INEQUALITY OF EDUCATIONAL PRECONDITIONS AS A CHALLENGE TO THE PRACTICE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN THE PANDEMIC TIME

Abstract

The consequences of the social and health crisis, associated with the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, affect all areas of human life and activity, including the processes of Christian initiation of children and youth. They, already in need of revision, have been questioned again in the past year and a half with several aspects. The pandemic, that is, the circumstances that arose in dealing with it, changed the established models of catechesis, but it can also become a turning point for its revision. It is only necessary to enter the process of reading the signs of the times and notice the challenges that follow in the process of looking for answers. The paper focuses on a challenge that we consider crucial - inequality of (pre)conditions. He points to the need for a polyendric shaping of the evangelizing mission of the Church and facing some concrete tasks.
