It is permissible for a traditional Catholic teacher to teach in a public school, but only provided that he or she does not compromise his Catholic principles. Nevertheless, a Catholic who really loves his Faith would want to teach in a traditional Catholic environment, where the knowledge that he imparts can be integrated into the knowledge of God, religion and the Faith, and can be subordinated to the Divine Wisdom that we learn from our Catholic Faith.

He will consequently not be deceived by the apparently greater good of being a “lighthouse of truth in the stormy sea of indifferentism”.
