The pastoral role of the sacrament of confession : a life narrative study in the Masvingo Diocese in ZimbabweNyandoro, Rudolf 11 1900 (has links)
The laxity and continuous apathy among some members of the Catholic Church of the
Masvingo Diocese in Zimbabwe towards the Sacrament of Confession prompted this study.
The claim of Zvaiwa (2009) that confession is disappearing while psychology is being used
more, as reflected in the title of his article ―Confession out, psychology in‖, motivated this
research. The objective of the study was therefore, to explore the practical therapeutic value
of the Sacrament of Confession among members of the Catholic Church in Masvingo
Diocese in Zimbabwe. A theoretical and qualitative life narrative study was done from within
a practical pastoral therapeutic perspective of practical theology. The sample of the empirical
study consisted of 30 priests and laypeople in the five deaneries. A lifeline and semistructured
interview instrument was used. A key finding of the study was that the Sacrament
of Confession was not threatened by psychological counselling or psychotherapy. Another
significant finding was that the Catholic Diocese of Masvingo was experiencing a
devaluation of the church‘s pastoral confessional practice among its priests and laypeople.
The study confirmed that the Sacrament of Confession has therapeutic value and spiritual
meaning in the Church. The Sacrament of Confession and psychological counselling or
psychotherapy were found to collaborate as therapeutic disciplines in pastoral therapy. A new
model of therapeutic counselling that embraces spiritual direction through psychological
counselling and reconciliation is proposed. It is rooted in cultural value; spirituality; private
confession followed by prayer and absolution; and change in existential life, to enhance the
pastoral role of the Sacrament of Confession in the Diocese of Masvingo, Zimbabwe. This
model has interdisciplinary elements borrowed from medical, pastoral, psychological and
social research fields. If adopted in the Diocese it would decrease the spiritual indifference
amongst the parishioners and prevent them from defecting to other denominations. / Practical Theology / D. Th. (Practical Theology with specialisation in Pastoral Therapy)
