Higher Education is Broken. Can Catholicism Fix It? (George Weigel) - 6/30/25

from The Simple Truth · host The Station of the Cross

6/30/25 - Catholic scholar and theologian George Weigel explores why Catholic universities - with their roots in free, rigorous debate - are uniquely positioned to renew higher education amid today's cultural crisis. Dive into excerpts from his addresses, where he challenges graduates to embrace their degrees as a "summons to become trustees of a great tradition," and reflects on the vital interplay between faith, reason, and culture. Discover how Pope St. John Paul II's vision of education influences his call to cultivate the "diakonia of the truth" on campus, and why his advice - part encouragement, part challenge - is so timely.
