Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Public Schools or Denominational Schools: Pastoral Letter on the Separation of the School From the Church
Through baptism the child belongs also to the Church which Christ' has founded to lead men to God, and in which He has deposited for this' purpose all graces and resources. Hence the Church is, according to the apostle St. Paul, the mother of the faithful, consequently also that of the' children; in her they receive supernatural life, in her this life is nursed and fostered. To banish our religion from the school means, therefore, to make the task imposed upon the Church by her divine Founder impossible to her; it means to tear her children from her own motherly heart; it means, in the proper and true sense, to destroy religion. After' the Church has christianized the nations through the blood of her martyrs, after she has transformed the world through the power of the gospel, all shall be destroyed through the separation of the school from the Church. This is a detestable scheme and a great injustice against the' Church of Christ.
