Interesting Views Part II

An interesting addition to the earlier blog.

     In writing the earlier blog, I began to think about a move many conservative Catholics are making today in higher education.  A handful of conservative Catholic colleges have been started over the last 15 years that boast of a highly faithful Catholic only faculty and cater mostly, if not exclusively to Catholic students.  The movement is in reaction to many colleges run by orders of the Catholic Church that have seemingly become too liberal and involve courses that question the teachings of the Church, often blatantly.  The historical developments studied for our course reminded me of these colleges and other institutions that have a more exclusive purpose and curriculum that can be interesting to investigate.  It shows in many ways that the movement to have schools form and shape values and religious beliefs is still very much alive in our country today--and not just involving Catholics.
