At a recent Toronto Catholic District School Board meeting, trustees Maria Rizzo and Angela Kennedy expressed dissenting views on a proposal by Trustee Michael Del Grande to mandate the recitation of the St. Michael the Archangel prayer in Catholic schools. Rizzo strongly opposed the motion, stating, "I don’t want to put the fear of God in our children." This statement has raised eyebrows among adherents of the faith, particularly in light of biblical teachings that emphasize the importance of reverence for God as outlined in Proverbs 9:10, which suggests that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." The incident underscores ongoing tensions within the board regarding adherence to traditional Church teachings and raises concerns about the influence of dissenting trustees on Catholic education. The board's discussions reflect a broader struggle over the foundational values of Catholic teachings in contemporary educational settings, leaving many to question the alignment of certain board members with the Church's core principles.
