Summary/Abstract: The crisis of Pastoral Theology in Romania is unanimously confirmed by the fact that professors of other theological academic disciplines have come to take a very critical stand against the former, assessing that the manner of approaching and handling the problematics specific to the traditional Pastoral Theology is outdated, „improvised”, „superficial”. The discipline itself was categorized by researchers from fields close to the Pastoral as „nonscientific”, and as having „stale” subjects of interest.
