I don't think that ANYTHING religious is required reading at most Catholic colleges these days, unless it is some leftist garbage about how "oppressive" and "judgemental" Christianity is and how we should embrace secular humanism.

Do they require the reading of ANY English classics? My experience is that even "honors" students in most high schools have trouble reading prose that is more exacting than "Time Magazine." I once gave an assignment to a government class filled with Advanced Placement students. It was to read and analyze Madison's "Federalist #10." You should have seen the written results. I might as well have given them a Latin assignment! I ended up going over it in class, line by line. I don't think they had ever read a periodic sentence in their lives.
