Postconcillar directories for catechesis in comparison
MATYSKA, Stanislav
The aim of this thesis is to find out whether and how the concept of catechesis / catechization has changed since the Second Vatican Council until today based on the analysis of three catechetical directories. These are specifically the General Catechetical Directory (1971), the General Directory for Catechization (1997) and the Directory for Catechesis (2020). These directories were analyzed using the MAXQDA program, using content analysis and then compared with each other based on seven established categories: the concept of catechesis / catechization, catechist, addressee of catechesis, contents and topics of catechesis, tasks and goals of catechesis, methodological and didactic recommendations and social context. The thesis also briefly discusses catechesis in general the definition of catechesis and its importance for the life of the Church, and the history of catechesis is also briefly outlined the development from the early church, through the Middle Ages and modern times, until today. It was found that the directories differ from each other rather formally but are very similar in terms of content. The newer directory is always based on the older one. The first directory (1971) is based on the request of the Second Vatican Council. In the second directory (1997) the Catechism of the Catholic Church is discussed, and new topics are the inculturation of faith, evangelization, missions and the role of the family in the transmission of faith. The third directory (2020) takes over these aspects and adds new, current topics, which are primarily globalization, digitalization, kerygma and, for example, orientation towards individuals, care for the poor or the importance of dialogue.
