| Summary: | The present contribution intends to formulate seven propositions on sacramental youth catechesis that can be considered viable for the future of religious congregations. Its starting point is the humanisation of the young person in a Christian perspective in confrontation with the dynamics of Roman-Catholic sacraments. The research question is this: How can these sacraments still function and inspire young people in a modernized society? The propositions are rooted in modern Roman-Catholic theology and constitute a platform for discussion designed to explore the limits and possibilities of catechesis in Flanders and the Netherlands (Western-Europe). The ultimate challenge is to cope with the dialectic between the religious homelessness of young people on the one hand and the narrative and sacramental richness of the Christian tradition on the other. These propositions were generated in the confrontation between well-considered praxis (De Lange) and practical-theological research (Roebben). |
