We had a wonderful time at tonight's talk on "What has happened to our Catholic Colleges and Universities." A good dinner and an excellent talk.
Although the problem has been acknowledged by the Holy See and recognized by a number of parents and students, I suspect that the vast majority of Catholic parents are unaware of the dangers that await their children at many "Catholic" institutions of higher learning.
Dr. James Hitchcock addressed the issue from a perspective that I had never heard before, and, as an history professor, he did a remarkable job explaining how the problem of secularization of Catholic colleges appears to be cyclical.
There will be tapes and CDs made. I look forward to listening to Dr. Hitchcock's presentation again while driving to and from work. Credo St. Louis may be able to provide copies. See the Credo post here in you're interested.
I have only been to two of these talks (the first to hear and meet Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz) and both were very informative. It's really a joy to be able to learn from solid, orthodox Catholics.
