• Resumen

  • The article is aimed at showing the meaning of moral educationin the processes of religious education. The authors pay attention to the meaning of moral values influencing man’s behaviour, and attitudes towards the Self, other people, the world, and God. Experience obtained in the relationship with the Self, others and God has a significant role in the trajectory of educational processes, particularly the process of the moral upbringing of a person. Attention paid to natural cognition and cognition rooted in God can help to underline the sense of religious education, as well as the religious education of a child. Moral imagination producing moral images becomes the subject for analysis in terms of a teacher's responsibility concerning the selection of literature items, or methods of their analysis. A moral upbringing that is tightly connected with religious education elicits the meaning of work upon one’s own character and catechesis as a tool enhancing its quality. The research question of this article can be posed as follows: how does moral upbringing participate in the processes of religious education?
