Teaching

from the Catholic School Religious Education Curriculum Evaluation Matrix by Brian Lemoi


"All of these tasks are necessary. As the vitality of

the human body depends on the proper function of

all of its organs, so also the maturation of the

Christian life requires that it be cultivated in all its

dimensions: knowledge of the faith, liturgical life,

moral formation, prayer, belonging to community,

missionary spirit. When catechesis omits one of

these elements, the Christian faith does not attain

full development.

General Directory for Catechesis, paragraph 87
