Two ghettos.As I read Maurice Timothy Reidy's article, I dreamt of a Catholic university that welcomed the likes of George Weigel George Weigel (Baltimore, 1951 - ) is an American Catholic author, and political and social activist. He currently serves as a Senior Fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Weigel was the Founding President of the James Madison Foundation. and Richard John Neuhaus Richard John Neuhaus (born May 21, 1936) is a prominent Catholic priest and writer born in Canada and living in the United States, where he is a naturalized citizen. He is the founder and editor of the monthly journal First Things as well as John Allen and Richard Rohr. Then I woke to the realization that we live in two ghettos: one on the left, the other on the right. We don't talk to one another except in periodicals like Commonweal com·mon·weal n. 1. The public good or welfare. 2. Archaic A commonwealth or republic. Noun 1. and First Things. Should our campuses be any different? JOHN MANAHAN, SM San Antonio, Tex. |
