Pedagogic coordinates in the care of sick under the Religious Orders with Hospitality Vow

Abstract

Objective: To explain the ideological and formation coordinates in the care of sick under the Religious Orders with Hospitality Vow.

Method: Historical documentary and gadamerian.

Results: The sources we studied inform us that care provided to the poo r and sick is under ecclesiastic control, contrasting with the r e form world in which Religious Orders are abolished. The dogma, which emanates from the Trent Council, and which refers to the Salvation of the Soul through the actions, is the pedagogic postulate for the ideological and formative coordinates of care, wherein a propaedeutic intention, not beyond the monastery, characterizes the care providers consecrated to God by means of their Solemn Vows.

Conclusion: We have been able to verify that, through the study of the Rules and Constitutions of the main religious Orders with Vow. of Hospitality, the pedagogic coordinates related to people in charge of care are ecclesiastic and based on the Tridentine dogma, which states that actions, and not only faith, are necessary for Salvation of the human Soul. This is why the development of this Charity-inserted activity does not assume an intention to settle as an “office-profession”. This results in an epistemic obstacle.
