Note: We’ve been doing well in our end-of-year fundraising, but to be frank, we’re slowing a little more than we ought to at this point. I deliberately do not make emotional appeals during these drives because I think of our readers as adults who respond to an adult message about what we’ve done and how much more needs doing. But we need more of you to step up – and seriously – in these few days we devote to seeking resources for the coming year. The case is clear. The time is now. Click the button. Make your contribution to the work of The Catholic Thing. – Robert Royal
Imagine it is 1955 and professors at major Catholic universities are asked to write a “solidarity statement eschewing all association with Communism and affirming their commitment to America and American values, including free-market capitalism.” Imagine faculty members were asked in addition to specify how they would personally inculcate those values in their classrooms, mentorships, research with students, and in all other areas of their professional life? Imagine that it was additionally made clear that this “request” was coming from the Office of Academic Affairs and the Provost’s Office and that their solidarity statements were being offered to help faculty members get started on their own.Related posts
