In one of the Moral Theology classes in the seminary, I remember commenting in a discussion, “One of my worst fears is a few years down the road teaching in a classroom about the immorality of in vitro and realizing after the fact that a student in the class is a product of that process.” That exact fear became a reality within months of becoming a priest.
Good article. I would also say that we need classical Catholic schools. Did you know there is actually a papal encyclical on the merits of reading Dante? Yet, how many Catholic high schools have the Divine Comedy as required reading? Preparing grammar school kids with Latin, a solid background in the classics, and good history and literature (in addition to catechesis) helps them grow in virtue.
Well said!!!! Thank you!!!!
