"We must remind our country that our Church has not only the unfailing deposit of revealed truth, but also a practical wisdom, made up from her experience in all the ages and all the nations of modern times; that her experience demonstrates that Godless education trains unprincipled citizens, who are their country's scourge, and, finally, her ruin, — that the only way to make a prosperous and happy state is to mould the individual and the family in the mould of Christian principles and virtue, for such as are the individual and the family, such also must be the nation."
