What Makes a College Catholic?
Robert Geroux November 25, 2013 - 9:39pm
Every year, the National Catholic Register comes out with a Catholic identity list. Some of these schools are considered "New Catholic Colleges," some are not. What makes a school authentically Catholic? According to the NCR, at least some of these features:
- The university president takes an "Oath of Fidelity"
- The majority of trustees are Catholic
- Theology professors have the Mandatum, and take the "Oath of Fidelity"
- "Advocates" of stem cell research, euthanasia and abortion are excluded as recipients of honorary degrees and as commencement speakers
- Co-ed dorms are banned
There are currently 37 colleges and universities on the list, which can be found here: http://www.ncregister.com/site/article/catholic-identity-college-guide-13/
What do you think about the list? Is it good for Catholic higher education, or not?
Commenting Guidelines
I received a Master of Arts in Theology from HACS which is located on the NCR approved list. The school has a good distance learning program and is priced reasonably. I never attended a Catholic school and wasn't prepared for this kind of experience and I must admit that I did not do sufficient due diligence on the school before enrolling. BTW, I think the so-called "Cardinal Newman Society" had something to do with compiling this list.
I found the study of theology at this school very unrewarding - sources were checked to make sure they were "orthodox" and I believe I was penalized for quoting non-approved sources. Thomas Aquinas was the only theologian we really studied (for Dogmatic Theology) and we had to analyze and quote the Summa Theologica so often I felt like I was in the cultural revolution in China waving a little red book.
We were often told that our objective was to be "good" Catholics. That wasn't my objective - I wanted to study Theology. Interaction with fellow students was also a bit strange (from my perspective) - one student claimed to be a "Slave" of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I find it hard to take another school on NCR's list named after "John Paul the Great" seriously.
Maybe it was me who had an issue. Don't know. I hope other readers had better experiences studying theology at Catholic Universities. I'm sure they did.
Hmmm. Some of those schools, while perhaps awash with "Catholic identity" (creepy term), seem to be lacking basic accredidation.
Interesting in terms of *orthodoxy* vs. the quest for learing and a full approach to *faith seeking understanding*
Not one Jesuit university
Obviously, CUA as a *pontifical* school is on the list.
University of Dallas - ultra conservative; experienced my kids having to *endure* high school religion teachers trained at UD....what a loss of opportunity, time, etc.; lack of knowledge about catholic social teachings (or very little stress); only teaching method was to memorize the catechism (and how well that works today for teenagers).
We are past the *let's only focus on Thomism or Neo-Thomism*.....where is Vatican II's influence on this list? It is as if time stood still since 1960.
Additional comments - largest catholic university in the US is DePaul University in Chicago - Vincentian; there is also St. John's in NYC; and the Vincentians have another university in Buffalo,NY. Don't see St. John's in Collegeville,MN....same with other Benedictine universities (with a couple of exceptions).
St. Thomas in Houston - Basilians
But, beyond that, no other order schools - whether male or female.
A couple of thoughts. I think being a 'really Catholic' college could be a very good thing. Apropos to a couple of the comments re: academic excellence: I suppose being a 'really Catholic' dry cleaner could also be a good thing. But if it doesn't get the clothes clean, then it would seem to be not succeeding in its core mission, no matter how Catholic it is.
To the extent that the colleges on this list produce bright, critical-thinking graduates who are well versed in the faith and ready to bring it into the world, what's not to like?
The Catholic church is a big tent. There should be room for a number of different educational approaches. Some segment of the college-age members of our church want the sort of educational experience that these self-proclaimed orthodox colleges and universities provide. Why not give it to them?
Catholic colleges need to seek the truth using every relevant discipline they can access. Everything else will follow. It is up to them to lead. The axial age of Catholicism as a religion is over. We are moving into a post-axial age faith and moral agency phenomenon. Catholics need to to read, connect the dots, and the new reality will reveal itself.
Lists like this are no more harmful than the Princeton Review's ratings of party schools, and less harmful than the U.S. News ratings, which many people take seriously and some admissions officers spend too much time gaming.
The standards laid out by the Register seem aimed less at engaging in the major intellectual issues of the day than in cocooning students with answers from the intellectual issues of former days. I wonder where the list-makers stand on evolution.
I would be happy if my daughters attended a Catholic College. If one of their choices were on this list, though, I would have to scrutinize the school very carefully to make sure it isn't overly zealous about a narrow brand of Catholicism I don't really care for.
My daughter is looking at Catholic high schools right now; I knocked one off our list when I saw that its mission statement made a big point of saying it was "faithful to the magisterium of the Catholic Church". And so it should be, but I took this statement to imply that maybe it thought it was somehow different than all of the other Catholic schools in that way. I wouldn't want my daughter in that kind of environment.
So this list of authentically Catholic colleges could be helpful to those of who want a Catholic college, but not one that thinks they are the only ones truly Catholic.
