The European Union has 27 Member States. In 8 EU countries religion lessons are obligatory in public schools and in 15 they are optional. In 6 EU countries, religion can be an elective subject for the maturity exam. The teaching of religion only in some countries, such as Poland recently, is at the crossroads of intersecting ideological influences and the Churches’ concern for the full education of the young European. A scholar who made a significant contribution to the understanding and identity formation of the teaching of Catholic religion in Europe, and especially in Italy, was Emilio Alberich Sotomayor SDB. His publications of educational, and therefore cultural, significance have helped to characterise the teaching of Catholic religion as an academic discipline and as a school subject. Culture in the general sense means everything with which man perfects and develops the manifold talents of his spirit and body. An introduction to the cultural framing of the teaching of Catholic religion in the European Union from an Italian perspective seeks systemic solutions to foster the maturation of the personality in the religious dimension in order to discover and design one's own place in socjety and in history.
