I. Philosophy vs. Catholic Education? Maybe not .
Catholic education is not a term that is taboo to people; however, is it really understood in its proper sense? The word catholic means universal and thus refers to a style of Christian education that is universal in the broadest, most complete meaning of the term. It is not an educational philosophy created for one country, culture, ideology or age. Its appeal is to everyone, irrespective of conditions of time, politics, race or national identity. Catholic here means that it is not purely religious but is related to the secular. Catholic education intends to educate with a balanced mix of both religious and secular realities. It is the education that epitomizes a weaving of a balanced tapestry. Undeniably, there cannot be, nor should there be, an attempt to separate the sacred from the secular. One cannot detach Catholic education from secular influence. In what I learned from the study of different philosophies in my course of Foundation of Education; one must be prudent in creating a philosophy that they will adhere to. Application of the early Christian principle of "taking the best and leaving the rest" is a means wherein secular influence can be used in catholic education. The world does not produce purely evil ideas or philosophies. For example:.
The philosophy of Idealism in life is the characteristic of those who regard the ideas of truth and right, goodness and beauty, as standards and directive forces. (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07634a.htm).
This philosophy if further studied will also have its faults. However, it is the belief in the beauty and goodness of man that should be adopted. Many other secular philosophies contribute to the catholic education so it is not fair to say that it is purely based on doctrines of scriptures of the faith.
Our awareness of reality must continuously be expanded and developed if we ever dream of becoming truly educated.