Three of my four kids attended Catholic colleges -- two went to Fordham and one went to Providence. My wife and I are thoroughly displeased with Fordham even though one of our two kids was Phi Beta Kappa there.
Of the many schools we visted, Catholic and secular, University of Dallas was the best experience (with Boston University second). It is not "ultra-conservative". We sat in on three classes and were impressed with the quality of the teachers and the interaction of the students. One particularly enjoyable class was on Faulkner's "The Bear" from "Go Down Moses". It was taught by a Cistercian. My sense was that UD was orthodox without being a "fortress school". My son preferred NYC to Dallas.
I took one course at Holy Apostles college called "Philosophy for Theologians" and found it immensely edifying. There's no denying, however, that they really like Aristotle and Aquinas as opposed to say, Hume and Kant.
Having spent a considerable time at one of these 37 institutions during the hottest fervor of Ex Corde, I would observe only that, much like the U.S. News lists, this is chiefly a matter of branding and marketing, and should be regarded thus. It's just business.
My alma mater, Loyola in Chicago, emphatically is not on the list. Nevertheless, when I attended school there, there were some students - not a majority, but at least some - who would have fit the profile I imagine these 'orthodox' colleges want: pious in their Catholicism, and with a conservative, culture-warrior tendency in their politics. Of course, there were other students - more than this first group - who thought the Catholic church badly needed reform, and who were quite liberal in their politics. There were also quite a few who were Catholic only in the sense of family heritage, who rolled their eyes at the theology requirements for graduation. And there were all sorts of other types of Catholics, if we feel the urge to divide ourselves into types. A place like Loyola attracted Catholic students from all points on the continuum (I suppose, more than one continuum). I don't doubt the same would be true of Notre Dame, Fordham, Marquette, et al.
Btw, the same seemed to be true of the faculty - all different types and stripes.
Naturally, a so-called 'orthodox' Catholic student at Loyola in my day wouldn't have been in the majority. Like the black students, the gay students, the Jewish students, and other minority groups, they seem to have done their best to survive and thrive in an environment that surely wasn't always as supportive as they would wish. I can see that some students wouldn't want to go to a school where they are in a minority.
Some of these schools strike me as Catholic versions of Liberty U, the Jerry Falwell founded institution. I guess it is ok, but what worries me about many is that rather than being a places of inquiry,as colleges ought to be, they have ready made answers.
I remember back when our daughters were "college shopping" going to one Catholic university (not on this list) and reading the student newspaper about a controversey over a proposed performance of a play by a campus group. The President had banned it from campus as not consistent with Catholic values, and the student paper wanted to present a pro and con article on the controversey. They had a student written piece supporting the President, but couldn't find a single student willing to write the opposite point of view. Ultimately, a junior faculty member did it in order to insure that anopposing point of view was available. I have to say I had serious questions about open inquiry at that school when the student body was unwilling to publicly question the school administration. Banning a well know play was troubling, but maybe could be justified. the unwillingness of the student body and apparently even other more senior faculty to publicly question the decision even more so. Needless to say, my daughter chose another college.
Charles, I graduated from Fordham several (several) years ago and live nearby. I'm interested to learn why you and your wife are displeased with it. Can you elaborate?
I'm well acquainted with one of the schools, and it's been disappointing over the decades to watch it shift from what it was to what it has become. (One example: a famous liberal theologian, writer, journal editor, who flourished in the 30s, 40s, and 50s is forgotten now, and his name is misspelled on the list of deceased faculty.)
But the pendulum swings both ways. In another fifty years, the school might be liberal again.
If Catholic means universal, then it's only fitting that there be schools for those who need an unchallenging enviornment in which to seek a mate.
Kudos to any college that prohibits "The Vagina Monologues". I've read the play and it doesn't remotely approach qualifying as literature. I've read "controversial" works ("Howl", "Last Exit to Brooklyn", "Ulysses", Celine, Bukowski, "Tropic of Cancer", etc) and "The Vagina Monologues" is infinitely inferior to the weakest of these works. Talk about unchallenging!
Was I the only one who laughed out loud when I got to the bottom of the list of requirements and read "Co-ed dorms are banned"? The level of mistrust and preoccupation with sexuality is too much. Why not just put all the girls in chastity belts and have done with it?
FWIW, I lived in a co-ed dorm for a couple of years (women on the third floor, men on the second, common areas on the first), and seeing those guys wander around in their ratty bathrobes watching Bugs Bunny cartoons on Saturday morning in the TV room while eating their Capn Crunch was a sufficient romantic deterrent. So was the fact that they had noses like bloodhounds that would lead them into the common kitchen anytime we were baking cookies or making popcorn hoping for a handout like a bunch of big dumb dogs. Some we were able to view with fraternal affection. Some were just louts who were banned from the third floor (yes, we posted a list).
