“The truth is that the modern world has committed itself to two totally different and inconsistent conceptions about education. It is always trying to expand the scope of education; and always trying to exclude from it all religion and philosophy. But this is sheer nonsense. You can have an education that teaches atheism because atheism is true, and it can be, from its own point of view, a complete education. But you cannot have an education claiming to teach all truth, and then refusing to discuss whether atheism is true.” (G.K. Chesterton, The Common Man)
"Today, a particularly insidious obstacle to the task of education is the massive presence in our society and culture of relativism which, recognising nothing as definitive, leaves as the ultimate criterion only the self with its desires. And under the semblance of freedom it becomes a prison for each one, for it separates people from one another, locking each person into his or her own ego." (Benedict XVI)
“Teach the children at Orbus God’s enduring truths in the Bible, the urgency of trusting Jesus as Saviour and Lord, the value of fearing God, the wisdom in seeking first God’s Kingdom, and avoiding the emptiness of worldly falsehoods. Trust God and His perfect ways, not fallen man and his fallen ways.”
