"Fides Quod Erudio" is commenced by yours truly as an insight digest of sorts pertaining to the current state of education and how the Catholic faith and its scholastic legacies can better help modern-day students in their quest for truth and understanding. This blog will contain articles that examine instructional trends in both private Catholic and government schools not only in the Philippines but in different countries as well, and some suggestions that may be of help to students and educators in undertaking their respective tasks and duties as dutiful citizens/subjects of their countries and most of all, as children of God.
In line with such thrusts, "Fides Quod Erudio" shall also feature at times famous scholars from times past even till the present who have contributed to education in general. Of course, since this is an education-inclined online hub, write-ups shall be mainly of academics and the education sector; albeit not merely as such but with a touch of the sacred. Catholic doctrine shall be tackled every now and then, and how certain learnings on religious belief may be of help to the average person studying the different disciplines of Mathematics, Science, Language and the Liberal Arts. It has always been so that a so-called fusion of doctrine and intellectualism has always been known: the scholastic movements of the Middle Ages til the early eras of the Renaissance have been living testaments of learning processes that pointed towards the sense of purpose directed to God as the first cause of humanity's existence. Thus this blog aims, in a gist, to look back to what has been lost and may be regained as the ultimate core of education as we face an era wherein children have been deprived of a unique interaction with themselves, their peers, parents and their Church.
More posts on diverse matters shall be up soon, and it is this blog's author's fervent wish that students and teachers alike continue with the noble quests of "searching to be sure of finding" (to paraphrase that great Doctor of the Church, St. Augustine of Hippo).