Agree with the *marketing* comment but, that being said:
Compare this list to Francis's encyclical today and some key phrases:
- "self-absorbed promethean neopelagianism of those who ultimately trust only in their own powers and feel superior to others because they observe certain rules or remain intransigently faithful to a particular Catholic style from the past. A supposed soundness of doctrine or discipline leads instead to a narcissistic and authoritarian elitism, whereby instead of evangelizing, one analyzes and classifies others, and instead of opening the door to grace, one exhausts his or her energies in inspecting and verifying. In neither case is one really concerned about Jesus Christ or others. These are manifestations of an anthropocentric immanentism. It is impossible to think that a genuine evangelizing thrust could emerge from these adulterated forms of Christianity." (#94)
"One of the more serious temptations which stifles boldness and zeal is a defeatism which turns us into querulous and disillusioned pessimists, "sourpusses".
Yes, Mr. Ryder, Univ. of Dallas is ultra-conservative....the wars at the university have calmed between the school of theology and the school of religious ministry but only because *orthodoxy* prevailed.....it is also owned/operated by the Dallas bishop (a cultural warrior)
Agree with the comment that most of this list reminds me of Falwell's Liberty University - it stresses not the search for faith but self-referential denominationalism. The only *mission* is to preserve the past and its presumed orthodoxy.
Patrick McGuiness: I'm old enough to remember (maybe you know this too) that the "Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary" were those who followed Father Leonard Feeney and his coterie -- the Saint Benedict Center -- in Cambridge, Massachusetts some decades ago. The invaluable Google shows me that it was a group called MICM Mancipia Immaculati Cordis Mariae (Mancipium in the singular), or "Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary", which is the name of the Catholic order founded by a member of the Saint Benedict Center.
http://www.fatherfeeney.org/ will give you more information, including a warning against the dangers of hiring Jewish fundraisers to get money to build or re-do Catholic churches.
Feeney was excommunicated for repeating the teachings of Pope Boniface VIII that only Roman Catholics stand a chance of salvation, and though I believe he was reconciled to the church before his death, I don't know what the status of the Slaves is today.
I was shocked - shocked, I tell you! - to see that none of the east coast Jesuit schools is on the list.
Question for all those peddling the notion of "Catholic Identity" for colleges:
Is there such a thing as a "Catholic" calculus course? Do they even teach such courses at these types of colleges?
"To the extent that the colleges on this list produce bright, critical-thinking graduates who are well versed in the faith and ready to bring it into the world, what's not to like?"
Name one!
In order to make the list, the "Catholic" colleges' presidents and professors of theology must disobey Jesus' specific command against swearing oaths.
Matthew 5:34-37
I suspect that the compilers of this list would NOT agree with this man:
The university is not a think tank fed by industrial, governmental or military sources in order to churn out research in which the one common note is that the assumptions of its donors are never questioned ... It is the nature of universities to question assumptions, and indeed to the extent that such questions are absent, the university fails to achieve the fullness of its own being ... Universities are nervous about absolutes, and even more nervous about the intellectual vice known as absolutism ... Intellect and faith cannot meet on any ground where either is so much in control that the other is effectively excluded.
Timothy Healy, SJ, Learning and Belief in the Catholic University (article), "America", 7‑7‑90.
And would they be quick to hire this man to teach?
"The view taken of a University in these Discourses is the following. -- That it is a place of teaching universal knowledge. This implies that its object is, on the one hand, intellectual, not moral; and, on the other, that it is the diffusion and extension of knowledge rather than the advancement. If its object were scientific and philosophical discovery, I do not see why a University should have students; if religious training, I do not see how it can be the seat of literature and science."
J. H. Newman, from the "Preface," The Idea of a University
"As to the range of University teaching, certainly the very name of University is inconsistent with restrictions of any kind."
From Discourse II, The Idea of a University
Patrick McGuiness,
When I was enrolled at HACS, there was a faculty member who shared on his private blog that he read "Commonweal", "America", "Soujorners", etc. He didn't have any "conservative" publications listed (maybe he had "First Things" -- I forget).
You refer to one student who was a "Slave of the Immaculate Heart". I don't think he was representative of the typical student. One cheery fellow who was quite active on the boards was a self-confessed liberal. No one ever gave him grief and the interaction with him was always pleasent.
Bill deHass,
We disagree on our assessment of U. of Dallas. However, they cleaned house a number of years and it wasn't liberals that they got rid of in this instance (Janet Smith, Mitch Pacwa, Marcellino D'Ambrosio). The president at the time told Pacwa that he "didn't want another Steubenville" at Dallas. Besides, calling UD "ultra-conservative" is like caling BC, Georgetown and DePaul ultra-liberal. Can you honestly say that they're "middle-of-the-road", impartial and entirely objective?
