Crkva u očima mladih

U ovom radu autorica, koristeći se rezultatima sociο-religijskih istraživanja o religioznosti adolescenata i mladih, razmišlja o odnosu mladih i Crkve i to pod vidom pripadnosti i identifikacije. Istraživanja pokazuju da je kod mladih sve izraženija parcijalna pripadnost, a u opadanju identifikacija s njenim temeljnim naučavanjem. Mladi se uglavnom osjećaju, a tako ih se najčešće i tretira, kao pasivni konzumatori crkvenih usluga. U tome se mladi u Hrvatskoj ne razlikuju mnogo od mladih u drugim europskim zemljama. No, bez obzira na to u očima mladih Crkva kao institucija još uvijek ima veliki ugled. Mladi Crkvu najviše doživljavaju kroz njeno socijalno, kulturalno i društveno zalaganje u konkretnom društvu, posebno na socijalnom području. Oni imaju dosta poteškoća u shvaćanju i prihvaćanju otajstvene dimenzije Crkve i zbog toga njihova slika Crkve nije uvijek cjelovita. U razmišljanjima mladih o Crkvi dominira subjektivizam. Autorica na kraju donosi nekoliko smjernica koje mogu pomoći u otkrivanju mladima pravog lica Crkve.

The research shows that a partial belonging to the Church becomes more and more present among youth, and that it is associated with the youth's decreased identification of with the Church's basic teaching. Young people mostly feel like passive consumers of Church services and are treated that way. In that regard, the author suggests, the Croatian youth are not very different from the youth in other European countries. However, regardless of this situation, the Croatian youth still views the Church as an institution with a good reputation. The young mostly experience the Church through its social and cultural engagements in concrete society, most particularly in the social arena. They have difficulties in comprehending and accepting the mysterious dimension of the Church, which is why their picture of the Church is not always wholesome. The youth's perceptions of the Church are dominated by subjectivism. At the end of the article, the author suggests some d
