What Is The Best Catholic University?

[Socrates]

Scott Hahn has said he'd really rather teach at Christendom!

Theoketos, TAC is completely Thomistic in every class, including philosophy. Ice, thanks for the clarification. I know a Christendom grad, and I thought she (as well as our old priest, but he did not go there) told me they had to wear skirts or dresses. This might have been changed to include pants? When did you graduate? They may have just failed to mention that pants were allowed for some reason, but I do not know. Do you know if the rules changed possibly? Thanks. God bless.

The best college depends on what you're going to college for, however I have heard that the vatican has stated it's approval of only 3 schools in US (this does not imply disapproval of others just that these three stand out enough to be mentioned) these are FUS, UD and St. Thomas (in So. Cal).

[quote name='DominaNostra' date='Sep 17 2004, 04:42 PM'] I forgot to mention, Steubenville graduates are not hired in a Diocese in Nebraska (probably Lincoln). That is one reason that I am always cautious of the school as a whole (not necessarily every single teacher, though). [/quote]
umm, that's not true....I know Stuebenville grads working in both the dioceses of Nebraska.

Girls are required to wear dresses or skirts to Sunday Mass and brunch. Wearing pants to class and weekday Mass has always been allowed as far as I know, unless the Christendom grad you know graduated way back in the early years of the college and knows something I don't. lol I graduated about 2 years ago. Some of the rules have been tweaked (rules about skirts, for example, have been made clearer, and what shirts guys are allowed to wear, etc.) but not outright changed.

ha! thats great

[Socrates]

What's so funny?

He really said that. He's lectured at Christendom a number of times, including its summer Apologetics Institute.

Nebraska has three diocese, Grand Island, Omaha, and Lincoln. I know grads from stubie who teach in Lincoln and Omaha so the other is Grand Island. And if what you say is true the reason there are no teachers from stubie in Grand Island isnt because FU is a weird or unorthodox campus but just the opposite they prolly wont hire them specifically because the grads are conservative. (knowing what i know about Grand Island)

[Theoketos]

I know that Benedictine College Alumni are hired everywhere!

Well if Scott Hahn (and Miravalle) switched to Christendom I suppose it would then be my favorite Catholic school. But until then..

ding ding ding

we have a winner

[rachael]

there are many more than what's on that list that may be better...

[popestpiusx]

None on that list.

[shelly_freak]

FUS all the way! But I'm slightly biased because thats where I wanna go. And as for which diocese will hire me as long as it's a warmer state I'm all good.

[Theoketos]

Benedictine College > FUS

[StColette]

oooh James, I got my package from Benedictine yesterday I'm apply there and at Steubie If I don't get in at Steubie I'm probably going to attend Benedictine

[rufiokicks]

I voted Fransiscan because my youth minister went there and now he's trying to get me to go there

[Theoketos]

[quote name='kateri05' date='Sep 17 2004, 01:24 PM'] any catholic university/college that takes the Mandatum is "the best", eliminating all schools, as far as i know, except:
Ave Maria
Stubie
Christendom
Thomas Aquinas
Magdalene

there might be one or two more, but DEFINTELY NOT CUA, Georgetown, Notredame, and a few others historically known as big name catholic colleges [/quote]
One Benedictine College signed the Mandatum, with out being asked.

Two St. Collete, be sure that it is Benedictine [b]College[/b]

At Benedictine College in the Theology Department there is Dr. Sri, who was disciple of Scot Hahn, and except in language is brilliant....

And Dr. White...who studied with Dr. Hahn and coverted with/after him, and is mentioned many times in Dr. Hahn's conversion tapes...

[Fiat_Voluntas_Tua]

I would have to say that the Benedictine College of Atchison, Kansas is well rounded and perfect for those who not only want solid Theology and Philosophy but also a chance to be an example...That is the best part about BC...Not everyone is hardcore daily Mass-rosary-adoration buffs like a FUS. It is a battle field where charity preveils.

This world we live in is diverse, so i want a school which is going to be diverse. My Faith life is not seperate from the world but part of it.

St. Colette, I recommend keeping in mind where you will grow the most...FUS is great. BC is great. But remember you are a light...where will it shine the most? (I am not trying to persuade you into BC, but just keep the whole picture in mind.) If you have questions about BC ask me, Theoketos, or Duc_In_Altum...we all have gone/are going to school there.

Totus tuus,
Andy

[StColette]

lol I'm apply to both FUS and BC. I feel very pulled toward FUS so it's going to be my first choice if I get accepted to both.
