About this sermon
The governor of Texas has made school choice a top priority on his legislative agenda, and bishops in the state are following suit. The Texas Senate passed its school choice proposal which would return public education tax dollars to parents. The Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops is calling on the faithful to support school choice. Pope Francis has in the past written about the idea saying, "Schools do not replace parents but complement them." Governor Greg Abbott's plan would ensure parents are back in charge of their child's education, not the government. Bishop Michael Olson of the Diocese of Fort Worth, Texas, joins to tell us about this legislation. In a commentary issued last month, Bishop Olson along with Leo Linbeck III, an American business man, said Texans have no control over their children's education. The bishop explains why Catholic education is so important. He discusses what is next for education reform. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
