Truth vs. Error

Dear Mr Eggen,                          August 7th, 2018
   Here are some interesting thoughts about being educated in what is true.
    "Before I went to school I was free to believe, for example, that Shakespeare was born in 1224. But finally, I was told that Shakespeare was not born in 1224 but rather in 1564.  I found out that education in truth was really restricting my freedom to fall into error. Before I went to school I also thought that "H20" was really the initials of a spy. Then I fell into the hands of a reactionary teacher. He stopped all of my liberalism. Do you know what he told me H20 meant? He said it was the symbol for water. Thus, the more I studied, the freer I became to know error."  (Archbishop Fulton Sheen)
     Here's to life-long learning and truth-seeking!
Sincerely,
Catherine van Kampen
