| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Education |
 | | But a mere recital of facts is of little avail unless certain fact of Christian revelation be given its due importance. |
 | | It is needful, then, to distinguish the constant elements in education from those that are variable; the former including man's nature, destiny, and relations to God, the latter all those changes in theory, conduct of educational work. |
 | | Not only does the Christian conception of life differ radically from the pagan view, not only does the Christian teaching impart a new sort of knowledge and lay down a new principle of action, but Christianity, moreover, supplies the effectual means of making its ideals actual and of carrying its precepts into practice. |
