This collection of official Catholic teaching on education is a rich body of work spanning almost the whole of the twentieth century, on the related themes of Catholic education and catechesis. The documents have been collated and edited with a view to enabling Catholic educators to appreciate more fully the riches of the tradition in which they exercise their vocation. It should serve as a reference for all entrusted with the mission of Catholic education: bishops, priests, teachers, catechists, and students.
