Abstract(s)
A partir do desafio constatado no Diretório da Catequese de 2020, segundo o qual as redes sociais digitais estão a promover uma alteração não só cultural, mas antropológica, este texto discute o modo como a educação da fé pode realizar a sua missão, sem esquecer que a fé é sobretudo uma relação de amizade com Deus. Reconhece-se que graças à plasticidade do cérebro, este deixa-se influenciar e moldar pelos comportamentos e ambientes em que se vive. Com isso, surgem alterações cognitivas que se manifestam nas modificações na perceção, na atenção, na memória e no pensamento. Aliás, o papa Francisco já o tinha denunciado ao dizer que, «não favorecem o desenvolvimento da capacidade de viver com sabedoria, de pensar profundamente, de amar generosamente» (Laudato Si’, 47). Para que a educação da fé possa dar uma resposta cabal, importa assumir alguns desafios e recursos da tradição cristã: deixar de se concentrar nas respostas e fixar-se nas perguntas; centrar-se mais nas pessoas que nos conteúdos; e, por fim, privilegiar a narração mais que a explicação das ideias.
Starting from the challenge noted in the 2020 Directory for Catechesis, according to which digital social networks are promoting not only a cultural but also an anthropological change, this text discusses how faith education can carry out its mission, without forgetting that faith is above all a relationship of friendship with God. It is recognized that thanks to the plasticity of the brain, it allows itself to be influenced and shaped by the behavior and environments in which we live. As a result, cognitive changes arise, manifested in changes in perception, attention, memory and thinking. In fact, Pope Francis had already denounced this when he said that, “they do not favor the development of the capacity to live wisely, to think deeply, to love generously” (Laudato Si’, 47). In order for faith education to be able to provide an adequate response, it is important to take on some of the challenges and resources of the Christian tradition: stop focusing on answers and focus on questions; focus on the person rather than the content; and, finally, focus on narrating rather than explication of ideas.
