Great piece! This is especially apropos in the educational sphere. The so-called “Prussian model” is being called into question, but instead of schools returning to a more traditional model of education in the liberal arts, the general push (spearheaded by woke teacher colleges, one of which I attended) is towards the institution of woke dogmas into the educational curriculum. I.E. students that are functionally illiterate and innumerate attend a rally for abortion during school hours along with their teachers, or do art projects depicting the earth on fire to build “awareness about climate change.”

There is a strong movement towards classical education in the private sphere, but religious people should not cede public education -- where the vast majority of children are educated -- to the new gnosticism.

"However, their ability to act upon beliefs that would be properly considered [EVIL, REPROBATE, WICKED, CORRUPT, MONSTROUS] in the context of Catholic teaching must be examined under the question of whether the tolerance of alternate convictions would significantly undermine the common good."

Please fix the text to include one of the suggested words, or something similar, as the intended meaning might otherwise get lost.
