Abstract
Catechesis and religious education are two ways in which the ministry for the education for
the faith is exercised, but within different physical contexts and with interlocutors coming from different
backgrounds. Moreover, both catechesis and religious education share the same contents, which
are passed on to the interlocutors. This paper seeks to shed some light on the relationship between
catechesis and religious education, in terms of their being distinct but at the same time complementary
to each other. In this pursuit, we put forward arguments from both directions, those in favour of considering
Catholic Religious Education and catechesis as identical and those viewing the two as distinct. The
aim is to highlight the specific mission and role of each in education for the faith of the contemporary
human being.
