Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The Author notes that Catholic education today is suffering from an identity-crisis. As the Catholic university has become indifferent to its identity, it has predictably declined. Catholic educators are supposed to have the knowledge and will to defend Catholic wisdom. But for a variety of reasons there have been compromises and confusions seducing Catholic educators to abandon some of the essentials of Catholic wisdom. The Author analyzes the thesis that secularism as a worldview insinuates itself into Catholic universities, influencing actual instruction in the classroom, curricular design, and even campus culture. The influence persists, and without trained faculty and committed leadership to defend boldly Catholic wisdom. His point is that the transformation of Western society by secularists is analogous to the transformation that has taken place in Catholic universities.