As far as the "mainstream" Catholic schools embracing the whole Gospel where these "orthodox" or "authoritarian" schools don't, just look at schools like Manhattan or Duquesne who have fought the attempts of adjuncts to unionize while their coffers remain swollen. I wouldn't say that they're exactly for the little people. Manhattan attempted to hide behind its status as a Catholic school, a religious institution. Unfortunately, the National Labor Relations Board didn't quite see it that way. To them, Manhattan didn't qualify as a religious institution. Thank goodness it wasn't the Cardinal Newman Society that leveled such a charge.
Eileen Markey,
I am displeased with Fordham as I would be displeased with many of today's universities -- inflated cost of attendence, lack of intellectual diversity, too many marginal courses, Mumia posters in faculty offices. But the main reason is that while my kids faithfully attended Mass when they entered Fordham, now they don't. They did for a while. On one visit my daughter told me that she was the only one of her close friends (all Catholics) who went to Mass. Now, according to the criteria that many on this thread subscribe to, my kids received a splendid education. They vote democrat, they are liberal if not left-wing, and one thinks Noam Chomsky is great. All that would be fine is they could intelligently defend their positions, but they lack argumentative skills to express why they think as they do. I'd just be happy if they would return to frequenting the Eucharist.
Anyone know: How do the kids from the new more conservative schools fare upon graduation? I wonder if any personnel offices take a look at the grads, and think, "This kid isn't going to be able to handle working with a diverse group of people," and pass them by?
Our daughter attends UW-Madison, a very secular, and by and large liberal institution. She has maintained her faith and active participation despite whatever contrary influences she experiences there. Of course I can't say this is due to her attending this school. If she were to move away from her Catholic life, I couldn't ascribe that to the university either. I think there's something natural for young people to question and change. Our hope is always that the roots are deep enough to hold them fast to the metaphorical earth we've created for them throughout their development.
I think too that our responses to various influences take a longer time to manifest than we realize. It's not as if one takes a theology course and next day views the world through a different lens. The absorption of these lessons takes time. There are very few young (college aged) people who can adequately defend their beliefs. Those that do, or appear to, scare me. Their beliefs are very rarely backed up by experience and context other than what they've read or been instructed. Give them time.
I'm both surprised and not surprised that the Catholic university I went to didn't make the list. Surprised because it would have answered yes to the questions that I know the answer to. Not surprised because while it is undeniably a Catholic university, it isn't as insular as some would want. I suspect that they aren't on the list because they didn't respond to the questions. The list isn't compatible with attracting a large minority of non-Catholic students.
Cathleen: or maybe the recruiter will think: "This kid will be good at doing the best job he can of exactly what we tell him to do, no more and no less. There will be no need to clean up the mess created by his ill-thought initiatives. Perfect."
I don't think recruiters are aware of the internecine issues in the Catholic Church. A business major going for a job would not be rejected because s/he had been president of the Life Club in college.
How graduates from any religious college fare would be an interesting question, whether they're from Ave Maria, Bob Jones, or Brigham Young. There was a recent article in the NYT Magazine about Mormon students in the entertainment industry that I found interesting:
I generally agree with Gerelyn's observation, and, further, I'm not sure that recruiters assume that those who go to colleges affiliated with a particular denomination necessarily do so for religious reasons.
How do the kids from the new more conservative schools fare upon graduation?
Is this really the measure of quality higher education? I would have thought it was something more akin to "have they advanced in their ability to search for and find Truth?" And yes its capitalized because truth is just an opaque view of Truth.
University of Dallas and the Institute of Religious and Pastoral Studies:
Some clarifications:
- not sure that this is a liberal vs. conservative/Orthodox situation
- rather, the IRPS had so focused on one method of ingraining the catechism that the bishops and board wanted to move in another direction
- this call for change resulted in the IRPS totally resigning (including M. Pacwa, SJ and Janet Smith who was not a part of IRPS)
- since that time period the university continues its initial direction and foundation - a classical education that adheres closely to Thomism, great books (narrowly defined).
Agree that the issue of governance and the role of president, Monsignor Milam, is very open to discussion, etc. But, it is clear - " faculty and students at the University of Dallas believe that at the heart of issue there is real tension regarding the university's Catholic identity. the current administration is antagonistic to the IRPS in its present form and there is a desire to change direction."
The outgoing IRSP dean stated: "....the current administration is more sympathetic to those who have difficulty with our emphasis on doctrine as the foundation of all pastoral activity in the Church." (my kids experienced this emphasis which led to poor teaching and poor theology classes in the diocesan high schools - example, IRPS never taught anything on the social teachings of the church - MA students went on to teach with little to no knowledge of this rich tradition and history (talk about an inablility to understand Francis today).
ISRP did get support - from bishops such as Slattery of Tulsa (big current proponent of the TLM; and Burke (no need to say more). OTOH, Dallas bishop (owner) Grahmann had strong support locally and from neighboring dioceses that relied upon UD to provide masters level catholic school teachers.
