The Catholic Church is considerate of teachers who teach doctrines so that they can learn the theories and practices of psychology and pedagogy so that they can easily explain and proclaim the holy and profound doctrine of the Catholic Church. As such, we find evidence that acceptance and cooperation in the study of psychology and pedagogy to declare the core doctrines of the Catholic Church is inevitable and essential.
How and in what ways should the doctrine of the Catholic Church be proclaimed? It is necessary to order the disorder of the world through endless learning, constant prayer and God's help. Let's testify that the Catholic Church can talk to secular learning and systematically organize and convey God's mysterious love through its academic system.
Above all, the core and culmination of Catholicism, "practice of Christ's love," will be able to express "God's love" indirectly and more easily through the academic methodology of psychology and pedagogy, even if our believers do not directly reveal the expressions of "God" and "faith." No one can deny the need for education to grow and develop as we study and learn about the human mind. Therefore, we confirm that the Catholic Church must constantly communicate and cooperate with the world's disciplines (psychology and pedagogy) as follows, and we find grounded hope.

Moreover, they should take care that catechists be properly trained for their function so that they will be thoroughly acquainted with the doctrine of the Church and will have both a theoretical and a practical knowledge of the laws of psychology and of pedagogical methods.
Bishops should also strive to renew or at least adapt in a better way the instruction of adult catechumens.
