Wyoming Catholic College Hiring

Thomistica

"Trivium – The applicant should have a demonstrated background in teaching Logic and/or Rhetoric (both written and spoken would be strongly preferred), as well as knowledge of logical principles and rhetorical theory. Prior work in a college-level Writing Program, Writing Center, or Writing Across the Curriculum initiative would be ideal."

Why can't this be brought down to the secondary level?

Catholic Masculinity

The eighth annual Napa Valley Catholic Men's Conference will be taken place on April 20. It is sponsored in part by Ignatius Press, which is unfortunately promoting the movie Courageous in the flier for the conference. (The movie of course is listed in recent IP catalogs as well.)

Does this indicate the direction of the thinking behind the conference? Since I've never been to one, I do not know, but someone should say something to IP about it. Dalrock's critique of the movie should be cause for rethinking whether such a movie should be promoted and sold. Then again, the infiltration of "conservative" Catholicism by feminism is rather complete. Will someone clue in Bishop Vasa, who will be present at the conference, on the problems of Catholic feminism?

In previous years, I believe Jesse Romero has spoken at the conference. This year the speakers include Patrick Coffin and Charlie Aeschliiman, "a former Navy SEAL and trick basketball handling champion." Being in the military is no guarantee that one understands, much less is able to advocate, patriarchy. Relating properly to other man and the community and the Church - one must also relate properly to one's wife and other women. What well-known Catholic laymen/apologist can give such a robust defense of patriarchy? Dalrock has a post on something germane to this point: What we need is more chivalry!

Here is an example of the cultural wisdom that has been lost with the latest revolution in culture and mores: Advice on love and physical attraction, 1920s-style.

CBS is broadcasting another NYPD cop drama - Golden Boy. I think it was Vox who wrote something recently about LEOs and the popularity of cop shows in light of the alleged corruption of LAPD. CBS alone has Blue Bloods and the cancelled NYC 22, both located in NYC. Why is NYC such a popular setting for cop shows? Third Watch (which also had FD paramedics), Brooklyn South, there are many others as well.

I may watch the first episode, but since it's on CBS it will be PC. I am surprised that no major female characters have been put on display in the promos so far, but the series wlll probably have a feminsit bent.




Do we look up to law enforcement officers too much? It may be understandable for boys to do so, but what of adult men? Some may live vicariously through cop shows, but how many of us have a rather suspicious attitude, or worse, towards police officers? While the sheep of the megapolis have no understanding of what it is to defend themselves and their loved ones, those who believe that being a warrior is part of the obligation of a citizen can appreciate the work that is done by police officers while not giving them some sort of special social or moral status.

NLM: Singing the Propers at Wyoming Catholic College by Jeffrey Tucker

I was looking at the curriculum and reading list for Wyoming Catholic College. The theology practicums are rather interesting; during the sophomore year students read the Carmelite doctors (St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Avila, and St. Thérèse of Lisieux). A different way to approach "ascetical and mystical theology"? (Certainly it's different from reading Aumann or Garrigou-Lagrange.)

Here are the requirements for the co-majors and professional majors in Philosophy at Benedictine College, and the requirements for majors in Theology.

The liturgical life at Wyoming Catholic College

Shawn Tribe has a post on it.

If the college is sustainable, it could be even more attractive than Christendom. But that is the big question for all academic institutions, isn't it?

I haven't seen any photos of the college's chapel.

Edit: There are some included here--F.S.S.P in Wyoming

From WCC at a Glance:

The Crest of Wyoming Catholic College

The Crest of Wyoming Catholic College captures the mission of the college. The Eagle with its breast shield represents far-sighted wisdom. The Lion on the Crest is the symbol of Christ the King. The Book and Sword stand for learning and truth. The Mountain, Sun, and Wheat signify the created world, which also instructs the students. And the Moon is the symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Seat of Wisdom, above the Wall and Anchor of the Church and its faith. Truth (Verum), Goodness (Bonum), and Beauty (Pulchrum) are the goals of the College’s Mission of Discovery.

Wyoming Catholic College

This morning I received a call from Storck the Younger; he wanted to know where I was so he could send his letter. We caught up a bit, he is applying for the Christendom position. During the conversation he mentioned the "new Catholic school" in Wyoming--I checked the Internet and found its website. The philosophy curriculum includes a philosophy of nature course, which is something that Christendom does not have.

Evidently his sisters are applying for graduate programs and the older sister is looking for a husband. (You know who you are, the one who is interested.)

Which reminds me, I had another dream about pseudo-Christendom (which resembled Magdalen more in many ways)--I was talking to some of the professors and driving a truck. Weird.
