My daughter applied to and was accepted at several. Among those I visited I was most impressed by University of Dallas.
This is academia, folks and BC is simply reflecting the typical north east liberal academic mindset.
There's little Catholic ethos about it.
On a side note, we should remember that schools like this are producing our future judges. It's no surprise that the judiciary is so activist and anti-family when it is being educated by faculty such as this.
Jenkins and Notre Dame are Holy Cross but BC is Jesuit. I wonder what ND's law school has to say about the topic.
What about the school in Cicinnati called Thomas something or other. Is that a liberal school or one that follows the church’s teachings?
King’s College in Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania is a small Catholic College, but it is known to still true to the Church.
St. Francis University of Steubenville Ohio also genuine Catholic and
Ave Maria University, recently established in Naples, Florida also genuine.
Does a prospective student need to be a Catholic to go to one of these schools?
ACC has replaced INRI.
Catholics are so queer these days.
And Lutherans.
And Episcopals.
And Presbyterians.
And Methodists.
.
Not at all. In fact BC reserves 10% of it population for international students.
None that I know of that have Division 1 football programs. Don't want to p.o. the alums you know.
The big mainlines are suffering badly across the board, with a few exceptions. There are a couple or so back-to-the-bible Lutheran synods. If situated deep in the Bible Belt, Methodists are likely to be as fervent as their Baptist brethren.
Catholic churches are spotty in quality across the US. One would think the looie ones would get a flurry of Laodicean warning letters from the hierarchy, but they don’t.
Boston or Benedictine?
TRIPLE BUMP!!
I love your tag line!
Rather than praising Fitzgibbon's public defense of a Catholic teaching, Dean Garvey wrote that Fitzgibbon's "public statements represent his own opinions ... and do not state any official position of Boston College Law School." Garvey defended Fitzgibbons' participation in the advertisement but also seemed to welcome faculty opposition to Catholic teaching.
Is Dean Garvey also a heretic? Does Boston College welcome heretics? Where do they draw the line, or is it all relative? What happened to support for Catholic teaching? Get rid of the vermin; the school will be the better for it.
I applaud Fitzgibbon's public defense of Catholic teaching! Why is not there more? Or does the school also embrace the culture of death?
You are from the real world, eh?
Keep in mind that this is from the University scene-ivory tower Liberal. But, why does this professor get pegged with having it in for gays, lesbians or anyone. It’s not as if he asked to have gay students kicked out of class! He has a legal opinion and it should be treated no differently than another professor arguing a point about pharmaceutical liability.
The critical problem here is that Liberal orthodoxy squelches discussion on certain “sacred cow” subjects, which often characterize frivolous claims of insult as Civil Rights crises.
“The recommended Newman Guide colleges are Ave Maria University, Aquinas College (Tenn.), Belmont Abbey College, Benedictine College, The Catholic University of America, Christendom College, The College of Saint Thomas More (Texas), DeSales University, Franciscan University of Steubenville, Holy Apostles College & Seminary, John Paul the Great Catholic University, Magdalen College, Mount St. Mary’s University, Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy, St. Gregory’s University, Southern Catholic College, Thomas Aquinas College, The Thomas More College of Liberal Arts (N.H.), University of Dallas, University of St. Thomas (Texas), and Wyoming Catholic College.”
There ARE Catholic Catholic colleges in America.
The first one Ave Maria is owned and funded by Tom Monaghan the guy who built Dominos pizza into a billion dollar firm. Tom is a faithful catholic and a Marine.
Maybe you could go to the Newman Society and use the search word "Thomas" to find the information you're looking for.
No; I don’t think any of them require prospective students to be Catholic.
