"The Dean of the College of Arts and Letters at the University of Notre Dame makes a cogent case for intellectual rigor, faith and reason to underpin Catholic educational establishments." —Conscience "The second half of the title suggests a revision of Cardinal Newman's The Idea of a University that is suitable to the contemporary American Catholic campus; the first half refines the vision by concentrating on the intellectual aspects of Catholicism that contribute to this achievement." —Faith and Reason
Mark W. Roche presents a clear, precise, and positive view of the challenge and promise of a Catholic university. Roche makes visible the ideal of a Catholic university and illuminates in original ways the diverse, but interconnected, dimensions of Catholic identity. Roche's vision of the distinct intellectual mission of a Catholic university will appeal to Catholics as well as to persons who are not Catholic but who may recognize through this essay the unexpected allure of a Catholic university.
