A quarter-century-old publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church in the context of Polish catechesis

Summary/Abstract: The article undertakes the issue of the reception of a normative document such as the Catechism of the Catholic Church in the sphere of Polish catechesis during the last twenty five years since its publication. Therefore, it will be shown how this proven and exceptional tool of ecclesial communication became a catechetical instrument of the Church in the work of evangelisation. The article will include the facts on the basis of which the Catechism revived the catechesis of children, adolescents and adults, inspired academia to conduct new scientific research and awakened the consciousness of the Church in its mission in the world, becoming a tool of religious education. The attempt will also be made to demonstrate that the Catechism has really been popularised, not only promulgated. The article is concluded with postulates for even deeper use of the Catechism in the religious education of a catechetical community in the future.
