Public Schools
On the way to the UIC Newman Center somehow I was thinking about
Catholic School system in the Archdiocese of Chicago. For my first 6 years of priesthood I was a
big supporter of it. But now, I am not
sure. I think we should be out of that
area. The schools kept us and our
children in Catholic ghettos. As Catholics
we should promote public school system and make it better and more family
oriented. Our children should be raised in
a more pluralistic environment.
However, I am not against Universities run by different religious groups as far as they keep it pluralistic.

The Church should be more involved in teaching about Christ
and morality and not geography, biology or gymnastics.
In my opinion, orphanages, nursing homes, hospitals and
institutions like this are different thing.
We should be involved in them but they should not be just Catholic and
for Catholics. They should be for all
the people.
Catholic means universal.
So, let us have a universal mentality and approach.
Yes, I support a public education system. I changed my
mind.
