| Summary: | The communist regime in Czechoslovakia belonged among the most repressive in the former Soviet sphere. It made efforts of ideological indoctrination of youth and used various means in order to isolate young people from the religious life. Solely after the changes in 1989 it is possible to organize structures of many-sided care of youth within the Churches. In the framework of the Catholic Church there belongs a great deal of merits to the Salesian Congregation which operated with youth in the secret structures already in the times of totalitarianism when the male Church orders were abolished. The Czech Bishop Conference established its Section for Youth, also the Church movements as Focolare or Charismatic Renewal take part on the care of young Christians. The care of youth exploits the possibilities offered by the canon law. A special attention is turned to the problem of quality of the Church music for youth. Also the Catholic Traditionalists, Greek Catholics, Orthodox Church and the other Christian Churches employ the religious freedom and establish various organizations for young believers according to the civil law and their inner church prescriptions. Le régime communiste en Tchécoslovaquie appartenait aux régimes les plus oppressifs de l’ancien bloc soviétique. Il tentait d’endoctriner idéologiquement les jeunes gens et employait différents moyens pour isoler les jeunes de la vie religieuse. C’est seulement après les changements de 1989 que l’on pouvait organiser dans les églises un soin complexe aux jeunes gens. Dans le cadre de l’Église catholique, de grands mérites dans ce domaine appartiennent à l’ordre salésien qui formait des structures secrètes concernant le travail avec les jeunes déjà à l’époque du régime totalitaire, où les ordres masculins étaient abolis. En ce qui concerne le soin pastoral porté aux jeunes gens, ce sont aussi des mouvements religieux, tels que focolari et le renouveau charismatique catholique, qui y prennent part. La prêtrise des jeunes gens exploite les possibilités que donne le droit canonique. Un accent particulier est mis sur le problème de qualité de la musiquereligieuse pour les jeunes. Ce sont aussi bien les traditionalistes catholiques, les grécocatholiques, les orthodoxes et d’autres confessions chrétiennes qui profitent de la liberté religieuse et fondent différentes organisations pour les jeunes croyants conformément aux préceptes du droit civil et leurs réglementations religieuses intérieures. Il regime comunista in Cecoslovacchia rientrava tra quelli più oppressivi dell’exblocco sovietico. Tentava di indottrinare ideologicamente i giovani ed usava diversi metodi per isolare i giovani dalla vita religiosa. Soltanto dopo i cambiamenti nel 1989 si poté organizzare nelle chiese un’assistenza multiforme dei giovani. Nell’ambito della Chiesa cattolica in tal campo ha grandi meriti la congregazione dei salesiani che creò strutture clandestine per il lavoro con i giovani già ai tempi del regime totalitario, quando gli ordini maschili erano soppressi. La Conferenza Episcopale Ceca ha costituito la Sezione per i Giovani, all’assistenza pastorale dei giovani prendono parte anche i movimenti ecclesiastici come i focolari o il Rinnovamento Cattolico Carismatico. La pastorale dei giovani sfrutta le possibilità offerte dal diritto canonico. Si pone un accento particolare sul problema della qualità della musica ecclesiastica per i giovani. Anche i cattolici tradizionalisti, i greco-cattolici, gli ortodossi e le altre confessioni cristiane fruiscono della libertà religiosa e fondano diverse organizzazioni per i giovani credenti attenendosi alle norme del diritto civile e ai loro regolamenti interni ecclesiastici. |
