Abstract

In the last decades of the 20th century, European catechesis experienced great and profound successes changes. The kerygmatic movement has brought us the conviction that catechesis, in order to be able have its true identity, it should assume the clearest biblical dimension, that is, the openness to God living and present in the life of men. Instead the so-called „anthropological turn” sought to underline the importance of the human dimension, the principle that would result in a profound sensitivity to all the most valid moments in the whole of human and Christian existence. From these two in the seventies the double catechetical principle was born: „the faithful catechesis to God and faithfulness to man". In Poland, the first to make it known to all catechists was don Roman Murawski SDB, professor of catechetics at the Academy of Catholic Theology in Warsaw (today University of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński). Explaining it in his articles, he managed to create a vast interest, so that today it is known and used in catechesis.
