Sociocultural and informational transformations in the humanitarian sphere during global societal challenges

T he interest in human beings that the various sciences have today is also reflected in theology. It cannot be denied that human beings have always had a central place in the theological reflection on faith and have been the most important object of the Church‘s pastoral care. Nevertheless, theological efforts to focus on this concern, which brings together various theological treatises dealing with different aspects of creation and God‘s redemption, are relatively recent. The basic reason for this focus is that the one on whom God‘s work is focused is man: he is the center and summit of creation. This idea is confirmed in the present paper, whose author aims to show the universality of the Church in the context of her social and humanitarian education of man through catechesis. The latter also contains within itself a discal, i.e. didactic sense.
