FormingCharacterinSchool

WhatistheMissionoftheOathlire School?

Thegreatnamesinthehistoryof educationhaveeveremphasisedmoral morethanintellectual.FromPlato andAristotletothemoderndefinitions,moralcomesfirst.Whyisthat so?Becausecharactercountsmorein theconductoflifethanbrains.A manwithoutcharacter,howeverintellectualhemaybe,isadangerousasset tosociety.Emersonhaswellsaid: "Menofcharacteraretheconscienceof thesocietytowhichtheybelong." "Educatemenwithoutreligion,"the DukeofWellingtonisreportedtohave said,''andyoumakethemclever devils."Schoolsforthetrainingof pickpocketsexistinthelargerEuropeancities.Averyhighstandardof intelligenceisdemandedfromthe pupils;thefinishedproductiscertainly clever,butyet,wehesitatetocallthe graduates"educated.Atrainedintellectisnotsufficientfortheconduct oflife.TheproductofNewman's liberaleducationwasahighlyintellectualisedperson.Liberaleducation fashionedthegentlemanbutnotthe CatholicandNewmancontendedthat sanctitywasnotwithinitsscope. "Quarrythegraniterockwithrazorsor moorthevesselwithathreadofsilk, thenmayyouhopewithsuchkeen anddelicateinstrumentsashuman kindnessandhumanreasontocontend againstthesegiants,thepassionand theprideofman."Religionisthe onlyforcethatcancontendagainst thesegiants.

CatholicschoolsexisttoformCatholiccharacters.Thatiswhatthey havebeenbuiltfor.Theirmissionis themissionoftheChurch,viz.,toaid theindividualtotransformhimself, withthehelpofDivineGrace,froma childoffleshtoachildofGod.Becausewebelievethatcharacter-formationdependsonreligionasafoundation,wecannotusetheStateschool. Acceptingtheworkabledefinitionof FatherHull,S.J.,viz.,that"character islifedominatedbyprinciples,"we, teachersofreligion,mustsowthese principlesduringsenooldays.The manwithoutprinciplesthinks,speaks, andacts'astheimpulseseizeshim, whetherforgoodorbad.Themanof characterisnotthepl,,ythingofevery windthatblows;heisnotacreature ofimpulse.Hislifeisdominatedby principles.Whatthenisaprinciple! "Aprinciple,"saysFatherHull,"is somepregnantidearelatingtoconductgraspedfirmlybythemind, brandedintoconsci.osness,elevated intoastandardofconduct,andapplied habituallytocircumqancesasthey arise."Principlesarctheroots;characteristheblossom.Principlesmust beplanteddeepdowninthesoilof religion;theymustbewateredbythe fertilisingshowersofGod'sgrace;they mustbetrainedtoclimbonChristian uprightsuntilthey -tintoaChristlikebloom.Tosow,totend,tocultivate,toprune,tonourish,andto watchtheseprinciples,whichrulelife, isthemissionoftheCatholicschool.

ReligionisIndividual.

Religionisthefoundationupon whichwearetobuildcharacter.Religionisanindividualthing,apersonalpossession.MonsignorDupanloup,thefamousFrenchCatechist, warnsusagainstthefutilityofcap- turingsomanydistinctpersonalities,whicheveryclassroomholds,byany mass-methodsHewrites:"Theques tionisnothowtoinstructorhowto makereligionunderstood,buthowto touchsouls,toconvertthem,tomake themloveGodandJesusChrist;how torootouttheevilinclinationsofthese younghearts,andtosowinthemthe seedsofallvirtues,howtoinspire themwithahorrorofallevil,and withtheloveofgood.Thatisthe endalwaystobekeptinview."We forgettoooftenthatthereisnoway "topackandlabelmenforGodand savethembythebarrel-load."Religionmusthelookeduponasanindividualmaker.Chesterton,inhis lifeofSt.FrancisofAssisi,expresses thisideabysaying:"Tothismystic hisreligionwasnotathinglikea theory,butathinglikealoveaffair. Hewasalover.Hewasaloverof God."Ifthatisourattitudeas teachersofreligionourworkwillsuc-

ceed,andthechildrenwillcatchthe truespiritfromus.

