The Vatican’s education congregation has published a document responding to conflicts over the interpretation of the concept of “Catholic identity” in Catholic school settings.
The 20-page instruction affirmed the importance of a Catholic educational project with an evangelical goal and explained the role that teachers and administrators play in its achievement.
“The whole school community is responsible for implementing the school’s Catholic educational project as an expression of its ecclesiality and its being a part of the community of the Church,” the document from the Congregation for Catholic Education said.
