"In theory, the prevailing pedagogy declares that a sound religious education should "educate the whole person". In practice, however, it is mainly the affective and the conative powers which are educated in "Christian values", with many beautiful results. But the cognitive powers are religiously underdeveloped. Intellect, reason, memory, imagination - these are severely undereducated in Catholic doctrine and thought."
