The Fiasco of Catholic Education
Episode 24, Nov 04, 2022, 10:27 AM
Katherine Bennett, a South London school teacher of more than 20 years’ experience, lays bare the crisis of faith convulsing Catholic education as teachers increasingly capitulate to a radical secular consensus.
In this 24th episode of Merely Catholic, the podcast series for the Catholic Herald, she tells Dr Gavin Ashenden of how such new and destructive ideologies as Critical Race Theory, Third Wave Feminism and those underpinning the ever-expansive LGBT+ agenda are now finding their ways into the classrooms of Catholic schools. All who treasure the beauty of their faith should be deeply worried, she suggests, and she recommends that the time has come for conscientious Catholics to bear witness to truth with greater urgency and courage.
