Originsonline.com had the following:
“An authentic Catholic university ‘needs to affirm confidently what those great medieval universities assumed: Faith and reason are the foundation for a university education,’ says Toronto Archbishop Thomas Collins. This means the Catholic university must be countercultural, resisting the secular tendency to dismiss religious insight as either a ‘cultural artifact on the museum shelf of comparative religion’ or an ’emotional security blanket needed by some to cope with a threatening world,’ he says.” www.originsonline.com/thisweek1.htm
I wonder what would happen to enrollment at our Catholic colleges and universities if they truly founded their curricula and methods of education on faith and reason, giving ample attention to both sources of truth.
Hard to say. Any ideas?
