The Land O Lakes statement is exactly upside down as Chesterton would have said. I am with Grahm, Catholic elementary and High Schools are is dismal condition, but where do we go to become teachers? To the University. This is no excuse, just a sad reason. It requires heroic virtue to swim against the tide of pagan egocentricism that gushes from modernity and its universities. - Achilles Mon, 22 Aug 2011 10:52:45 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/the-worlds-slow-stain.html#comment-7826 It would be interesting to see the terms under which funds in their endowments have been gifted to the big Catholic University. Surely some substantial part must have been given with the understanding that the University remain Catholic in some real and substantial way. Another significant part would have been extracted from donors with the understanding that the funds would be used to present a Catholic teaching to future students. I'd like to see some lawsuits directed against the trustees of these formerly Catholic universities, the ones that have strayed far from the Faith, on behalf of the donors whose legacies have been used to advance the cause of the World. I think we'd see pretty quickly who is the real god worshipped by these institutions. - Ben H Mon, 22 Aug 2011 06:36:16 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/the-worlds-slow-stain.html#comment-7820 I could name at least one Catholic high school in southeastern Michigan where a (recently retired) teacher taught the writings of Eric Foner and Howard Zinn et al. If only Catholic colleges were the sole problem. Catholic education has to be solid from the ground up. - Graham Combs Sun, 21 Aug 2011 16:03:53 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/the-worlds-slow-stain.html#comment-7817 It would really have helped if, a long time ago, the Archbishop of Chicago had said, and had read from the pulpit of every parish in the Archdiocese, that DePaul University is no longer a Catholic university. It would help if, even now, the bishop of Fort Wayne and the entire episcopate of the U.S. (since ND is a national university) were to strongly caution parents against sending their children to Notre Dame and if the Pope were to order the Congregation of the Holy Cross to pull all their men out. That might send a mesage. It's all very well to be upbeat, positive and joyful, but thunderbolts should not go to rust in a bishop's armamentarium. - Lee Gilbert Sun, 21 Aug 2011 06:44:30 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/the-worlds-slow-stain.html#comment-7816 Thank you a great article which cites great writings by both John Paul and Benedict. Catholic popes have little problem expressing themselves clearly. It is the ENFORCEMENT area where it all breaks down. - Manfred Sun, 21 Aug 2011 03:09:39 +0100
