This episode goes straight to the heart of Catholic identity in our schools. Drawing on Cardinal Gerhard Müller’s reminder that “the Church must always and everywhere confess Christ and lead people of goodwill to Him”—and that the redemption of the world is only in Jesus Christ through His sacramental Church—we unpack what this means for daily practice in classrooms and leadership. Jonathan contrasts secular humanism’s optimism about self-perfectibility with the Gospel’s call to grace, conversion, and mission. Practical takeaways help you bring a clear, Christ-centered presence to your students—even when wider systems drift.

You’ll learn:

• Why Catholic education fails if it becomes “humanism with a Catholic veneer”
• How to make Christ the principle of unity for culture, curriculum, and care
• Simple habits to keep your classroom explicitly Christ-centered (language, prayer, Sacraments, witness)
•