Grahmann stated: "The IRPS did not respond effectively to that situation,. "The whole practical side of being of service to the Church escaped the faculty members who left," he said. "They became advocates of an ideal orthodoxy and built walls that no one could penetrate." "Departures from the IRPS were "a blessing." According to Bishop Grahmann, the diocese pulled out of the institute years ago because it had become narrowly focused on teaching Church doctrine. The diocese then started its own program to train deacons and lay ministers; now the bishop says he hopes to be able to phase out that diocesan program and move back into the IRPS.
"Now the Institute can once again do what it was founded to do," Bishop Grahmann said. "It's being allowed to return to its original mission of serving the local Church. We are changing the direction of the program."
Prof. Kaveny - good question. Tried to use the example of the University of Dallas above - my experience and my family's experience of the MA students that graduated and then taught in Dallas Catholic high schools was not good.
Found that their teaching method was to have teenagers memorize the catechism - given today's environment, this approach only created more issues. Students would ask questions but theology teachers were unable to explain or provide more than cursory catechism provided answers. Their lack of historical perspective, lack of understanding of local diverse cultures (e.g. hispanic religious practices); the total unawareness of the rich catholic social teachings; their inability to understand how to convey sacramental viewpoints in school liturgies (they had no liturgical background - liturgy doesn't play much part in a dogmatic, catechism approach).
OTOH - most students I know who graduated from UD with the classical education have done well once they found jobs. The classical education prepared them to write, analyze, use good judgment, and appreciate metaphor/analogy in human relations. There is actually a masters level business school at UD.
I can't think of a more sublime example of group-think non-diversity than the prejudice which would lead one to speculate that conservative students cannot handle working with a "diverse" group of people.
I think I would like my daughters to attend a school with a classical curriculum and a progressive philosophy. I think its great to learn Latin; I just don't want to worship in that language.
Mark - no kidding.
a school with a classical curriculum and a progressive philosophy.
Irene - that's a pretty fair description of Loyola when I was there, 30 years ago. One of my children attends a Catholic college now, and it still seems accurate. I hope it's a good descriptor for lots of other Catholic schools.
Doesn't our friend Jim P. prove that conservatives can not only play nicely with a diverse group, but actively seek out diversity of opinions?
However, I do think that there are two fair and interesting tangential questions about religiously affiliated schools:
1. Do recruiters hold prejudices about them (favorable or unfavorable)?
2. What percentage of students seek a religiously affilated school to shelter themselves from other POVs? Some students might. And some students might merely feel that attending a Catholic college will help them navigate the larger world by strengthening their compass of faith (forgive the somewhat silly metaphor). Looking back on my college days, I sometimes wish I'd had the all-girls experience.
Never refer to the national Catholic Register as NCR those initials are already taken.
I agree with Jim Pauwel's earlier comment; to the effect that the list is a useful tool to enable students and families to make choices according to what they are really looking for. But my main question is out of the box of what constitutes a "real" Catholic college. Unless money is no object, or one wants a career in a field such as theology or religious education; what is the advantage of a Catholic college or indeed any private college/university? I attended one year in a Catholic college, and another three in a school in our state university system. The education received in the state school was better than what I received in the Catholic one, and cost less than half. Of course that was a lot of years ago. But my sons went to schools in the same state system that my husband and I did. Both are doing fine career wise. They had a manageable amount of student loan, paid off in a reasonable amount of time. We were able to cover a significant amount of their expenses, which wouldn't have been true of any of the Catholic colleges in the area. Of course in going to a public university, you are on your own as far as Mass attendance and finding faith support. But you are on your own anyway when not living under your parents' roof any more. Regarding those who remain practicing Catholics or not, just thinking of people I know, the rate seems to be at least as good if not better among those who went to public institutions as those who attended the Catholic schools.
The Cardinal Newman Society et al. might take special note of Paragraph 100 of Evangelii Gaudium:
It always pains me greatly to discover how some Christian communities, and even consecrated persons, can tolerate different forms of enmity, division, calumny, defamation, vendetta, jealousy and the desire to impose certain ideas at all costs, even to persecutions which appear as veritable witch hunts. Whom are we going to evangelize if this is the way we act?
Some of the advantages are the same as any liberal arts college, which include smaller classes that allow more intensive education, which can be especially important for writing. There is no way that a grad student from a different department who is trying to grade papers as quickly as possible is going to be able to provide the feedback that a professer is able to. The other advantages are things like theology and philosophy requirements as well as a broad opportunities to practice one's faith.
Of course, the costs are certainly a major disadvantage as well as pressures for the school to restrict the discussions of controversial subjects.
