- Abstract
- During the last few years, the situation of the Catholic Church within Western societies has been radically shaken. The Christian can no longer live as though he were in a context of Christendom. The ideal of Christian life has itself been affected and has led to a new perception of the << good Christian >>. An empirical study in French-speaking Belgium has shown that priests do not have the same common goal of pastoral care shaped by the ideal of a << good Christian >> to accompany. A rereading of a model established for catechesis (A. Fossion) allows one to define this pastoral finality as a series of competencies to be acquired. These changes bring about a rethinking of the ministry of the priest which is henceforth characterized by: team-work, communional pastoral care, faith recentred on Christ the crucified and glorified Messiah with whom the Paschal crossing of each individual and collective crisis is possible.
