Because of the popularity of our college guide and our
special colleges and universities issue in September, we have added a second
issue with an emphasis on higher education.
On page one of this issue, you’ll find a story about guides
to Catholic universities that focus on questions of Catholic identity. The
Register’s own “Catholic Identity College Guide” is online at NCRegister.com.
Just click the “Resources” tab to find it. We redesigned the Web version to
make it easier to use.
Readers appreciate our guide because it provides objective
information about the Catholic identity of a school.
With direct input from bishops (both here and in the
Vatican), universities and parents, we created 10 questions based on guidelines
the Church has provided — in canon law, papal documents and U.S. bishops’
documents. We posed these questions to Catholic universities. For each school
that responded, we provide a box checking off which aspects of Catholic
Identity they report compliance with.
As good as the guide is, it doesn’t provide a full picture
of life at the school, but only focuses on objective questions of Catholic
identity. For a fuller picture, we ask that readers look at the advertisements
these schools provide in the Register. The other guides recommended in our
story also provide additional information.
There is much else to enjoy in this issue — an impressive
mini-biography of Henry Hyde, a list of “war on Christmas” combatants, and,
above all, analysis of the new encyclical from Pope Benedict XVI. Enjoy!