If a school is selling itself as providing a counter-cultural bubble, then its students will face questions, I think, about how they will get along with people not in that bubble- particularly if the school has a culture war edge. Why shouldn't they face questons--tthe schools can't have it both ways- they can't claim that they are educating a generation of resisters to the "culture of secularism and death" and complain when progressive employers don't want to hire resisters to the "culture of death," they want people who can work for a woman boss, process the benefit packages for same sex couples, etc.
I think employers check facebook and google people and credentials---good jobs are hard to find; it's a buyer's market.
So my question is very practical- how do these kids do on the job market?
Reading through this list of schools makes one wonder if the parents who choose some of them for their children are wishing to have the college educate their children or simply indoctrinate them? Fortunately it seems that very few parents are willing to limit their college aged children's education as severely as would be the case in many of these school, based on a quick once-over of information about them. I didn't add up the total enrollment of the 37 schools, but doubt it exceeds 20,000 total in ALL the schools. Of the 37, there are six schools in Australia, Austria, England, and Canada, cutting the number of US schools to only 31. There are a couple of highly specialized "graduate" schools only offering degrees in Theology or Divinity and one that offers very narrowly focused graduate degrees in psychology (with 82 students in total), cutting the number offering undergrad degrees even more. The John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family Studies cannot be considered to be a normal college either, although at least it is part of Catholic University which is considered a "real" university. Can a "college" which enrolls 5 undergraduates and 16 grad students (of which 4 are part-time) truly be considered a college offering "higher education"'? (Holy Spirit College)? Our Lady Seat of Wisdom (Canada) has a total enrollment of 75, St. Mary Magdalen has 62 students total. There were a number of schools that are not accredited; many are tiny, with fewer than 100 students enrolled. Wyoming Catholic has 112 students total, Redeemer Pacific (Canada) has 80. Living Water College of the Arts (Canada) does not reveal how many students it has, however it does not grant degrees. In 2011 it offered a handful of classes in the summer only.
Are college level students who are confined to such a tiny and non-diverse world that does not challenge them but simply mirrors back to them what they have been carefully raised to believe really gaining a higher education that will give them the tools to think independently? Does cocooning them encourage thinking? These schools seem not to be intended to teach young adults how to think, but what to think. I also could not help but notice in the photos in the ads that about 90% of the students are white of apparent anglo-saxon heritage, a couple of students may possibly be Asian or Latino heritage, and I did not see even one student who appeared to be of African American heritage.
Like Ms. Kaveny, I would be curious to know what kinds of jobs these students obtain after graduation, and where.
Wow, where to begin? Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. The use of the derogatory "bubble" does nothing so much as reveal the pervasiveness of the cultural bubble so many of us find ourselves in. Someone outside of the bubble would never presume those with different opinions must be in a "bubble." They would take people as they find them, and judge them as they wished themselves to be judged, not pre-judge them.
And of all the questions a Catholic would ask in judging those students, the one asked is:
"How do these kids do in the job market"?
Not any from among the following:
What kind of men and women do these schools produce?
Do they prepare good husbands and wives, good mothers and fathers?
Do they act with integrity, or at least understand that it is important to?
Can they articulate the Catholic view? Do they live it?
Do they understand the need to serve?
Are they comfortable in their own skin?
You will know them by their fruits.
"If a school is selling itself as providing a counter-cultural bubble, then its students will face questions, I think, about how they will get along with people not in that bubble- particularly if the school has a culture war edge."
If a Notre Dame graduate goes for a job, will the human resources person reject her because she attended a school where many faculty/alumni/students felt the President of the United States should be barred from speaking?
"Why shouldn't they face questons--tthe schools can't have it both ways- they can't claim that they are educating a generation of resisters to the "culture of secularism and death" and complain when progressive employers don't want to hire resisters to the "culture of death," they want people who can work for a woman boss, process the benefit packages for same sex couples, etc."
A graduate of a Catholic college who was unwilling to work for a woman boss would have been instructed in her/his business courses to prepare for the application/interview process by doing some research on the company.
"I think employers check facebook and google people and credentials---good jobs are hard to find; it's a buyer's market.
"So my question is very practical- how do these kids do on the job market?"
And what about the marriage market? They marry each other, some immediately after graduation. In the Catholic Church there should be room for all levels of sophistication. Some of the graduates of the colleges find employment as teachers/coaches at Catholic high schools and colleges that share their schools' views. Others find employment in companies that are not interested in the squabbles that may seem more important to "card-carrying Commonweal contributors" but not to those ouside the bubble.
One of the schools on the list has some job openings, if anyone's looking:
- Accounting Analyst/Report Writer
- Faculty - Assistant Professor, Microbiology
- Faculty - Assistant Professor, Physiologist

Mark, your questions cannot be answered with data. Better ask questions that can give answers, for example, to evaluate what they do in the world afterwards
- how many get jobs
- how many get jobs working for the church
- how many become priests
- how many become monks, nuns, religious brothers or sisters
- how many get married in the church
- how many children they have
- what percentage of their children have Down syndrome (a proxy to estimate the abortion rate by comparing that rate to the natural rate)
Claire, your questions are not easily answered about any colleges, whether or not they are "counter-cultural bubble[s]."