Therecannotbeanyscientific methodofformingcharacter,because therearenotwochildrenalike.God dealswithusasindividuals,andwe, asteachersofreligion,mustendeavour to children.makeanindividualappealtoour Thereisndstandardisation amongthesaints,whodifferfromone anotherasstardifferfromstar.The modernfactorystandardisationthreatenstheclassroom,andattemptsto makecitizensaccordingtopattern,and todevelopcharacteraccordingtoa timeschedule.Wemustguardthe teachingofreligionagainstthatinvasion.Already,thereareevidences thatthestandardisingmethodshave enteredthereligiouslesson,e.g.,we haveregimentationofchildren,confessionparades,barrack-squarediscipline,"Foldyour'arms!payattention!

Havingdiscardedexaminationforsym- patheticinspectionthereisnovaluein hustling.Rememberthat"wholesome neglect,"wiselywastingtime,""tread softlyandgofar,"arecounselsofper- fectionintheteachingofreligion, wherethepaceisalwaystooquick.

LBuildfromWithin.

Therearecertainconsiderationsin theformationofcharacterwhichare worthnoticing.Thefirstinorderand inimportanceisthatcharactermust bebuiltfromwithin.TheShields methodofteachingreligionputsasits firstprinciple,thetext-"TheKing- domofGodiswithinyou,"whichDr. Shieldsparaphrasesbysayingthat "thetempleoflifeandmindcanbe builtbynoneotherthanbytheinwarddweller."Intheteachingofreligionthereisnovalueinplastering fromoutside,becausethesourceofmentalgrowthanddevelopmentiswithin "thetempleofthemind."Theking- domofheavenislikeamustardseed, giveittimeanditwillbecomeagreat tree.Dr.Shieldslearnedthroughhis rareexperienceasa"dullard::which heshareswithusin"TheMakingand UnmakingofaDullard"-thatovercrowdingwithmatterthatisnotassimilated,impedesthemind.Thepre- cociouschildhasthingscrowdedon him,andheseldommakesasuccessof life.Asteachersofreligionweare intoomuchofahurry;wearetooimpatienttoseeresults.Itisessential forus"tolightthecandleofpatience andguideourthoughtsthereby." Crowdingonfromoutsidemakesa braveshow,butcausesindigestionwithin.ThereareMass-Catholics" amongus,whosereligionisanexternalone.Youcannotforcepeopleinto doingreligiousthings.Externalau thoritywillnotlastunlessitawakens somethinglatentinthesoul.

Dr.Shieldsseeksacurriculuminthe firstgradethatwillholdtheessentials ;iftheCatholicfaithcontainedinatiny seed,outofwhichallsubsequentmatterwillgrow.Hewrites:"Allthe elementsofacompleteeducationmust becontainedpotentiallyandinager- minalformintheeducationthatis giventothechildduringhisfirst yearsatschool."Thegerminal.idea istobeabigone.Dr.Shieldswould expressit,notastheologicalformulae, butinconcertspresentationsinhis readers.Heaimstopresentideasto thechildwhichwillfunctionhereand now.Onemaynotbeabletoseethe effect,buttheideaswilldotheirwork. Therefore,atthebeginningfewideas arepresented,otherthingsmustwait. Outoftheseseeds,whichmeansomethingtothechildofthefirstgrade, willgrowbigtrees.Buttheseed doesnotgerminateunlessitdies,and, consequently,theeducatormustbe patient.(Forfurtherdevelopmentof thisidea,Ireferyoutothedetailed treatmentoftheShieldsMethodin "SomeMethodsofTeachingReligion," pp.122-190).

