American Reform – The Theory of Education — Introduction to New Series

“And just as the principles of educational methods arose from religion, the inspiration of the sciences and the arts, so in their substance they were held to be immutable, like religion, truth, and ideal beauty. However, the books written by our ancestors, with exquisite wisdom, dispensed us from entering again into so many disquisitions, of which modern reformers wrongly boast.”>

Introducing A New Series

This year at The Journal of American Reform we continue to be focused on our project of “restoring all things in Christ”, keeping with the aim of Pope St. Pius X during his storied pontificate. Though our animating concern is the American political order, in order to enact real change, we must arm ourselves with the right principles, whatever the domain.>Naturally, that means the basics which, necessarily, includes education. In light of this, we are excited to introduce a new series on the proper theory of education, drawing from the Jesuits of La Civiltà Cattolica. An order that lays claim to being true masters of education, always importantly aligned with the directives of the Holy See.
