THE SIX TASKS OF CATECHESIS
The aim of this video is to explain briefly the six main tasks of catechesis. The six tasks, which have their source in Jesus, are aimed at the formation of a holistic Christian life. They are to help the learner:
1. To know the faith.
2. To celebrate the liturgy and the sacraments.
3. To live according to the values of Christ.
4. To pray.
5. To build communion with others.
6. To serve others.
They are the actions that catechists carry out in order to accompany learners towards an intimate relationship with Jesus and in supporting them to become part of a learning, worshipping, praying, and serving community.

JESUS is at the HEART of Catechesis

All authentic catechesis has to be Christo-centric. The document Catechesi tradendae (CT) promulgated by Saint John Paul II in 1979 makes it clear: “…at the heart of catechesis we find a Person, the Person of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Son from the Father… full of grace and truth”, who suffered and died for us and who now after rising, is living with us forever.” (CT, 5). That Christ is at the...

    Christianity today faces problems which are indicated rather than answered in the New Testament. Dogmas came to be es­tablished for just this reason, because of the constant demand for intellectual clari­fication. The question was: “What think ye of Christ?” But what good could come from the ‘clarifiers’ and establishers of dogma at the synod of Ephesus in 449 who, in fury, abandoned the discussion and went for each other with cudgels, until one party was defeated and accepted the ruling of the stronger party. The Church Assembly was terrorised by a crowd of fanatical monks, and brute force prevailed. That is why Leo the Great spoke of a “Synod of Robbers’. And there were other Synods during which the enraged Church Fathers threw copies of the Gospels at each others’ heads. The dispute concerning the status of Jesus Christ became particularly fierce when those Church Fathers who sided with Arius took a stand against the doc­trine of the Trinity, which was then being formulated. The dispute focused on an essential problem which the Church in those days had not yet clarified. While certain ecclesiastical authorities were at­tempting to establish the doctrine of the Trinity, Arius presented a different view: “The Father begat His only begotten Son many aeons ago, and through Him created the Aeons and the universe. The Son is begotten timelessly by the Father, made and created before the Aeons, not that he could exist before having existed, before having been begotten, but rather that it is He alone who was timelessly begotten be­fore all else.” (This is precisely the same spiritual teaching that we now receive through our divine messenger of truth.) Following this, Arius was branded as a heretic. Athanasius, his greatest antago­nist, was quite categorical in placing Christ on an equal footing with God, though this was not at that time a view generally accepted by the Church Fathers. The dispute concerning the Trinity be­came increasingly momentous. In his ‘Book of Heretics’, (Das Buch der Ketzer) the writer Walter Nigg has this to say: “Not only Bishops from different coun­tries but also the ordinary Christian people were deeply disturbed by this. Soon there was no single city or village in which ar­guments did not take place concerning the relationship between God and Christ. Families were bitterly divided, and there were many public scenes of violent up­roar. Christians fought each other in the streets on the issue of Christ’s divinity. They did not stop at injuring each other, and their monstrous behaviour brought Christianity into disrepute amongst the heathen, whose dramatists made fun of these events.” “The Emperor Constantine felt obliged to do something about this quarrel, and in order to resolve it he convened the Council of Nicea in June, 325. It was to be the Church’s first triumphant display - an event sure to impress those people who loved pageantry and liked to see Bishops in their finery.” “The false splendour”, Nigg continues, “soon faded on closer inspection. Even then, true Christianity was to be found with Anthony of Egypt in the dessert, and not with the well-dressed people in the king’s palace where the assembly was tak­ing place. There, braggarts pushed them­selves into the foreground, for at such meetings the participants would often scream at each other ferociously, not bothering to preserve their episcopal dig­nity. The Council Fathers were not con­cerned about mutual understanding, or the promotion of Christian brotherhood. Lacking understanding, many of the une­ducated bishops took to scheming, so much so that one eye-witness named that Council ‘The Synod of Perfect Fools’. Amongst the bishops, those who sympa­thised with Arius were in a minority, and when Constantine brought pressure to bear it was the central party, with its statement that Christ was to be seen as ‘One in essence with the Father’, that gained supremacy. Literal minded Christians should note that this statement does not originate in the Bible.” After this, Constantine exiled all bishops who were unwilling to give their assent to the new dogma. Commenting on this in his book “The Emperor Constantine and the Christian Church”, Edward Schwartz writes: “It was quite unheard of that a uni­versal article of faith should come into be­ing merely on the authority of the Emperor, who as a catechumen was not even admitted to the mystery of the Eucharist, and who had not the slightest right to take part in discussions concern­ing the most profound mysteries of the Faith. Yet not one Bishop dared to speak a word in opposition to this monstrous hap­pening.” The Council of Nicea gave assent to this dogma, not as a result of Christian delib­erations but through the force of imperial politics. It can hardly be called a sacred assembly. But since too small a majority had overpowered too large a minority, the resulting victory rested on a fragile foun­dation. Wishing to restore peace within the Church, Constantine sought reconcil­iation with the offended Arian bishops, even going so far as to recall Arius in or­der to recompense him for the injustice he had suffered. The Emperor gave Arius a gracious reception, but his command was not obeyed by Athanasius, the most pow­erful opponent of Arius, and the hoped-for reconciliation between these two did not take place. Not long afterwards Arianism was granted the status of a true doctrine; the opposition party was charged with heresy, and its leader, Athanasius, was ex­iled. However, before he could be officially installed Arius was poisoned by his oppo­nents, who openly rejoiced at what they had done. Even Bishop Athanasius stood by this deed, thus showing to what depths Christians had sunk in their doctrinal struggles. the final ratification of the Doctrine of the Trinity took place at the Synod of Constantinople in 553. In so far as we Christians think for our­selves and refuse to let ourselves be pre­vented from seeking the truth by a reliance upon dogmas thought up by human beings and argued about for centuries, we are following good advice: “Seek and you shall find!” We have found. But it often seems as though the world has to be put off with falsehood for a time because it is not yet ready for the truth. There is, nevertheless, a noticeable wave of interest in the religious quest, particularly amongst young people who are seeking truth and higher knowledge. The religious quest keeps humanity from lapsing into a sense of static finality. Arthur Brunner

    The way I understood this is that the images were a focal point. We were praying to the actual person in heaven. I have heard some say that the Crucifix, with Christ on it, was an icon of God. But, in actuality, it is the depiction of Jesus in His human form. There can be no pictures or engravings of God as no one knows just what He looks like.

      Well they are not usually actual gold but only colored that way. One way of thinking about it is that we are trying to convey that our LORD is worthy of the highest dignity and honor because he is our King. We help teach proper Fear of the LORD when we do this and people actually learn what we are doing. We need more of this not less for a society which wants to downgrade our LORD into meaninglessness.

Catholic-Christianity emphases "believing" the doctrines to obtain salvation but it cannot be proven except to say that the fourth century Church-State Theologians believed this and getting the common people to believe it brought enormous wealth and power to them in getting everyone to recite the creed in unison.