ELVirtueNeedsInstruction. WeSelf-knowledgeleadstoself-discipline. wanttosetthechild'sfeetonthe pathofself-discipline,whichcomes fromdesireswithinthetempleofthe mind.Thesedesires,thewell-spririgs ofaction,areinternal.Theyneedinstruction,freedom,andpracticeifthey aretoflowoverintoconduct.They cannotbeproducedbyexternalpres- sure.Weneedinourschoolssomethingoftheasceticaltrainingsupplied inthenovitiate.Asceticalwritersare

thebestguidesinhabitformation.A longtraditionofsuccessliesbehind them.Themasterofnovicesinsists onfrettingoutthepredominantfaultinthenovice.Thefaultisisolated, andthenaneffortismadetogetat itsroots.Theparticularexamenis importanthere.Eachfaultreceives individualattention.,Thereisno otherwaytoacquirevirtue.Avirtue isaspecificthing,andneedsspecificinstructionandpractice.Generalmoral discoursesarenotofmuchavail.Tellingachildtobehonestismeaningless,buttellingaboythathemustnot stealthatotherboy'spencilismeaningful.Ourinstructionsmustbeconcreteanddefinite,becauseachildcannotapplygeneralprinciples.The ScoutLawhassucceededbecauseit laysdowndefiniterulesofhonourand conduct.

Theindividualmethodofasceticism canbeappliedtotheclassroom.The classroomhasadiagnosticvalueinrevealingfaultsofcharacter.Thefault oncebroughttolight,thechildcan bedirectedtowardsthegradualand systematicovercomingofit.When theclassroomisorganisedonthebasis ofactivedoingratherthanpassivelistening,youhavetheproperatmosphereforthefosteringofrighthabits.

The"Secret"-aParticularExamen. Iamnowadvocatingthepracticeof the"Secret"asaparticularexamenfor children.(Foramoredetailedaccountofthe'secret,"Iagainreferyou to"SomeMethodsofTeachingReligion,"pp.24-25,l87-1891.Duringthe pastyearsomeoftheschoolsunder mychargeintroducedthepracticeof the"Secret"withverygratifyingresults."Ifindthe'Secret'doingwonderswiththechildren,"wasthecommentofoneofthemostsuccessful teachersthatIhaveknown.The "Secret,"liketheparticularexamen,isolatesfaults,andindividualisesvirtue.Thechildismadetoseehis faults,andheundertakesspecificdrill inordertoacquirespecificvirtues. Thechildrenofeachgradeareasked eachdayduringthereligiouslesson"to

thinkhard,"andanswerquestionsin theirownminds.Thequestionswill concentrateon'theirweaknesses,e.g., "DidIsaymyprayerswellthismorn. ing?"-"Did1pushTommyX.likeI didyesterday?'-"didIgotobed whenmotheraskedme?"-"WeI meanordidIsharemylollieswith others?"Thechildmusthavea motivefordoingallthese"hard things."The"Secret"willindicatethe truemotive-loveofOurBlessed Lord.Theteacherofreligionwillinterpretforthechildthe"eternalwhy" asthetruemotiveofconduct,andthat, inshort,isasceticism.Keepinga"secret"betweenmeandGod,thatno oneelseknows,issomethingthatwill appealstronglytomostchildren.There isthenaplaceinourschoolsforwhat hasbeencalled"Catholicathleticsfor thesoul."Asceticism,whichrealle meansdyingtoselftoliveinChrist needstobeintroducedintotheschools, becauseitisnecessarytocombatthe distasteforeffortinreligion,whichis apparentinthelaxmannerofobservingfastandabstinence,intheavoidingoflongceremoniesinchurch,and inthecultoftheshortsermon.James counselsustodoeachdaysomething fornootherreasonthanitsdifficulty- "Keepthefacultyofeffortalivebya littlegratuitousexercisedaily.That is,besystematicallyheroicinlittle unnecessarypoints;doeverydayor twosomethingfornootherreasonthan itsdifficulty,sothatwhenthehourof direneeddrawsnighitmayfindyou notunnervednoruntrainedtostand thetest.Themanwhohasdailyinuredhimselftohabitsofconcentrated attention,energeticvolition,andselfdenialinunnecessarythings,willstand likeatowerwheneverythingrocks aroundhim,andhissofterfellow-mortalsarewinnowinglikechaffinthe blast."1.

