Sport is a global phenomenon because it is made for human beings and has great power to bring people of all cultures and societies together. The points of connection between the Church and sport that would allow an active involvement of sport in pastoral care and evangelisation are being tried to find in the diploma work.
We try to give a holistic picture of sport. What an educational impact sport has, especially on young people. From the negative to positive consequences of professional sport, as well as the amateur game itself. Then we present the Christian vision of sport.
We briefly summarise the essential pastoral perspectives and challenges involving sport through two key Church documents in this area, Give your best and Sport and Christian Life. Finally, we present the current situation of sports and pastoral activities in the Catholic Church in Slovenia.
