” “Today, stated Benedict XVI, "we notice a certain shyness before the category of goodness, while the achievement of freedom would be a thoughtless hunt for novelties on the catwalk"; and "reducing the precious and difficult area of sexual education to the management of ‘risk’, with no reference to the beauty of marital love, is particularly disquieting". Therefore, here is the importance of "intellectual charity", which "sustains the essential unity of knowledge against fragmentation", driving "the young towards the deep satisfaction of exercising freedom in relation to truth". Intellectual charity helps them to put faith in relation with "the various aspects of family and civil life". By pointing out "the great value of academic freedom", and by recalling that "every appeal" to that principle "to justify positions which contradict faith and the teaching of the Church would hinder or ever betray the identity and the mission of the University", Benedict XVI encouraged "teachers and managers, both in universities and schools", to give "a public account" of their faith "inside classrooms and outside them". Finally, an appeal to religious and priests: "Don’t abandon the school apostolate", especially in the poorest areas", where "lots of unfulfilled promises attract the young away from truth and genuine liberty".
