This is realized when education enables the individual to develop fully his thinking and freedom, causing them to solidify into habits of understanding and communion with the totality of the real order by which persons themselves humanize the world, produce culture, transform society, and build up history. Education must contribute to the conversion of the total person, not only within their deep individual ego, but also in their social and peripheral self. It must integrate itself into the social process. It must exercise the critical function, proper to true education, by aiming at regenerating permanently, from an educational perspective, the cultural standards and norms of social interaction that make possible the creation of a new society, truly fraternal and sharing, that is, an education towards justice. Therefore, education will have to produce the necessary agents for permanent and organic change required by today's society, by means of civic and political training inspired by the social teaching of the Church.
Christian education is the assimilation of Christian culture.
It gathers the memory of the past, teaches how to live today and is directed toward the future. Naturally, an academic educational system will come to the aid and support of the parents' educational duty. Enemies working for the destruction of God's plan for the world and the establishment of His Kingdom are well aware of where and whom to attack. So we must not be surprised by the Machiavellian organization against family integrity. It is not possible, therefore, to lay upon educational institutions all the weight of that responsibility, which, in the first place, belongs to parents.
