Email This Article The Holy See’s Teaching On Catholic Schools - Archbishop J. Michael Miller, C.S.BThe Holy See, through its documents and interventions, whether of the Pope or of other Vatican offices, sees in Catholic schools an enormous heritage and an indispensable instrument in carrying out the Church's mission in the third Christian millennium. Ensuring their genuinely Catholic identity is the Church's greatest challenge. Email This Article The Idea of a University - Michael NovakFollowing is the text of Michael Novak's commencement address at Ave Maria College in Ann Arbor, Michigan, delivered on May 3, 2003. Email This Article The Importance of the Classics - LOUISE COWANThe great books speak to us of honor and love and sacrifice; but they do not always speak in familiar phrases.

Email This Article The Key to Self-Esteem - J. Fraser FieldI’d like to pass on a few additional reflections about self-esteem and the self-esteem movement. Email This Article The Language Police - Diane Ravitch"Adam and Eve"? Replace with "Eve and Adam." "Little person"? Replace with "person of small stature." "Slave"? Replace with "enslaved person."

Email This Article The Late, Great St. Ignatius Institute - Tom HoopesFor those who graduated from the St. Ignatius Institute, the most important thing that needs to be said is that it was, in many ways, exactly what Catholic higher education should be. It was truly alma mater — a “nurturing mother” — to scores of students like me. It trained our minds, our hearts and our wills, and it literally changed us forever. Email This Article The Law and the Constitution - James HitchcockA loose, but comfortable, working relationship between religion and the public order was accepted by almost everybody until at least World War II. Email This Article The Liberal Arts and Sexual Morality - Peter KreeftAre the liberal arts and sexual morality connected? There is strong evidence that they are, for if we graph their development over the last half-century, we will see an almost identical curve of accelerating decline. Although this proves nothing, it certainly suggests something worth exploring more deeply. Email This Article The Limits of Tolerance - Tim DrakeWhen the president of a Catholic university, Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J., refused to allow a pro-abortion speaker to appear on campus, he touched off a lively debate about the nature of academic freedom and the implications of a school’s Catholic identity.
