Contemporary threats to faith are closely related to contemporary atheism and post-modernism. For postmodernists there is no absolute truth, the truth is relative. Therefore what we are facing today is christianofobia. Although the Christian faith is tolerated as an identity and an outlook on life, criticism of a liberal approach to human rights and Christianity's authority to define human rights and respect for the dignity of human nature is not accepted. Among other threats to faith the following may be listed: mass media that not only prefer horizontalism without any referral to transcendence, but also are full of violence and sex and skilfully manipulate audience, vanishing domestic environment of faith, split-up families, consumption which leads toegoistic approaches, comfort-loving nature, lack of time for spiritual life, lack of the sense of sin, religious syncretism, subcultures, cults and sects, religious ignorance, looking for acceptance among 'non-believers' and anti-clericals, weekend offsites in corporate companies, inability to celebrate Sunday and economical migrations. A Christian who really bothers about a contemporary atheism, experiences it as both accusation and a challenge. He accuses himself of being an accomplice of atheism because he does not experience his faith or treats it only superficially. The challenge is to bear witness to God and therefore to reject the way of life as if God did not exist. It is closely related to taking up the idea of a 'new evangelization' and implementing the evangelization and catechumenal model of pastoral work.

According to Rev. Franciszek Blachnicki, the basic problem of religious instruction lies not in methods of conveying religious knowledge, but in the way of defining its purpose and role within the Church. The problem of integrity of catechesis and the Church has often been understood incorrectly and superficially as a result of the lack of full, theological vision of the Chuch and the influence of the modern time's spirit. This has deprived religious instruction of its preternatural effectiveness. Rev. Blachnicki's idea of catechesis as a separate part of pastoral theology was not objective, but subjective. Catechesis is not an abstract concept of religious tuition, but a way of the Church self-realization in the process of instructing the immature in faith, namely catechumens. It has to take into account all the elements of the presence of the Church in the people receiving religious instruction. According to Rev. Blachnicki, catechesis is also the knowledge of catechumenate as a basic task for the Church. As a result, teaching religion will be perceived as a function of the Church with all the elements contributing to its effectiveness.
