the teach ing of Christian doctrine. Many legionaries are
involved in the work of the Confraternity and the Legion
fully endorses their work.
It is important to note that the teaching of christian
doctrine is for all age groups and for all levels of education as
Bl. John Paul II points out. (CT 16)
“I am anxious to give thanks in the Church’s name to all of you,
lay teachers of catechesis in the parishes, the men and the still more
numerous women throughout the world, who are devoting
yourselves to the religious education of many generations. Your work
is often lowly and hidden but it is carried out with ardent and
generous zeal, and it is an eminent form of the lay apostolate, a form
that is particularly important where for various reasons children and
young people do not receive suitable religious training in the home.”
(CT 66)
“The third lesson is that catechesis always has been and always
will be a work for which the whole Church must feel responsible and
must wish to be responsible. But the Church’s members have
different responsibilities, derived from each one’s mission. Because of
their charge, pastors have, at differing levels, the chief responsibility
for fostering, guiding and co ordina t ing catechesis. For his part, the
Pope has a lively awareness of the primary responsibility that rests
on him in this field: in this he finds reasons for pastoral concern but
principally a source of joy and hope.” (CT 16)
