Excerpt from the Book
I. Introduction
Plato is credited with the statement, "God is not responsible for the actions of those having free will". That is an apt quote from a secular mind to strengthen the tenets of the freedom of religious choices allowed by God (Gardener, 2014).
It would seem that the responsibility of education belongs to the Church, or to religion, if you will. The Church is committed as a mother to inculcate in the minds of the children a measure of faith that should anchor them through life. Where the home has done a good job, teachers and schools have an easier time educating the child and, by extension, the nation.
In fulfilling its educational responsibility, the Churches, through the ages, have been the custodians of the sense of values that transcends personal and immediate needs; protect and transfer cultural legacy of past generations and provide the most potent reason for human existence.
Out of the bosom of religion has come the most consistent philosophical, practical and enduring legacy of a moral society. It is in the repository of catholic schools and teachers that the greatest grace and kindness are to be found. And it is within our religious diversity that our schools have emerged. The Philippine education system must teach our future citizens to guard rigorously the variety of faiths that make up this nation, hence this study.
