to Live By – From Catholic Tradition
Let us beware of bad companions!
St. Gregory Nazianzen, Doctor of the Church, warns us:
It is an illusion to seek the company of sinners on pretense to reform or convert them; it is far more to be feared they will communicate their poison to us.”
Butler’s Lives of the Saints, vol. 2, June 14th, St. Basil the Great.
Catholic Candle note: This allusion (to which St. Gregory Nazianzen refers) is called “a temptation under the appearance of good”, about which St. Ignatius of Loyola also warns us.

Catholic Candle note: To assist parents in homeschooling, we call your attention to a new Traditional Catholic homeschool which is now accessible worldwide. Here is some information about this homeschool:
Angelic Doctor Academy
We would like to introduce Angelic Doctor Academy, a Traditional Catholic homeschool for grades 9 – 12 (lower grades coming soon). We think Traditional Catholics will appreciate our unique and militantly Traditional Catholic curriculum. We have written many new textbooks because we saw the problems in many books commonly used, whether they were history, science, or in other disciplines. We think Catholic parents – especially busy mothers – will appreciate our unique grading system in which we correct everything, including handwritten essays. This allows the parents to concentrate on teaching, explaining, and keeping order. Please visit https://www.ada.school to learn more. Mention that you are a Catholic Candle subscriber for a 10% discount on materials. Thank you!
