Listen now | From the audiobook Explanation of Catholic Morals - Chapter 64, "Catholic Schools," asserts that the Catholic school system's primary purpose is to provide a holistic education that nourishes a child's soul with religion and morality while simultaneously imparting secular knowledge, directly addressing the "extravagance and godlessness" perceived in public schools. While not always claiming secular academic superiority, Catholic schools aim for a more thorough education by focusing on character and spiritual formation. The text emphasizes that every Catholic child possesses an inherent right to such a religious upbringing, placing a grave moral obligation on parents to enroll their children in Catholic schools unless severe reasons justify otherwise, warning against the serious sin of neglecting this duty and the scandal of public defiance against Church authority.
