(Mission statement of Magdalen College of the Liberal Arts) As our mission statement indicates, the mission of the college is an integrated one, consisting of a primary academic dimension and a spiritual dimension. The latter nourishes and orients the academic dimension while providing the animating principles of the larger collegiate culture and its ultimate purpose. Though these two aspects may be distinguished conceptually, in the lived experience of our community they are one. The natural outgrowth of this mission is a collegiate culture characterized by integral formation for human flourishing oriented to vocation through the free giving of self: “Man can fully discover his true self only in a sincere giving of himself” (Gaudium et spes § 24).

  • Chronicle- Who Is Catholic
    Who Is Catholic? New conservative colleges say existing institutions lead students away from the true faith By BURTON BOLLAG Naples, Fla. Colloquy Live: Read the transcript of a live, online discussion with David O'Brien, a historian of American Catholicism at the College of the Holy Cross, aBout the staunchly conservative Roman Catholic colleges that have Been recently estaBlished in the United States. Every evening at 9 o'clock a group of students and faculty members gathers between two four‐story student residences ‐‐ one for men, the other for women ‐‐ and sets off on a "rosary walk" around the former assisted‐living complex that serves as Ave Maria University's temporary campus, proclaiming the 20 mysteries of the life of Jesus Christ. At Ave Maria, Mass is celebrated three times a day, Latin is a required subject, and divorced Catholics are not welcome as faculty members. Opened last fall and currently enrolling 122 students, it is the best financed and the most ambitious of about a dozen new or planned Roman Catholic institutions of a very conservative bent. After a quarter century in which no new Catholic colleges were established, most of those being founded now are led by traditionalists who feel the majority of America's 230 Catholic colleges have strayed from the truth of the Catholic faith. The Rev. Joseph D. Fessio, a Jesuit and Ave Maria's chancellor, shares that view. He is bitterly critical of the University of San Francisco, the Jesuit institution where he taught for almost two decades, for such decisions as hiring a gay former priest as head of marriage‐and‐family counseling, and allowing students to stage the play The Vagina Monologues.

It is not lost on me that, “it takes a village.” My family has made many sacrifices for me that allowed for the “guilt-free” focus of time and energy on this endeavor. So many colleagues at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory have coached, mentored, taught, and even occasionally prodded me throughout the doctoral program. I am particularly thankful for those closest to me at the Lab. Many times their extra effort in the workplace made things easier for me or ensured that I did not get lost in the forest. I am grateful for the educational experience offered to me by the faculty and staff of Benedictine University, who are so committed to the success of their learners. My extended family and friends, brother Knights of Columbus, BU cohort, colleagues from the armed forces, fellow aviators, “Holy Catholic College,” technical editor, neighbors, and many others who always seemed to be there at just the right time to say or do just the thing that was needed at the moment. I am thankful for the genuinely special people and deep thinkers on my dissertation committee who served this effort.

  • Unacceptable
    DJ ______________________________________________________________________________ Unacceptable February 27, 2012 he Obama administration has offered what it has styled as an ―accommodation‖ for religious institutions in the dispute over the HHS mandate for coverage (without cost T sharing) of abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and contraception. The administration will now require that all insurance plans cover (―cost free‖) these same products and services. Once a religiously-affiliated (or believing individual) employer purchases insurance (as it must, by law), the insurance company will then contact the insured employees to advise them that the terms of the policy include coverage for these objectionable things. This so-called ―accommodation‖ changes nothing of moral substance and fails to remove the assault on religious liberty and the rights of conscience which gave rise to the controversy. It is certainly no compromise. The reason for the original bipartisan uproar was the administration’s insistence that religious employers, be they institutions or individuals, provide insurance that covered services they regard as gravely immoral and unjust. Under the new rule, the government still coerces religious institutions and individuals to purchase insurance policies that include the very same services. It is no answer to respond that the religious employers are not ―paying‖ for this aspect of the insurance coverage. For one thing, it is unrealistic to suggest that insurance companies will not pass the costs of these additional services on to the purchasers. More importantly, abortion- drugs, sterilizations, and contraceptives are a necessary feature of the policy purchased by the religious institution or believing individual. They will only be made available to those who are insured under such policy, by virtue of the terms of the policy.
