RT Article T1 Catèchistes en territoires de mission: Sèlection, devoirs et formation (can. 785 du CIC(83) JF Ius missionale SP 97 OP 134 A1 Ndiaye, Antoine Mignane LA French YR 2014 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1888957840 AB Catechists in territories of mission: selection, offices and formation (can. 785). In mission territories, we understand the essential role played by the catechists who fully dedicate themselves to the missionary work. This reflection is presented as a more practical analysis of the provisions of the Canon 785 of the CIC and also puts forth some suggestions so as to give a new impetus to this ecclesiastical service that is capable of contributing to that new evangelization of the young Churches which is much discussed today. Following in historical analysis and a more technical one of the aforementioned canon on the steps of other scholars, the author eventually highlights a more practical approach resulting from a field research in West Africa with special focus on the institutions devoted to the formation of pastoral operator - diocesan and inter-diocesan centres and schools for cathechists.
