For the Church, “in fact, the service of the teacher is an ecclesiastical munus and office (cf. can145 and 936)” (#45) with particular canonical (Church law) duties, among which is the requirement to “be outstanding in correct doctrine and integrity of life (can 639, 803),” (#47). If this is the standard by which we are called to understand the mission and ‘job’ of the Catholic educator, then it stands to reason that the Dicastery would note that the role of the educator “cannot be reduced to professionalism alone, for the life of the Catholic teacher must be marked by an exercise of a personal vocation in the Church and not simply by the exercise of a profession,” (#24).
