A CATEQUESE ANTROPOLÓGICA NOS MATERIAIS DIDÁTICOS DA EDUCAÇÃO CATEQUÉTICA DA DIOCESE DE GUARAPUAVA

Abstract

The objective of this work is to investigate the presuppositions of the anthropological catechesis organization model and its unfolding in the catechetical teaching manuals "Growing in Communion", "Seeds" and "Tracks and goals for catechesis", which are the most used teaching materials In catechetical teaching in the parishes of the Diocese of Guarapuava (PR). The analysis of these materials was based on the contents and procedures recommended by the anthropological catechesis, whose understanding presupposed the analysis of the conciliar documents that guided its elaboration and in the directories of catechesis created by the National Commission of Bishops of Brazil in the 1980s and 2000s. Research revealed that, although the anthropological model of catechesis was elected by the Catholic Church from the 1960s, its implementation process was outlined by ideological clashes between the progressive groups of people conservative of Catholicism. Such clashes are found in the discourses and organization of the contents of the catechetical manuals. The research revealed that, although the anthropological model of catechesis was elected by the Catholic Church from the 1960s, its implementation process was delineated by ideological clashes between progressive and conservative sectors of Catholicism.
