Abstract

In the article there is presented the author’s review of the newly published monograph of the ass. prof. dr. Saulius Stumbra “The practice of Catholic religiosity and popular devotion. Educational aspects”. According to the author of this article, this monograph has raised up and has scientifically based the power of interdisciplinary educational interaction in the development of a young personality. But the most significant is that the priest-scientist perceives and proves that “it is important to ensure that the society of globalization today does not lose the elements of nationaltraditional culture, so that religion will continue to be significant, especially in the lives of young people, and so that it would be effective in the social, political and cultural spheres of a traditional and modern society”. S. Stumbra, the first in Lithuania, based on his research and that of other authors, argues that between the goals of religiousness and the virtuously achieving quality of life there is a positive strong direct connection. The author also presents evaluations of other monograph reviewers. According to Apostolic Nuncio Pedro Lopez Quintana, the work gets special value and meaning, because its purpose is “to examine Catholic religiosity in early youth and to demonstrate how practices of popular devotion can be applied in education and teaching of the catechism in early youth. The popular piety helps a simple person to find answers to the greatest existential questions relating to life, death, love, suffering and joy”. [...]