AnglicansandDivorce

ThequestionofdivorceisaneverrecurringoneinAnglican ChinchConferences.Itisaproblemthatexercisesthemindsof devoutadherentsofAnglicanism,whoregardmarriageasacontract,withallthebindingforceofasacramentalbond.Lambeth Conferenceshaveagainandagainhadthisghostofthesixteenth centuryperversionupbeforethem.LikeBanquo'sGhost,itwill notdown.Itriseswithdisconcertingfrequencyatmostunwelcome times.InanindirectwayitappearedveryrecentlyattheAnglicanChurchAssemblyatWestminster,andwewonderwithwhat emotions ofYork,whopresided, * *

Oneofthequestionsdebated,notwithoutconsiderablefeeling, ititheattitudeadoptedbytheAnglicanChurchtowardsdivorced peoplewhore-marry.Itstirredup,perhapsunwittingly,astagnantpool,andre-presentedtheunsavouryproblemofdivorce.The comparativeeasewithwhichdivorcedpeopleobtainannulmentof theirmarriagecontractswascondemnedbytheleaderofthesocalledAnglo-Catholicbody,whodeclaredtheActof1923,which wasmadesoaccommodatingtodivorcedpersons,asacrueland wickedmeasure.Mr.AthelstanRiley,unfortunately,seemedto havediscreetlyavoidedthemajorcondemnationofaviolationof thesanctityofthemarriagebond.Hadhedoneso,hewould haveshownmorecommendableconsistencyinattackingaproblemwhichtheextraordinarycomprehensivenessoftheProtestant Churchhassofaravoided.Denyingthattherewasequalityin mattersofsexualmoralitybetweenmenandwomen,becauseof inequalityintemptation,intheresultsofsinandintheconsequencetothefamily,heasked:"WilltheBishopstelluswhatwe oughttodointhematter?"Andbywayofimpressingthequestion,headded:"AtpresenttheChurchisbeingdraggedthrough themire."

HerewehavethespectacleofaleadingAnglicanlaymanlecturingthebishopsupontheirduty.Tostillfurtherimpresshis question,thisleadingProtestantlayman,toshowhowinProtestantEnglandtheChurchestablishedbylawisbeing"dragged throughthemire,"toldhisGraceofYorkandtheassembledbishopsthattherewere5,300divorceslastyear,comparedwith577 in1923.Thesefiguresareaterribleindictmentofthelooseness ofsocietyinEngland,andthelightness,nottosaylevity,with whichthemarriagebondisregarded.ScathinglyhetoldtheAssemblyatWestminster:"Collusionbetweenthepartiesisrampant,andanewprofessionhasarisen-thatofwomenwhofora considerationarepreparedtoprovideahotelbill,evenifnomisconductoccurs."Commentisunnecessary.

Thenewspaperurgeseverycitizenof Mexicotoread"withscrupulousattentionthisnotabledocumentalongwith thepastoralwehavepublishedbythe ArchbishopofMexicoandotherswe intendtopublish." BishopFulcheri'sPastoral.

BishopFuicherisoundstheCatholic doctrineoftheabsoluteindependence ofecclesiasticalandcivilauthoritiesin theirrespectivejurisdictions,explainingthat.accordingtoCatholicteaching."ecclesiasticalauthorityisnotto beusurpedbycivilauthority,noris civilauthoritytobeusurpedbyecclesiasticalauthority."

"Catholics,assuch,"BishopFulcheri writes''seeknottounitethesetwo authoritiesinasingleperson,norto haveecclesiasticalauthoritytrespass onthefieldofcivilauthority.Civil authorityhasthelastwordintemporalmatters.ThepurposeofCatholicsistostrengthenboththeseauthoritiessothattheymaydevelop freelytheactivitieswhichbelongto theminthedifferentfieldsoverwhich Godhasplacedthem."

InpresentingthedutiesofCatholics withregardtoobediencetobothec clesiasticalandcivilauthority,the Zamoraprelatecontinues,inpart,as follows:

"TheCatholicconscienceisfrequentlycalleduponto,answerthequestion astowhatisthecorrectattitudetowardscivilauthority.Catholicsare notonlymembersoftheCatholic Church,buttheyareequallyandnecessarilymembersofcivilsociety. CivilsocietyrequiresfromCatholics certainthingsandCatholicsfreelyaccepttheirdutiestowardscivilsociety.

"Spacepermitsmeonlytotouch twoorthreeofthemoreimportant pointsofCatholicteachingwhichhave aspecialinterestinthecircumstances inwhichwearenowliving.

