Bishop Conlon continues to talk about St. Augustine and passages from the saint’s book, "Confessions," some of which involves the subject of time. The bishop said time was created by God, even though God is eternal, but this concept is also true: eternity is not time. He wonders, "What is time?" If we want to live for the present, we have to live for eternity because that is where God exists.

Description: Bishop Conlon continues to talk about St. Augustine and passages from the saint's book, "Confessions," some of which involves the subjects of time and eternity.

Bishop Conlon talks about St. Augustine's wrestling with his theological development, as detailed in the saint's book, "Confessions." St. Augustine was trying to understand the issue of creation of the world and time and eternity, trying to understand why God made the earth.

Bishop Conlon talks about St. Augustine's theological struggles, as detailed in his book, "Confessions." St. Augustine's search for truth is something many people can identify with. The book was written 10 years after his conversion and six years after he was ordained a priest and two years after he was named a bishop. St. Augustine addresses the topic of time and eternity.

The sacred sciences are studied in a very academic way. People who take these studies turn out to be priests, or teachers, or work in apostolates. There are canon lawyers who are lay people who study the sacred sciences, along with professional lay theologians.

The Church respects the different areas of education that contribute to the well being of society. There’s a convergence of faith and reason in higher education. Higher education has to have high standards, while the bishops also feel that Catholic schools should not only be for the rich.

Catholic school teachers need to help teach students in a community of education about God and religion. Catholic parents are reminded to send their kids to Catholic schools, if possible. For Catholic education to work, it has to be a community effort. The formation of children in Catholic schools is very important, which involves cooperation between parents, teachers, priests and volunteers, and is a benefit to the Catholic Church.

The Church needs to help those who are has a grave obligation to the moral education of all children - even those who go to non-Catholic schools. There are teachers in public school who are Catholic and need to be encouraged to give a good example in the work place as Christians and they need to be leaven in the public schools. Children need to understand the importance of Christ. Catholic schools are preparing disciples of Jesus but also citizens of the world.

The Church has a grave obligation to the moral education of all children - even those who go to non-Catholic schools, of which there are more of these kid than go to Catholic schools. This can be done by living examples of those who teach and don’t teach and by their fellow students, especially those who teach Christian doctrine, such as those in religious education programs. The bishops dance around the separation of Church and state, and the Church encourages education officials to allow religious instruction in schools.

Schools are really important for young people. Parents should have educational choice of schools and a fair distribution of resources - distributive justice.
