Abstract

We are tempted to make a hierarchy of disciplines, both in pre-university education, but sometimes even in university. Usually, the emphasis is on the disciplines in the real area, to the detriment of those in the human area. We go further and do the hierarchy in the same area and we have the feeling that physics is more important than mathematics, or chemistry is more valuable than technology and so on. As for the humanist side, philosophy and political science have long surpassed linguistics and history. In this context we ask ourselves: where is the place of theology or religion? To what extent can religion or theology contribute to the completion of the profile of the new man? As the importance of the spiritual component in the formation of young people is increasingly relativized and diminished, to the detriment of the somatic one, we wonder if religion was not misperceived and taught. This is why we would like to proclaim the truth about Christianity, which we should discover as clean and clear as spring water, in the discipline taught in schools.

Highlights

Today's world could not move forward without education! its forms of relativization are multiple
The authors did not ask the question of finality, so what did the students want to achieve by going through those textbooks ?! the contents were part of the seminar textbooks, which aimed to train the future servants of the holy altars, or the goal proposed by the discipline Religion, taught in pre-university education, could not be identical! The contents had to be adapted to another objective, because in preuniversity education the students were not preparing to become priests, but good Christians
The pedagogical vocation could turn young graduates from information providers into artists and modelers of Christian characters! after three decades of teaching Religion in pre-university education, without generalizing, there are many young people who did not approach the Church, but on the contrary. This is a natural consequence of the fact that the discipline of Religion did not reach its goal, but, through the dense contents in information and the lack of vocation of the teachers, it managed to cultivate the repulsion towards the Church! The fact that even in the School Religion was and still is viewed with restraint, and the specialized teacher sometimes feels awkward, not to mention that he lives in an inferiority complex contributed to the situation we live in today!
