Secularism and Catholic higher education in America with Rodney Howsare

Spe Salvi Institute Podcast

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Rodney Howsare, a professor of theology, to discuss his recent thought-provoking article in Catholic World Report titled "Secularism and Catholic Higher Education in America.”

Dr. Howsare explores the challenges facing Catholic universities and colleges in the U.S., as they navigate an increasingly secular culture and how secularism has, in many respects, become the “social imaginary” of Catholic schools, distorting religion into a voluntary, private affair. Dr. Howsare points us beyond this social imaginary and to a better idea of religion.
