Summary/Abstract: Starting from the instructive-educational features of current catehetic activities, this paper aims to analyse the architecture of discourses, interactions and verbal means that stimulate argumentation in such contexts, from the multimodal, multichannel perspective of the catehetic medium. The corpus, comprising current Romanian spoken language, which presents the three facets of language: verbal, paraverbal and nonverbal, was put together by transcribing personal recordings taken in Vienna, Austria. It is analysed as a whole, based on the statuary and communicative features of these religious discoursive events, which, in turn, in various proportions, reach the four objectives of the catehetic speaker’s communicative intentions: to inform – persuade -convince - form a collective identity. The last one is strategically addressed, by stressing the feelings of belonging, by appealing to the collective memory and by stimulating its prospective function, through various discoursive means that define discourse as being identity discourse.
