I teach philosophy at Boston College — one of the top Catholic universities in America.

If Kreeft honestly thinks that BC is one of the top "Catholic universities in America" then he's in as much trouble as his students.

Okay, but I think you're nit-picking a bit. His overall point about the Eucharist overshadows that one line in my opinion.

Dear Smedleybutler,

"I teach philosophy at Boston College — one of the top Catholic universities in America.

If Kreeft honestly thinks that BC is one of the top 'Catholic universities in America' then he's in as much trouble as his students."

From an academic perspective, BC is very highly rated. A quick Internet search puts it in the top 5 Catholic schools in the country, at least academically.

But Peter Kreeft is correct. BC, along with Notre Dame, Fordham, Holy Cross and Providence College are among the nation's top Catholic Colleges. The unfortunate thing is that the colleges are no longer strongly Catholic in the campus life for their students. There are teachers at each college who are trying very hard to keep it real, but the Administrations and many professors weenie out and go for the secular in the belief that they'll be more accepted in the mainstream. And the parents of students going to those colleges do not demand anything different, and are willing to accept the watered down Catholicism on those campuses.
