Book Overview
DOCAT is an outstanding resource to share the social teachings of the Church with today's young people
DOCAT is a popular book, written for young people, on the teaching of Jesus and the Church's social doctrine. With Pope Leo XIII's focus on Catholic Social Teaching, this is a great tool to equip your catechists, teachers, youth directors, and parents to form the next generation of the Catholic Church.
DOCAT guides young people in the formation of conscience on social issues and helps them know and live Catholic Social Teaching.
Key Features:
By dividing Catholic Social Teaching into 12 areas, it offers an approachable presentation of Catholic teaching on some of the most pressing social concerns of today's young people.
Using the popular Q & A format, YOUCAT style, it tackles tough questions and facilitates meaningful discussion about social justice and related issues.
It is perfect for youth groups, small group discussion, classrooms, and personal reflection.
DOCAT: What to do Study Guide provides lessons that can be taught independently, making DOCAT and the companion Study Guide a very flexible Social Issues teaching tool that can follow topics according to the Sunday Gospel or supplement an existing curriculum on Social Teachings of the Church.
Key Topics:
God's Master Plan: Love

Uses--Many of the YOUCAT books can be used as a primary text to guide an entire year of classroom instruction. The sequential progression of the material, mirroring the fourfold structure of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, makes it an easy-to-use text. However, the books are structured so that you can focus only on the key areas that you want to cover or learn about. The choice is yours.
