"The disorders of society are caused by those in families. There are few Christian mothers, because the education of young girls is neglected"
St Angela Merici 1474-1540
As the writer of Ecclesiasticus observed - there is nothing new under the sun.
However much we may be tempted to blame social developments we do n't like on changes of attitude within the last generation or so, St Angela's comment is a reminder of the generally fallen state of mankind - in each and every generation we need to rediscover and actuate the Christian message.
