Abstract
(en) The dissertation consists of three parts. The data collection and processing of the reflection on the formation provided in the last decades reveals the difficulty to bring about changes in the training practices, as a result of the opposition between doctrine and experience, between institution and the individual but a quest for a new, less notional, more relational link to theological knowledge seems to emerge. Using the catechetical paradigms by Denis Villepelet to decode the debate allows a better insight into the training practices in the second part of this dissertation. The analysis reveals internal tensions in both programs examined: The “Formation des Responsables” balances the intention to make everybody responsible for their own faith with the concern for doctrinal coherence; the Institute for practical theology hesitates between more professionalizing approach and the wish to take part in shaping the Church actors’ inner life. In both cases, this implies a difficulty to leave space for the subject’s experience. The review of the normative foundations of the two projects shows that they both aim at mastering reality, preventing a more relational approach to theological knowledge. The third part of this dissertation puts forward new ways to break the deadlock. Following Paul Ricœur and Denis Villepelet, it shows that the contents of faith can provide, just as the narrative, space for self-comprehension. Emmanuel Durand’s input presenting doctrine as salvation acts from God to mankind offers the possibility to consider it a support for the subjectivity of their own belief. Other contributors confirm that the link between theological formation and shaping of the subject’s inner life is pastorally and theologically relevant. The relational approach to theological knowledge emerging from these contributions can be used for the building of the subject.
