Correlation of religion classes with other school subjects as discussed in “Catechetical and Educational Monthly”

Abstract

“Catechetical and Educational Monthly”, which had been published since 1911, was a periodical devoted to matters of teaching and religious education. Initially, it dealt mainly with issues related to school religion classes, as well as education, history of philosophy, theology, apologetics, archeology, contemporary literature and national-patriotic issues. From 1921, issues related to religious education, pedagogy, psychology, religious teaching and school chaplaincy were of the utmost importance. The richness of the subject matter presented by the journal also includes the extremely important postulate of teaching religion as correlated with other subjects. The aim of this study is not only to provide a selection and short analysis of individual articles that were published in “Catechetical and Educational Monthly” but also to draw attention to this important postulate as well as, in some sense, to encourage its continuous implementation.
