Abstract :
En quoi les dynamismes profonds de la catéchèse et ceux d’Internet peuvent-ils se féconder: sous l’angle de la relation et du réseau, sous l’angle du langage et particulièrement de celui de l’image et sous l’angle du contenu. L’art très ancien que l’Église connaisse, la catéchèse, et la technique la plus innovante de ce XXIe siècle, Internet, peuvent se féconder au service de la recherche de sens et de l’annonce de la foi, dans la perspective de la pédagogie d’initiation que les évêques de France ont choisie comme paradigme pour notre temps.



The development of a new dynamic of the Internet networks at the French bishops’ conference has led to the launch of the site www.catéchisme.catholique.fr. The question arises: can we do catechesis via the Internet? But the French initiative does not take that approach. Rather, it aims at developing networks of relationships for people seeking information as well as for those responsible for catechesis. This is how the contours of this article are defined. How can the profound dynamics of catechesis and those of the Internet cross-fertilise each other: from the perspective of the relationship and the network, from the point of view of language and in particular of that of the image, and from the standpoint of the contents. Catechesis, that very ancient art of the Church, and the most innovative technique of the twenty-first century, the Internet can bear fruit in the service of the quest for meaning and the proclamation of the faith, within the context of the pedagogy of initiation that the bishops of France chose as their paradigm for our time.
