'+Synonyms+': civilisation and religion, civilisation and evangelisation, fostering the good of humanity and religion, good Christian and upright citizen

'+Geographical/Regional usage+':

'+Description+': Don Bosco had almost certainly heard variants of this phrase from prominent religious educators before him (e.g. Lodovico Pavoni (1784-1849) who founded the Congregation of the Sons of Mary Immaculate in Brescia some years before him. In Pavoni's Constitutions for his Congregation he indicated: ....riescano ottimi cristiani, buoni padri di famiglia, sudditi fedeli', not so different from Don Bosco's version). Already in his earliest printed guide for young people, ''The Companion of Youth'' (Il Giovane Provveduto), Don Bosco had written: "buoni cittadini in terra per essere poi un giorno fortunati abitatori del cielo" (good citizens in order to be one day lucky inhabitants of heaven). DB expressed this idea in many variants: good Christians and honest citizens, good Christians and wise citizens.... and after 1875 while looking to missions overseas in South America he broadened it further as : civilisation and religion, or for the good of humanity and religion.

'+Context (examples of use)+': We find, in Italian, in the ''Giovane Provveduto'', the following: ...farsi buoni cittadini in terra per essere poi un giorno fortunati abitatori del cielo. Or in the Regulations for the Oratory for external members he indicates that "when a boy enters this Oratory he must be convinced that this is a religious place aimed at producing good Christians and honest citizens".

'+Other notes+': Don Bosco had a broad set of intentions in mind when he used this phrase. effectively he meant everything that young people need in order to live their human and Christian life to the full: clothing, food, somewhere to live, work, study, free time; joy, friendship; active faith, God's grace, following a path to holiness; involvement, energy, being part of society and Church.

(:zapend:) (:zapform key=Type:) '''Term type''' ('EntryTerm' ''if no other applies)'' (1) (2) [Initialisms like AGC are regarded as acronyms; a term like 'Bro.' is an abbreviation; an example of short form instead would be the main part of a very long book title (most of DB's book titles! 'Giovane Provveduto' is a short form). A loan term is not translated whereas a calque is. A blend is where two (or more) morphemes or 'word' parts have been combined to form a single term, as in the case of 'austraLasia'. Choose variant when there exists at least one other common form of the term. ] (:zapend:)

Deprecated indicates official disapproval or if not disapproval, official abandonment at least. A neologism is a term that has come into play relatively recently - say, since Vatican II, but the time frame can be flexible.] (:zapend:)
