Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heated debate surrounding the role of religion in education, specifically examining the conflict between the Catholic Church and the civil authorities in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Amidst the controversy over the construction of a public schoolhouse, the author argues that the state, not the church, should hold primary authority in matters of education. The author dissects the Catholic Church's stance on education, highlighting its emphasis on religious indoctrination and the suppression of critical thinking. Drawing upon historical events and statistics, the author exposes the Church's tendency to prioritize its own interests over the well-being of society, particularly in its opposition to scientific advancements and its promotion of superstition. Challenging the Church's claim to absolute authority, the author emphasizes the importance of secular education in fostering independent thought, critical analysis, and civic responsibility. The author advocates for a non-sectarian approach to education that values critical thinking and the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, rather than for the propagation of religious dogma. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the ongoing struggle between the forces of reason and authoritarianism, underscoring the significance of safeguarding intellectual freedom and the separation of church and state in the pursuit of a just and equitable society.
