The good Bishop would do well to re-read The Catechism on Parents

2223 Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. They bear witness to this responsibility first by creating a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and disinterested service are the rule. The home is well suited for education in the virtues. This requires an apprenticeship in self-denial, sound judgment, and self-mastery - the preconditions of all true freedom. Parents should teach their children to subordinate the "material and instinctual dimensions to interior and spiritual ones." 31 Parents have a grave responsibility to give good example to their children. By knowing how to acknowledge their own failings to their children, parents will be better able to guide and correct them:

He who loves his son will not spare the rod.... He who disciplines his son will profit by him. 32

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. 33

2224 The home is the natural environment for initiating a human being into solidarity and communal responsibilities. Parents should teach children to avoid the compromising and degrading influences which threaten human societies.

2225 Through the grace of the sacrament of marriage, parents receive the responsibility and privilege of evangelizing their children. Parents should initiate their children at an early age into the mysteries of the faith of which they are the "first heralds" for their children. They should associate them from their tenderest years with the life of the Church. 34 A wholesome family life can foster interior dispositions that are a genuine preparation for a living faith and remain a support for it throughout one's life.

They should hire a canon lawyer and persue ecclesiastical redress to the Vatican.

A point to ponder.

Not all home schools are equal. It is not the type of organization that determines the outcome. It is what is done in the organization.

How many here are in favor of Muslim home schools in the US?

I can’t imagine why I don’t go to church anymore. Just a bunch of solid decisions by all over the last couple decades.

As far as I’m concerned, the church & belief reside in one’s mind. I don’t need another flawed human in a specific building telling me what to think or believe.

Auxiliary Bishop Joaquim Mol GuimarĂ£es of Belo Horizonte... argued that it is never a good solution, given that it disregards relevant economic disparities in society.

Damned stupid socialist. Maybe its exactly the bloated government educrat bureaucracy which is preserving "relevant economic disparities."

And the popes once frowned on bibles printed in the local languages too. Not surprising. Brazil was once 90+% Catholic and today Protestants are the largest growing denominations in Brazil and Catholcis are down to 50%.

The ill-conceived accommodation that the Catholic Church made towards South America in the 18th and 19th centuries to allow some native pagan beliefs to sit alongside Catholic dogma in order to ease conversions is coming home to roost. Catholic Latin America is a cesspool of anti-Christian and Marxist ideologies, far removed from the Latin Christendom of the Church Fathers and incomprehensible to the Reformers. No wonder this Satanic spawn of the Catholic Church is so susceptible to leftist indoctrination.

“...many conservative and traditionalist Catholics also prefer educating their children at home.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

They likely don’t want their kid’s heads pumped full of Communist Liberation Theology.
