In reply to: Ram1 's message, "BC, ND, etc.... On the other hand, VU & GU.... I dont get the impression that Villanova or Georgetown find much value in the "Catholic college" concept. I think GU tries to play up the secular positon more than anyone, and in my opinion they should be ashamed.... (ie GU: crucifixes taken down in the classrooms- wouldnt see this in 5 million yrs at ND)" on 21:15:27 03/14/05 Mon

As a Catholic Institution, Villanova both emphasizes the values of the Christian humanistic tradition and concerns itself with all value systems. The University attempts to develop an environment in which students, faculty and staff may experience a Christian intellectual and moral perspective, believing that the teachings of the Catholic faith are applicable in every area of human activity. Although Villanova functions as an independent institution in the conduct of its own affairs, in matters theological it recognizes its obligation to the Magisterium of the Church. Villanova looks to the Order of St. Augustine to preserve the University's Augustinian character through its presence and influence and by providing personnel and financial support. In turn, the University recognizes its special relationship to the Order of St. Augustine by showing appropriate preference to Augustinians in the initial appointment of faculty and staff.
