"No methodology, no matter how well tested, can dispense with the person of the catechist in every phase of the catechetical process. The charism given him by the spirit, a solid spirituality and transparent witness of life, constitutes the soul of every method. Only his own human and Christian qualities guarantee a good use of texts and other work instruments.”
