Religion Curriculum
 “It is necessary, therefore, that religious
instruction in schools appear as a
scholastic discipline with the same
systematic demands and the same rigor
as other disciplines. It must present the
Christian message and the Christian
event with the same seriousness and the
same depth with which other disciplines
present their knowledge.”

Why base a curriculum
around the six tasks?
Why base a curriculum
around the six tasks?
 “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…
When catechesis omits one of these
elements, the Christian faith does not attain
full development.”
