered numerous encouragements on how to better implement them in ecclesial
pastoral care for the good of the Church and society.
Keywords