"Weareaskedinthefirstplace: DoCatholicsbelievethatecclesiastical andcivilauthoritiesshouldbeexercisedbythesameperson?Shouldthe samepersonlegislateinthetwospheres overwhichtheseauthoritiesareexercised?TheteachingoftheCatholic Churchisdecidedlynegativeonthis point:religiousauthorityandcivil authorityshouldnotbeexercisedby thesameperson.Thereisnolawof God,whichalonecouldestablishsuch aunion,whichprescribesit. IsUnionTolerable?

"Butweareasked,whilethisunion isnotprescribed,isittolerable?Isit desirableasameansforbringingabout greaterorderonthisearth?Inansweringthisquestionitisnecesi,tiryto makeadistinction.Ifbytheunion ofthesetwnpowersitisunderstood thattheyarefusedinsuchamanner astoformhutone,theCatholicanswermustbe'no.'Theymaynotbe united.If,ontheotherhand,bythis union,itisunderstoodthataccidentallythetwoauthoritiesareexercised byasingleperson,butremaindistinct intheirproperspheres,theCatholic doctrinepermitsthis,not,however,becauseittendstoabetterorderof things,butonlyinexceptionalcases, andforspecialreasonswhichseemto

makethisunionadvisable.Thus,as ageneralrule,religiousandcivilauthorityshouldnotbeexercisedbya singleperson.Theteachingofthe CatholicChurchonthispointisadmirablyexpressedbytheLatin-AmericanPlenaryCouncilinthefollowing words:

'Goddivided,thegovernmentof thehumanracebetweentwopowers, theecclesiasticalandthecivil,theone beingplacedoverdivinethingsand theother,overhumanthings.Bothare supremeeachinitsownorder.Both arerestrictedbydifferentlimitations whichresultfromtheirdifferentnature aswellasfromtheendseachpursues. Totheoneisentrusteddirectlyand chieflythecareofthingswhichare mortal.Totheotherareentrusted celestialandeternalthings.Therefore, whateverrelatestothesalvationof soulsortotheworshipofGodisunder thepowerandcontroloftheChurch. Everythingelse,bothcivilandpolitical,issubject,byright,tocivilauthority.JesusChristHimselforderedman togivetoCaesarthethingsthatare Caesar's,andtoGodthethingsthat areGod's.

"ThePlenaryCounciltookthisteachingfromadocumentwhichistruly classicinthisfield.Irefertothe Encyclical,'ImmortalDei,'oftheSovereignPontiff,LeoXIII.Leorealisedthenecessitywhichwouldarise fromtimetotimeforanagreementregulatingtherelationsbetweenciviland ecclesiasticalauthority,andsaid: AgreementNeeded.

"'Attimesitappearsthatforthe purposeofobtainingundisturbedlibertyaformofagreementshouldestablishtheserelations.Insuchcircumstancesthecivilauthoritiesandthe RomanPontiffreachanagreement concerningspecificpoints.Inthese agreements,especiallyinourtimes, theChurchhasgiveneveryevidence ofhermaternalinterest,andhasmade coneesionswhereverthesehavebeen possible.'

"Thus,throughconcordats,peaceful libertyisobtainedastheSupreme Pontiffsaid.Intheseconcordatsthe HolySeeandtheheadofthecivil authorityofanationagreetoregulate alongacceptedlinessomepointwhich belongsinacertainsensetoboth authorities."

"Thisdoesnotmeanthatecclesiasticalauthorityseeksthecontrolinthe fieldofcivilauthoritysettingitselfup asanotherseparatepowerandbelittlingcivilpower.Bothauthoritiesare perfectand,thereforeequallysupreme, buteachinitsrespectivesphere.

"TheCatholicChurch,therefore,far fromteachingthatreligiousauthority shoulddominatecivilsociety,orseek todominateinthecivilfield,teaches clearlythateachauthorityconfineitselftoitspropersphere.Civilauthorityissacredaswellasecclesiaitical authority.

"Myprayeristhatthesethoughts willbegivendeepstudyduringthe periodofLent,andwillleadoursocietytobecomedailymoreChristian." LaudsBishop'sAttitude.

Theeditorialinpartisasfollows:
