- Title
HAS THE CATHOLIC INTELLECTUAL A FUTURE IN AMERICA?
- Authors
Evane, John Whitney
- Abstract
The article throws light on the author's views on the future of religious commitment in the U.S. This is the assumption that the believer is also soft-minded; and that the Catholic, among all believers, is also, for theological and institutional reasons, narrow-minded. The salient conclusions of the study include that the condition of teachers in Catholic colleges and universities can be regarded as professionally less ideal than that of their counterparts in other institutions of higher education. Secondly, energized by social and economic changes over the past thirty Tears, the current generation of Catholics is entering academic life and seeks scholarly or professional careers in a proportion that adequately represents the total Catholic population and places it on a par with American Protestants and Jews in seeking higher learning. Finally, recent intellectual activity among Catholics suggests that the ethnic factor in the aspirations and achievements of sub-groups in American life has not been examined sufficiently, and that it may no longer be ignored in attempting to explain the dimensions and energies of American pluralism.
