The following lecture is only the substance of the discourse which I had the honor to give in the Cooper Institute on Sunday evening last. I have written it out from my memory of what I then said, for two important reasons, first, to avoid all possible misunderstanding of the Catholic view on so important a subject ;and secondly, to put on record the arguments which I then brought before the American public. Many, also, who were not able to be present, may wish to know the nature of the claims which we address to that sense of justice which eminently belongs to our countrymen. The immediate occasion of the lecture is explained by the following correspondence. I take tills opportunity to thank the distinguished gentlemen who honored me by their consideration, the audience who received me with so much kindness, and the esteemed members of my own congregation, to whom I feel myself largely indebted. T. S. P. New York, January 20, 1870.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book concerns Catholic education and the fairness of the public school system. The author, as a Catholic priest, puts forth a persuasive argument for equal opportunity in education as a civil right. He lays out the tenets of the Catholic faith and how they inform a Catholic education and community. He provides evidence from around the world that supports his proposal that families should have a choice in their children's education, and that choice should be federally funded. Furthermore, the author makes the case that while public schools often provide a great education, they are not inherently secular and cannot avoid teaching some form of worldview or morality. The author's insights will resonate with Catholics and non-Catholics alike who believe in fair democratic representation and freedom of religious expression.
