The Trouble With Jesuits, Part 28
Proof that I am RIGHT.
Two articles, one in First Things, the other in The Atlantic. The First Things article is in response to The Atlantic one, entitled "The New brand of Jesuit Universities".
As Jones points out in her article, Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri has removed “Jesuit” from the university tagline, while Denver’s Regis University actually hides its Catholic affiliation.
“We hide the word ‘Catholic’ from prospective students,” said Traci McBee, who helps oversee fundraising efforts at Regis University. “We focus on the Jesuit piece rather than the Catholic piece. We’re able to transform a little quicker because we are not waiting for the archbishop to give us permission. We don’t have to ask the Pope when we want to make changes.”
Just as I suspected. The "Jesuit piece" is more important than the "Catholic piece".
