PARISH PASTORAL AND CHALLENGES OF OUR TIME

Ovaj rad ponajprije raspravlja o župi općenito i u novijim crkvenim dokumentima. Potom se analiziraju postojeći modeli župe te se pokušava utvrditi, koliko oni zaista odgovaraju današnjim potrebama i načinu života u postmodernom društvu. Prikazane su prednosti i nedostaci sadašnjih modela župe i župnog pastorala. Na kraju se nastoji ocrtati model župe koji bi možda najbolje bio usklađen s današnjim vremenom i koji bi mogao pratiti na primjeren način suvremenog čovjeka (kršćanina) u njegovim aktualnim poteškoćama i potrebama.This work talks about the parish in general and in church documents. Then it analyses the existing models of the parish and tries to find to what extent they are really adequate to the current needs and way of life in the post-modern society. The work gives the advantages and disadvantages of the present models of the parish and parish pastoral. At the end it describes a model of the parish that might be the best in answering the needs of the present time and that could adequately follow contemporary man (the Christian) in his actual difficulties and needs
