As Notre Dame and Georgetown sink further into the mire....

Alumni should stop their contributions until there is a turnaround. But are Godly principals as important as football and political science?

Here on Steubenville, Franciscan University is making up for them.

Positive news for Catholic Colleges.

The only purpose served by the existence of a Catholic College is to be authentically Catholic in its mission.

We live about 50 miles from Benedictine College and I know several folks who have gone there. It’s a wonderful resource for our archdiocese.

I went to a “Catholic” university. Most of its faculty supported abortion. The Catholic Church needs to decertify every single university that has “Catholic” in its title and make them re-apply for certification to prove that they actually are, remotely Catholic.

I think that is the biggest point. Catholics desperately want a conservative or even Orthodox Catholic university.

One that has strict adherence to morality and spiritual values. “Diversity” of religions, morals, ethics and debate are not wanted. There is no reason for students to be taught by Muslims, Protestants, atheists, or those that teach heterodoxy or outright heresy.

That those subjects are even mentioned, it is only from the Catholic perspective of what they really are, not what they say they are.

A school is defined as much or even more by what it does *not* permit, than what it promulgates.

Students should graduate motivated and capable of getting good jobs, then getting married and having families, raising their children in their faith.

I went back to college as an adult to the University of Dallas. It has a classical core and is specifically Catholic. I got a great education. What I wanted was to acquire the kind of knowledge that our Founders got when they attended the early years of Yale and Harvard. I did get that, well, without having to learn Latin and debate my professors in that language, although that aspect was available.

I learned how to think and write, plus I got enough knowledge to be able to defend my faith.

They are filling in the void created by the apostasy of the Jesuit universities, which are steeped in gay activism and far-left politics.
