(ALCUNI) ASPETTI CANONICI DEL CATECUMENATO
(SOME OF) CANONICAL ASPECTS OF CATECHUMENATE

Summary/Abstract: The catechumenate is a time of preparation for Christian initiation sacraments; the rich Christian life begins through them. The article analyses the contemporary canonical-legal situation of the Catechumenate in the Czech Republic. Moreover this article summarizes general law norms and analyzes the particulate law in Czech and Moravian dioceses. It concludes that the only diocese which has integrated the norms (Order of the catechumenate) nowadays is the Archdiocese of Prague. Other dioceses have only partial norms. Likewise, the article analyzes and proposes solutions to some problematic areas of the Catechumenate: an evidence of catechumens, an admission to the catechumenate, an order of sacraments of the initiation, two forms of the catechumenate (the one of adults and the second of minors – minores natu).
