Upfront with the Archbishop
105. Authentic Catholic Schools, Mental Health, Catholic Anthropology and Sexuality in Our Schools
Today, Archbishop Smith is talking about Catholic education and the urgent need to proclaim the Gospel in our Catholic schools, especially with the widespread presence of anxiety and depression among young people.
In anticipation of Catholic Education Week (Oct. 19-25), the Archbishop also speaks about what it means for Catholic schools to be “authentic” and “distinct,” the relationship between educators and parents, and advice for how to proclaim the beauty and truth of the Church’s teaching on anthropology and sexuality in our Catholic schools.
