Catholic teachers

I asked Google AI three questions.

Q. Who are the primary teachers?
A. The primary educators in the Catholic Church are parents, who have a fundamental and grave obligation to provide for the intellectual, moral, and religious formation of their children. According to Church teachings, the family is the first school where children learn to worship God, love their neighbor, and develop social virtues, a role that is uniquely suited to transmit cultural and religious values.

Q. Who were the primary teachers in history?
A. The primary teachers throughout Catholic Church history have included parents, who are considered the first educators of their children by divine right and responsibility, and the Church Fathers and later Doctors of the Church, who were key theologians and authoritative figures in defining doctrine and tradition. Additionally, bishops served as authoritative teachers within the Church's hierarchical structure, while religious orders, particularly nuns, also played a significant role in educating children in schools for many centuries.
​
Q. Were the Jesuits the foremost teachers?
A. 
While other religious orders also have strong educational traditions, the Jesuits were undoubtedly the foremost teachers in the Catholic Church due to their unique, groundbreaking approach to education, the unparalleled scale of their educational network, and the immense intellectual influence they held for centuries. Jesuits pioneered a distinct educational approach. Unlike the older monastic or mendicant orders that saw teaching as a secondary ministry, the Society of Jesus became the first Catholic religious order to undertake systematic formal education as its primary, self-standing ministry.

Present times (not AI)
Because nuns, Jesuits, and the hierarchy have apostatized, homeschooling and Latin Mass priests have assumed the role of teaching children and adults the Catechism. St. Stephen the First Martyr in Sacramento uses the Baltimore Catechism and must supplement it.

My blog

Because the Baltimore Catechism does not cover more modern subjects, I scramble around for portions of that catechism, the one issued by Pope St. Pius X, the Douay-Rheims online site, and the 1992 catechism.

It's a bit like Scrabble.
