Cardinal Carlo Caffarra explains to the Register why the faithful must understand Catholic truths regarding these fundamental matters and defend them in the public square.

Is the problem today that people do not speak out strongly enough against sin?

Yes, in places of learning. Thomas’ strategy at the beginning of the Summa against the Gentiles [of calling out sin] is not followed. On the contrary, it is even belittled.

I also often saw this when I was the titular pastor in Bologna. In my opinion, in the places of learning, there’s also no education of true love of the truth anymore. On the contrary, many people teach the young that the search for the truth is a sad and useless passion that can breed only intolerance. At this point, the human person is lost and finds himself, the famous philosopher would say, before paths that don’t lead anywhere.

All goes back to proper, correct & well informed Catechesis by properly educated Catechists.

Why is it in times and places of less education, better understanding of family issues seems to follow? Is it education, or the type of education?
