Baptism Forgotten by Secularised Catholics: a Fact and a Challenge

Jerzy Skawroń



Abstract

The spiritual richness and significance of baptism tends to be forgotten and downplayed due to the development of the ideology of secularisation. It encloses human life within earthly, material and consummers’ values. Christians are also prone to this lifestyle, forgetting their calling and identity. The negative impact is seen in the subejctive, psychological and objective treatment of the sacrament of baptism. In this way its supernatural mystery is lost. The spiritual awekening of the believers by means of the new evangelisation, explanation the mystery of baptism, models of saints, and remembering eternal life, becomes a challenge.

Keywords:

baptism, secularisation, privatisation of faith, individualism, spiritual awakening
