Abstract
Teachers and counselors, particularly in Catholic schools, in the explication of their profession, are sometimes confronted with outcomes, which were neither sought nor foreseen. It is proper then that the hidden causes of such unpredicted results, provide a field of research with a plurality of aspects and possibilities of investigation. The present paper is an attempt to penetrate into one of these apparently mysterious fields in order to discover and to explain how certain negative changes in attitude and behavior are produced especially toward religious practices, namely the reception of the sacraments of Penance and Holy Eucharist. The writer's hypothesis is to consider these changes not as the product of uncontrollable forces or as originating from pure chance, but rather as the result of means and methods employed to achieve the opposite good and desired goals.
