Tommaso, You wish to raise your child a Catholic and your wife complies with your wish. You are greatly blessed.
But I was very disturbed to hear that you send your child to an Opus Dei school. There are many good-willed Opus Dei adherents, but they are vehemently opposed to tradition and absolutely supporters of Vatican 2 and newchurch. The higher echelons are wolves in sheeps' coats with a patina of devout Catholicity. They are a danger to the faith. Please check it out here on this site and wherever you are able.
May God bless and protect your family.
Nadir, you have no idea what a challenge it is!
The school is not helping me and, recently, I have been rebuked by an administrator (Opus Dei) on a school WhatsApp conversation group for suggesting that we pray for thos who have inverted sɛҳuąƖ preferences and hope that they may find a cure.
The Crucifix is not affixed in classes and, when I brought one, it was placed behind a cupboard.
My daughter is not allowed to say Grace before meals.
Girls have to wear pants (I add a skirt on top).
I could go on and on.
This, plus Italy's godless and leftists society and environment, have induced my wife and I to look for a better country where to move to. We are seriously considering Hungary, next year, although financial concerns must be resolved, first. In Hungary we could not find any Catholic schools. We found only non denominational Christian schools (Greater Grace International, in Budapest).
An American lady that attends FSSPX Mass in Naples, suggested that plain, non denominational, Christian school are better than bad Catholic ones. She suggested that we can build on Christian foundations by adding Catholic catechism, at home, correcting errors. We spoke to the principal and he illustrated the religious curricula: only bible, no denominations. So no Eucharist, no Marian teachings, etc., but also none of the protestant perspectives concerning salvation, etc..
We are partially convinced and, so, we are also contemplating founding, from zero, a Catholic, traditional, international, conservative school.
Something like this:
or this
and we are actively talking to banks, in Budapest, to finance the project. We are drawing a business plans based on my long time experience with preschool and primary school. I was a stake holder and start-up operator in my family of origin's enterprise: Asili Matarazzo
http://www.littlestarinternationalschool.com/ . After we opened five schools I left the group because the major stakeholder decided to veer towards globalism.
This is why I asked on this forum if anyone knew of traditonal Catholics in Hungary.
I am also actively trying to speak to the FSSPX but, so far, my local FSSPX parish priest is not impressed with my project and did not escalate it. I am now talking to the ICK who seem more interested.
Thank you for your warnings. I found out the hard way, by myself.
