    To co wydaje się krańcowo teoretyczne, w rzeczywistości jest krańcowo praktyczne. Teocentryzm w katechezie osób z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną
    Kiciński, Andrzej (Wyższe Seminarium Duchowne Diecezji Siedleckiej im. Jana Pawła II, 2008)
    Theological vision of the Divine Revelation, as well as, God’s Word are of significant importance for catechesis for persons with intellectual disability. After the Second Vatican Council the intellectualistic concept of the Revelation based on the model of authoritative transmission of truth, within ecclesial awareness, was abandoned. Today the models of existential, personal, Christological and historical vision are widely approved of. The Church has never questioned the fact, that the disabled persons constitute full members of the congregation, however, the matter concerning the participation of persons with intellectual disability within the Church has been only partially mentioned as far as the contents of the Church teachings are concerned. Nevertheless, the catechesis in Poland was never confined to what it has already achieved in the past. In fact, catechesis in Poland is being systematically developed by means of broadening its notion as well as its pedagogical fundamentals, through choosing the proper language together with new methods used for creating its contemporary modern concept. Catechesis, while searching for new methods, attempts to conquer, on one hand obsolete habits and routines, which contribute to the appearance of indifference and other type of obstacles, and on the other, reckless improvisation, which leads to confusion within the souls of catechised children and their parents, and, consequently, results in making different types of mistakes. The Church, as it used to do during previous epochs of its history, still continuous to search for new ways and so it attempts at introducing modern rules to the catechetical process, being guided by wisdom, courage and loyalty to the Gospel. Catechesis for persons with intellectual disability consists in accompanying those persons while they are entering their way of Christian life. Catechist, following the primary rule of loyalty to God and to man, may choose to apply proper methods originating from special pedagogy, however, he should always keep in mind, that using the achievements in the didactics will not release him from considering the pedagogy of God. Modern catechesis for persons with intellectual disability in Poland should focus on an attempt to integrate the impact it has on persons with school, parish community and – most of all – with the family. It is worth emphasizing, though, that “integrated” should not mean “placed within” school, for instance, but rather combined by means of mutual relations, which would reflect love, allowing for recognising the pupils of Jesus Christ. It is worth remembering, that God is not an abstract phenomenon, He is Alive, and we make relations with Him. In this case our reasoning ability constitutes rather a relative issue. Person with intellectual disability should not be perceived as unwise and deprived of any ability of abstract thinking. We should appreciate such an extent of those abilities, as this person is actually capable of. This is the evangelical ministry for disabled persons, which aims at encouraging them not to lose their gifts, but rather to multiply them, as every man, intellectually disabled as well, received those gifts straight from God.