Pick a college/university at random, Catholic or not, and try to find information about how many graduates got jobs.
Where do they work? What are they paid? What kind of jobs do they hold? How long did it take to find a job? How many applications/interviews before landing a job?
How long after graduation would you wait to ask them how many Down syndrome children they have and how long those who became priests or religious persevered?
Yours are the questions of a scientist. Granted, they allow for more precise answers, but we can only see through them darkly to the answers of the more important questions. While it's true no school can credibly claim it produces better, say, mothers than another school I can tell you that, having recently done the college tour, if I were to ask some schools if they try to produce good mothers they would respond absolutely yes, they do. Others schools would look at me as if I were from another planet.
Which of the two types of schools do you think children would wish their mom graduated?
Well, no doubt these children, recognizing that "it's true no school can credibly claim it produces better, say, mothers than another school," probably wouldn't give a shit. Ask them whether they want to watch another episode of Curious George or bush their teeth for bed, and they'll probably have loads of opinions.
Good God, Lemon! If you acknowledge that a school can't "credibly claim" that it produces moms of a certain quality, then shouldn't you be suspicious of a school that sold itself on such a claim?
"Here at Saint Eustache the Penitent, we may not have accreditation, but we sure do produce women who know how to cut the crust off sandwiches!"

Learn more about prostate cancer at local event
Posted: February 21, 2014|
Prostate cancer is UK's biggest man killer, causing more than 10,000 men's deaths in the UK each year, and almost 1,000 in the West Midlands alone.
Prostate Cancer UK recently launched their Men United campaign which will run all year and aims to unite men in the fight against prostate cancer and raise awareness of the disease, its symptoms and funds for important research.
As part of the campaign, the charity is holding a Survivorship Conference on Saturday 1st March and they are inviting men from across the midlands to attend with their families. The event will give men the chance to share tips and advice about living with the disease as well as offering them the opportunity to speak to experts about it and the side effects of treatments.
One in eight men will get prostate cancer at some point in their lives and it mainly affects men over the age of 50. Not only that but you are considered at a higher risk if you are of African-Caribbean descent or over 50, with your risk increasing with age.
Adrian Hockin, who runs The White House Prostate Cancer Support Group in Dudley, was diagnosed with secondary prostate cancer in 2008 at the age of 49. Since being diagnosed Adrian has worked hard to raise awareness of the disease as much as possible.
Adrian says: "I was diagnosed with prostate cancer without any of the typical symptoms when I was only 49 years old. It isn't just a cancer for old men. Sadly, this disease doesn't share the same profile as breast cancer, yet it is as big a problem and affects nearly as many people.
"We men think that we're invincible and we never talk about weakness, but our biggest weakness is not being able to talk about the disease that affects so many of us. This needs change. I strongly urge men in the Midlands affected by prostate cancer to unite and come down to the conference to talk to others affected by the disease, share experiences and learn from experts."
The Midlands Prostate Cancer Survivorship Conference will take place on Saturday 1 March from 10am-4pm at The Old Library, The Custard Factory, Birmingham.

Disney fighting bundle breakups
By Brooks Boliek
The Hollywood Reporter
Jan 7, 2008
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/...cae3d7147c4561WASHINGTON -- Disney and other huge programmers are attempting to blunt a government effort that would prevent them from bundling channels in sales to cable and satellite operators.
In papers filed Friday, Disney told the FCC that it is barred from writing a rule that would void the so-called "tying arrangements" because that is outside the FCC's jurisdiction.
"The FCC cannot prohibit packaged offerings because it has no legal authority to do so," Disney said. "In order to adopt a regulation, an agency must have express statutory authority from Congress or properly exercise its ancillary jurisdiction. In this case, no part of the (law) authorizes the FCC to interfere with the substance of carriage negotiations."
While the proposal effects Disney, Viacom, NBC Universal and News Corp., Disney, with its ESPN family of networks and the Disney Channel, has become a leader in the fight over carriage deals.
Disney also contends that the regulation is unnecessary because the company doesn't "tie" its networks together.
"Disney does not require carriage of its two most popular cable channels: ESPN and Disney Channel," Disney Media Networks global distribution president Benjamin Pyne said in a sworn statement.

The Bradenton Times Events
Free Intro to Krav Maga at America's Best Martial Arts
Date: November 10, 2012Time: 11:30 am - 12:30 pm
5103 Lena Road, Suite 106
Bradenton, FL 34211
A FREE Introduction to Krav Maga class from 11:30am - 12:30pm at America's Best Martial Arts & Fitness.
