Sažetak

In this article, at seven complementary points, the current changes in the scientific-educational theological branch of religious Pedagogy and Catechisis are verified. Along the lines of relevant issues, the mentioned professions within the study at the Church institutions of higher education are analyzed. In the approach to this profession, first the change is pointed out; the changed approach is conditioned by the changed conception of catechesis which occurs due to the turn from catechism to catechesis. In that context we seek an answer to the question: how to become a Christian (today)? Considering the issue in contemporary changed conditions, in the integrity of service of the Word (Ac 6,4), the author first refers to evangelization which is inseparable from catechesis as its essential dimension. In this respect catechesis, with evangelizing dimension in raising awareness of the Church, becomes its primary mission and, in a systematic scientific analysis, it can be expressed as a range of tasks of contemporary catechetical research. One of the most relevant verified changes pointed out in the article refers to the distinction between catechesis as practice and Catechisis as a scientific reflection above the practice; in that context catechesis always precedes Catechisis, which scientifically analyzes it through its researches. With this task, in theological and pedagogical discipline with integrative method, a contemporary epistemological status of religious Pedagogy and Catechisis, as a university theological branch/profession, has shaped up. The article also discusses the issue of unacceptability of a (certain) contemporary tendency, i.e. that religious pedagogy distances itself from theology; the unacceptability of that tendency arises from religious-pedagogic and catechetic terminological system which, as concluded in the article, deserves greater attention of Croatian catechists.
