Considering the current state of colleges and universities, they do not seem suitable environments for Catholic sons, either.
Considering the current state of colleges and universities, they do not seem suitable environments for Catholic sons, either.It is truly lamentable, but I don't know where a Catholic young man can receive a higher education today, when all institutions are freemasonic in nature, and quite perverted on the moral level.
Not to mention that the quality of education is nothing short of garbage. I remember taking a graduate level theology course at Catholic University of America in Thomistic theology. I can safely say that I learned more in my first two weeks at seminary than I did during that entire course.
So ... and I never thought this would ever happen ... but I agree with poche. That was difficult to type :).
On the other thread, Jaynek said Trads are "subtly influenced" by feminism.I will say it is MUCH worse than this.I see Trads raising feminist daughters.Examples:Science and university attendence emphasized by stay-at-home mothers. Female graduates who came from homes with many children stating they "don't want kids. "And the mothers viewing that as NORMAL.If you spent the last 20 years in the home fulfilling God's female role raising your children and they reject motherhood, you have failed! Worse, if you think your daughter wanting to go be a scientist and not have kids is okay, YOU ARE A FEMINIST.Maybe the daughters are just tired and it's a phase. My mother came from a big family. Before I was born she took care of a brother, a niece, nephew and she worked as a nanny for a year after graduation. Let me hasten to add that my mother was delighted to have me but there are some foolish women who work their oldest daughter too hard and leave the girl burned out and resentful by the age of 20.
What seminary was that?
I know of families who recommend sending sons to the state university; over your typical "Catholic" Jesuit university. They say they have a better chance of keeping the Faith in the secular university than the Novus Ordo Catholic.
I tell my relatives and best friends, ‘If you want your children to fight for their faith, send them to public school. If you want them to lose their faith, send them to Catholic school.’ ~Archbishop Fulton Sheen
I know what you're going through. Imagine how hard it was for me to agree with Smedley.
I honestly don’t see the good in completely sheltering children who are 13-18 or up. The only thing that does is give a sort of... alternative reality.
Children have not been given to parents as a present, which they may dispose of as they please, but as a trust, for which, if lost through their negligence, they must render an account to God. The Scripture tells us, that when a father observes the divine law, both he and his children shall prosper. “That it may be well with thee and thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is pleasing in the sight of God.” (Deut. xii. 25.) The good or ill conduct of a parent may be known, by those who have not witnessed it, from the life which his children lead. “For by the fruit the tree is known. ”
4. If all fathers fulfilled their duty of watching over the education of their children, we should have but few crimes and few executions. By the bad education which parents give to their offspring, they cause their children, says St. Chrysostom, to rush into many grievous vices; and thus they deliver them up to the hands of the executioner. Great indeed is the misfortune of the child that has vicious parents, who are incapable of bringing up their children in the fear of God, and who, when they see their children engaged in dangerous friendships and in quarrels, instead of correcting and chastising them, rather take compassion on them, and say: ”What can be done? They are young; they must take their course.” Oh! what wicked maxims! what a cruel education! Do you hope that when your children grow up they shall become saints? Listen to what Solomon says: ”A young man, according to his way, even when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Prov. xxii. 6.) A young man who has contracted a habit of sin will not abandon it even in his old age. ”His bones,” says Job, ”shall be filled with the vices of his youth, and they shall sleep with him in the dust.”
