ALERT: Pope Benedict Sounds Call to Renewal of Catholic Colleges

Pope Benedict, in a much anticipated speech on April 17 to Catholic college presidents and other educators offered a clear and profound articulation of the role of Catholic education in the 21st century.  “Pope Benedict called Catholic colleges to educate the whole person, heart, mind and soul, by seeking truth in the light of faith and reason,” said Patrick Reilly, President of The Cardinal Newman Society.

“While there is much to reflect on in Pope Benedict’s speech, those concerned with the crisis in Catholic higher education were provided with two critical signposts on the roadmap for renewal:

Catholic colleges must be unwavering in their commitment to Catholic teachings in everything they do, from the classroom to the dorm room; and

Academic freedom at a Catholic college must be informed and tempered by the Catholic faith and the teachings of the Church.

“The renewal of Catholic higher education is well underway, and when its history is written, Pope Benedict’s speech today may well be remembered as the tipping point when Catholic colleges finally and irrevocably recommitted themselves to the critical task of authentic Catholic education.”
