Many parents complain about the difficulty of educating their children in the faith, but the difficulty in transmitting the Christian values \u200b\u200bto the younger generation should be located in a cultural context wider.
Today everything seems difficult, nothing is more secure, everything is debatable (relativism), it is difficult not only the transmission of faith, but in general the transmission of a tradition, a culture or ideology.
interesting about this study anthropologist Margaret Mead to the effect that there would be young in three categories of learning:
· the learning from their parents as they learned from grandparents
· the learning not from their parents and grandparents even less, but who is their equal or similar, that is, comrades, so not from the cultural past, but this cultural life by the group or gang of friends, the television or the fashion of the moment;
• Finally the category in which the parents are not considered suitable, because the inadequate transmission of traditions, as less "date" on the new technological frontiers and cultural.
But in addition to the difficulty of learning involving different generations, we must certainly add another element relevant, which concerns that the social patterns of households in the aspect of Christian identity.
Here are some examples that describe somewhat different reality:
· There are families who keep their Christian identity. Parents and care about religious sensibilities of the Christian education of their children;
· other in which one spouse has religious sensitivities (usually the woman) and the other not. In these cases, religious identity, a few rare exceptions, slowly, it is growing weak, rising by degrees from a state of indifference to the detachment from real life Christian
· Families in which both spouses have moved away from religious practice and indifference live now fixed. The religious aspect is almost totally "excluded" from the house. It appears only in certain circumstances: the baptism of his son, First Communion, when children participate in catechesis or take home a 'matter of religion to study or questionnaire to fill out.
o then there are those families where both parents take a negative attitude towards the religious and exclude their children for any Christian initiative. In these circumstances, the religious aspect seems to be the subject of criticism, attack or hoax.
• Finally there are families with problems such serious, the religious aspect is so-called "parked" or "suffocated" (crisis with separation of the spouses, total lack of dialogue, economic problems, serious disputes with their children etc ...).
a conclusion to our analysis, will certainly have to worry about and unfortunately, we have to record that the Holy Mother Church today seems pretty far behind the expectations of a society in continual ferment. It not only is called to give responses appropriate and timely, but also to play its leading role it deserves, especially having the courage to review and change the old strategies and teaching methods.
Therefore, all together - Each for their part - we help the Church to rediscover its new face, which reflect today's blurred overlaps the image of him that the brilliant wizard, supporting them in moments of difficulty and measures of gifts over the centuries.
The bride on the way to her husband, at that already and not yet the heavenly Jerusalem.
