ShouldChildrenLearnReligion?

Ifullyagreewiththe Jewishauthor,Herman Wouk,whodeclaresinhis .book"ThisIsMyGod"that nothingsowarpsahuman lifeastheomissionofreligiousinstructionduringone's childhood.Evenwithearly religioustraining,hesays,it istheeasiestthinginthe worldtodropitandsheer mountain-climbingtoget backtoitifonedoes.How muchmoredifficultforone whohashadnoreligious formationatall!"Judaism,"

hewrites,"wasinmypo.-sessionwhenIreachedthe pointofwantingit,like arithmetic,likegeography, likeallelseIlearnedlong beforeIhadtheslightest desireorneedforthem."I donotacceptJudaismasthe truereligion,butHerman Wouk'sparentssincerelybelievedittobetrue,notseeingthatitwasmeant toleadtobeliefinChrist, andatleasttheytaughttheir childrentoacknowledgereligiousdutiestoGod,and nottoignoreGod.

Christianparents,aware ofthecommandofChrist, "Teachallnations,"andof Hiswarning:"Sufferlittle childrentocomeuntoMe andforbidthemnot," wouldhavestilllessexcuse forneglectingthereligious instructionandtrainingof theirchildrenfromthtir earliestyears.

"LetThemChooseFor Themselves" Q.:Myfriendthinkschildrenshouldbeallowed freedomfromparental controlinmattersofreligiontilltheycan,lioose forthemselves. R.:Firstly,heforgetsthat parentswhobelieveinGod BITUMEN

cannotdispensethemselves fromthedutyoftraining theirchildrenintheknowledgeandloveofGod.They can'tsay:"Godwillbeworshipped,lovedandservedby butnotbyourchildren!"

"LikeCommunist Indoctrination!"

Q.:Myfriendfinishedwith theremarkthatourway wasasmuchindoctrinationasCommunism.

R.:Theword"indoctrination,"ofitself,means"to instructinanydoctrine." Allteachingisindoctrination.Toavoidindoctrinationofanykindwewould havetoclosedownall schoolsandrefusetoteach anychildrenanything.

WhereCommunismisconcerned,theword"indoctrination"hasatotallydifferentmeaning,oneequivalent to"brain-washing,"the forcibleexpulsionofall thatonehaseverbeen taughtorlearnedwhichdoes notfitinwithCommunist ideas,andthesubstitution ofthoseideasinstead.

Cicero'sDefinition

Q.:Youproceededtocharacteriseitbysaying:"True lawisrightreasonin agreementwithnature."

R.:Iquotedthoseword, fromCicero'streatmentof thesubject.Cicero,aRoman philosopherwhodied43 B.C.,derivedhisideasfrom theGreekStoicphilosophers. TheGreeksdeclaredthat thereisanaturalorderof things,conformitywith whichwhetherinone'spersonalorsociallifeisnecessaryforthesafeguardingof one'sdignityasahumanbeing.Andmenhaveamoral obligationtoliveinaccordancewiththerationaland responsiblenaturethathas beengiventhem.

ItsMeaning

Q.:Iampuzzledastothe meaningofsuchastatement.

R..Themeaningisthat humanbeingsdidnotmake themselvesbutthatifthey usetheirreasonrightlythey candiscoverfromthevery wayinwhichtheyhavebeen madethekindoflifethe Authorofnature,GodHimself,musthaveintended themtolive. Moreover, theywillfindimplantedin themasenseofobligation toobeytheWillofGod thusmanifestedtothem.All menalwayshaveacknowledgedsomemoralcode, howeverimperfect;and thatisdue,whetherconsciouslyorunconsciously,to aninnateconvictionthat manisobligedbyhisMaker. Inotherwords,manknows thatheissubjecttothe NaturalMoralLaw.

Why"RightReason?"

Q.:Iwouldbegladifyou wouldclarifytheterms.

Whatdoes"rightreason" mean?

R.:Theterm"right reason"isusedtoexclude warpedorunbalanced reasoning.Allhumanbeings areendowedwithreason, butnotallusetheirreason rightly.Amanisnotlikely toformasoundjudgment aboutwhatismorallyright ormorallywrongifhehas developedsoperverseawill thathedoesnotwantthe truth,orhasallowedhimseif tobeeltmesodisturbedand warpedbypassionsthathe cannolongerthinkstraight.
