Clueless Latin Catholic Academics

CWR: Catholic universities, contemplation, and our cultural future by Joseph G. Trabbic
What many parents still fail to grasp is that their children’s university education isn’t just going to get them a job, it’s going to give them a worldview.

We can redeem the culture in the twenty-first century, if we want to. Universities are essential to that project. The good news is that in Catholic higher education we don’t need to start from scratch. The institutions already exist to advance this project. They only need our encouragement, support, and the right leadership.

Culture must be redeemed first by existing healthy communities; higher education is proving itself increasingly irrelevant and unnecessary to the creation of community, and Latins will have to learn how to do without them in an age of collapse.
