Biskup jako pierwszy katecheta w diecezji

Abstract

According to Church documents, a bishop is obliged to proclaim personally the Gospel to the faithful. He has also the mission of bringing about and maintaining a passion for catechesis in his diocese by pertinent and effective organization. Therefore the presented paper first discusses the theme of proclaiming the Gospel, then touches the problem of managing the catechetical ministry by appropriate structures and appointed assistants, followed by the problem of the formation of catechists. The paper applies the method of analysis of the Church Vatican II and post-Vatican II documents. A series of conclusions and personal suggestions was presented, the latter – although based on the mentioned documents – still being rather propositions.
