Si vanno intensificando le discussioni, spesso polemiche, sul problema della presenza dei cattolici nel mondo della « scuola » e, in particolare, dell’insegnamento religioso nella scuola pubblica. Sembra opportuno offrire in proposito qualche ulteriore elemento di chiarificazione e avanzare qualche riserva circa determinate posizioni, venutesi a creare nello stesso campo cattolico.

L’idea di questa indagine è nata nel contesto della preparazione dei « Colloqui Salesiani » di Bratislava (agosto 2003).
Per trattare il tema Le religioni in una società multiculturale in rapporto alla situazione attuale dell’Europa sono d’obbligo alcune premesse. Innanzitutto la constatazione della complessità della «realtà Europa», che è impossibile «penetrare» con una breve riflessione. Continue reading “Enrica Rosanna – “Le religioni in una società multiculturale” in “Proporre la fede nella cultura contemporanea. Riflessioni salesiane””
The original Dutch study of The Magna Carta of the salesian education consists of two volumes. The first volume contains comments on the first part of manuscript D (Ms. D) with the text for the teachers and assistants at Valdocco. Some years later Fr. Gaston Deneve, SDB finished the second volume, commenting on the second part of Ms. D with almost the complete letter sent From Rome on 10 May 1884 to the boys at the Oratory in Valdocco, and offering further considerations concerning both parts.

In questi ultimi anni è più volte tornato alla ribalta il dibattito sulla scuola cattolica e, quasi in parallelo, quello sulla contrapposizione di istruzione e educazione, in particolare con riferimento alla scuola.

In Don Bosco’s educational system preaching has special importance, both that which is bound up with the liturgical or catechetical context, and that of the informal, familiar kind. The saint often addressed the community of young people with brief and fervent talks aimed at stirring up their emotions, nurturing their minds, encouraging good resolutions and devout sentiments, and looking ahead to stimulating horizons.
Christian education of youth in popular works with a markedly missionary character like the Oratories on the outskirts of Turin, frequented by boys who were mostly abandoned and uneducated, required processes that were gradual and geared to each one’s possibilities. The Companion of Youth offered a complete but essential proposal adapted to everyone. Starting with this, Don Bosco used the sacrament of penance, personal chats, suggestions of optional and practical devotions and offered books to read and meditate on. He set up personalised processes which were more adapted to youngsters who were more capable of greater moral and ascetic effort.

St John Bosco’s correspondence mirrors his manifold activities as a promoter of educational and welfare type work, publishing and missionary enterprises. Also documented is the broad network of relationships he had built up. His letters are those of a man of action, the tireless organiser, avid communicator, religious founder and a passionate animator of Catholic initiatives. Little space is given to spiritual aspects which he prefers to deal with in preaching, personal talks or in the context of the Sacrament of Penance.
The first edition of Il giovane provveduto (in English The Companion of Youth) appeared in 1847 and was Don Bosco’s greatest publishing success. The year he died it had reached its 119th edition. It was reprinted with minor adaptations until 1961. It is also the book which Don Bosco most liked and constantly recommended.
L’attenzione ad attualizzare continuamente il sistema preventivo mettendolo in dialogo con i mutamenti socioculturali e con le esigenze educative dei giovani dei diversi contesti è un compito prioritario per l’Istituto delle Figlie di Maria Ausiliatrice (FMA).
Aujourd’hui, la question est souvent posée: est-il encore possible qu’un éducateur du XXIe siècle puisse se référer à un pédagogue du XIXe?

Dopo aver delineato brevemente il contesto storico e sociale del Mezzogiorno d’Italia per il periodo preso in esame, si accenna alle linee fondamentali del rapporto cattolicesimo e «mondo moderno» tra Ottocento e Novecento e dell’educazione cattolica fra tradizione e innovazione. Su questo sfondo storico culturale, infatti, si è sviluppata anche la prassi educativa popolare di don Bosco e della congregazione salesiana.
