| On the virtue of studiousness
Taking his lead from St. Thomas Aquinas, Dean of Faculty, Dr. Michael Healy, elaborates several ways in which the student's search for knowledge is related to the moral life. |
| What is distributism?
Following up on earlier articles, by Regina Schmiedicke and Michael Welker, Catholic author and editor, Thomas Storck, mentions some de-humanizing tendencies in capitalism cited in papal encyclicals. He then discusses distributism--a theory of economics championed by Chesterton, Belloc and others--and explains why he thinks it more consonant with our faith than capitalism. |
| Computers and liberal learning
Senior Ben Brown continues the discussion of education by considering to what extent computer literacy can be considered as part of a liberal arts education. |
| Rights of workers: an under-appreciated part of Catholic social teaching
Pro-life worker John Cavanaugh-O'Keefe agrees with Regina Schmiedicke that unfair labor practices are widespread in Catholic apostolates. He argues that Catholics tend to separate themselves into either/or groups--either pro-life or pro-worker--when the fullness of Catholic teaching requires dedication to both. |
| The eternally practical liberal arts
Professor of French, Timothy Williams, responds to Jason Negri's push for more professional training by insisting that so far from being an obstacle to gainful employment, a liberal arts education is an excellent preparation for virtually any profession. He says the real problem is with students taking on ill-advised debt, not with their choosing liberal arts. |
