Zadania katechetyczno-duszpasterskie wskazane przez ks. Franciszka Blachnickiego w Katechumenacie na dzisiejszą godzinę. Spojrzenie w perspektywie minionego półwiecza

Abstract

In the first part of his paper the author refers to texts by father Blachnicki which were published in Tygodnik Powszechny in 1973. This inspired a wide-ranging discussion on an actual condition of the Polish Catholicism. Referring to results of a sociological research on Polish religiousness made by father Piwowarski, Blachnicki pointed at weaknesses of a traditional ministry and existing forms of catechesis of these times. At the same time he suggested four major directions of a renewal in the conciliar spirit. According to Blachnicki the said measures should be taken to reach the following aims: renewal of catechesis, renewal of Polish families, organization of a catechesis for the grown-ups and a renewal of a liturgy. In his paper the author tries to look at the said issues in a spirit of pastoral and scientific searches of father Blachnicki. The aim is to look at the range of topics from a contemporary ministry perspective and point at the tasks which, in spite of genuine efforts of the past years, still call for their final accomplishment.
