PROBLEMATYKA NAUCZANIA HISTORII KOŚCIOŁA W SZKOŁACH ŚREDNICH NA ŁAMACH „MIESIĘCZNIKA KATECHETYCZNEGO I WYCHOWAWCZEGO”
THE PROBLEM OF TEACHING THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN THE PAGES OF THE “CATECHETICAL AND EDUCATIONAL MONTHLY”

Summary/Abstract: The teaching of Church history in secondary schools was seen as an extremely important educational area. A wide-ranging discussion on teaching methods and curriculum also touched on this issue, from postulates to introduce Church history as a separate subject synchronized with the teaching of general history, through the concern to weave as many historical threads as possible into the curricula of religion. A place for exchange of views and creative discussion was provided not only by conventions and meetings of methodologists and teachers, but also by periodicals, among which “Catechetical and Educational Monthly” played a significant role. The common denominator of all the discussions and analyses was the postulate that catechetical teaching should include topics related to the history of the Church because history is the teacher of life (historia vitae magistra est).
