The responsibility of pastors to lead mature believers through theology and general studies

  I look at the clear sky and wonder and think of God. Looking at the sky, I confess that God's love is endless. I pledge that every word, every action and life I say, "All for the glory of God," as Paul Apostles put it. Thank God for living as a priest. And as a priest, I experience great worth of joy, hope, and help for my neighbors. Today, I pray, study and work with confidence that my neighbors around me can change into God's people.

The Roman Catholic Church teaches that believers should be led using general studies(the worldly studies) based on the principles of theology as follows: May God be praised throughout everything today!

===

In pastoral care, sufficient use must be made not only of theological principles, but also of the findings of the secular sciences, especially of psychology and sociology, so that the faithful may be brought to a more adequate and mature life of faith. … In order that they may fulfill their function, let it be recognized that all the faithful, whether clerics or laity, possess a lawful freedom of inquiry, freedom of thought and of expressing their mind with humility and fortitude in those matters on which they enjoy competence. - § 62 Gaudium et Spes
