"The vocation of a Catholic college is to feed the soul as well as the mind; to offer a vision of men and women made whole by the love of God, the knowledge of creation and the reality of things unseen; to see the beauty of the world in the light of eternity; to recapture the nobility of the human story and the dignity of the human person," said the Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia, in a recent lecture at Assumption College (Worcester, Massachusetts).
Archbishop Chaput was giving the D'Amour Lecture in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition on "Catholics and the Next America," part of the 2011-2012 Assumption College President's Lecture Series. The President's Lecture Series is a public forum in which important ethical, spiritual, and human issues are illuminated and examined within the Catholic intellectual tradition.