Krav Maga (pronounced KRAHV muh-GAH) means "Contact Combat" in Hebrew. It is, like most military based unarmed combat systems, simple to learn, aggressive and easy to remember under the tremendous stress of combat.
Unlike more complicated, traditional martial arts which can take years to master, Krav Maga is designed to be learned quickly and deal with real world attacks such as multiple opponents, armed assailants and muggings. Unlike sports systems which spend their time training to beat one person who weighs the same as they do, in a padded environment, with doctors, referees and rules, KM is concerned only with reality.
Another difference between KM and traditional martial arts is that the majority of the latter are preserving an art form that's been taught the same way for hundreds of years. KM is different in that it's constantly evolving with feedback from military specialists, law enforcement officers and civilians. As criminals evolve and change their methods of attack so must an effective self protection system evolve.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not alot of information,
uro lover (Huntington Station, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Uromastyx & Butterfly Agamids (Paperback)
This book has not enough information, and actually some of it is even false, if you know anything at all about the care and keeping of uros. I am a uro owner and belong to a uro club, and found that there is alot of important information that is not included in this book. It is mostly pictures, and doesn't even have info on some of the most common species of this lizard. I wouldn't bother buying this, you'd get better info out on the net from actual uro owners than you would from this book.
3.0 out of 5 stars Uromastyx and Butterfly Agamids by Jerry G. Walls,
By A Customer
This review is from: Uromastyx & Butterfly Agamids (Paperback)
Some good color photos. The book is reasonably informative, but like most amateur books and magazine articles, glosses over some of the important issues like problems encountered keeping Uromastyx and doesn't make much use of what is already published about these lizards in the literature. Additionally, there are some incorrectly labeled photos.

Tell Your Story at the Western Montana Fair – Oral History Project [AUDIO]
For the second year in a row, the Missoula Historic Preservation Commission will continue its oral histories project at the Western Montana Fair.
For the second year in a row, the Missoula Historic Preservation Commission will continue its oral histories project at the Western Montana Fair.
Entry deadlines in several categories are rapidly approaching for the Western Montana Fair in Missoula that will run from Tuesday, August 6 through Sunday, August 11.
Once again, I will be recreating the role of Denny Bedard, Bingo Mahatma at the Western Montana Fair.
UPDATE - Thursday, May 23, 2013
At the close of Wednesday's County Commissioner's meeting, the three members voted unanimously to end horse racing at the county fairgrounds.
Nothing wraps up a hot fair week like a little metal on metal carnage. The smell of coolant and burning oil filled the air Sunday afternoon as the cars lined up for a battle to the death. The event was sponsored by the Townsquare Media family, and myself, as well as "Tallest DJ" Aaron Traylor, were honored to be your announcers yet again this year. In case you missed it, or want to relive some of the chaos, check out video and photos from the event below.
It's looking like a warm and dry weekend for Western Montana Fair fans with lots of events on tap. Here we go!
While most fair-goers show up for the food, games and rides, the fair is so much more than ring tosses and corn dogs.
Good day to be a kid! Of course just about every day is a good day to be a kid, but especially at The Western Montana Fair.
One of the hottest days in recent history for the fair. I'm sure lots of people will be cooling in the Beer Garden to some great music.
Welcome everyone to The Western Montana Fair. The gates opened at 11:00 this morning as they will every day. Open until 10:30 nightly.
The 2012 Western Montana Fair is right around the corner! One of the first things I think of, when I think "Fair," is the wild array of food that will be available.
The 2012 Western Montana Fair is August 7th through the 12th and this year's theme is 'Ropin', Ridin' and Rememberin', celebrating the 100th anniversary of Montana 4-H. Fair manager Steve Earle says this year's fair will feature the Dock Dogs competition, where fair-goers can bring their dogs to compete in various contests.

Cooking and Baking
How do you organize your kitchen?
With all of the food-related gift talk, I'm guessing a lot of us Serious Eaters are looking for space in the kitchen/pantry to store new kitchen goodies.
So, how do you organize your kitchen? Are you in a small apartment with two cupboards? Do you have serious storage? Are you disorganized to the point where you buy the same item twice?
How do you store food, spices, knives, large pots and pans, huge platters, etc.?
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Get the Skinny! This is just part of the article. Want the complete story, plus a host of other cutting-edge articles to make your job easier? Sign up!
Every spa and provider has to work hard to get busy. Without a steady stream of clients, it is hard to stay confident that your business will grow. Now is not the time to get discouraged; instead, try digging deep and remember why you chose this business in the first place. Here are five tips to keep you motivated.
Success Tip 1: Your career is what you make it.
One of the top questions on most esthetic student's minds is, "How does a person succeed in this business?" The answer is that each person is in charge of their own success. Motivation is the key to success, no matter the career path. If you are driven to succeed, then you should not stop trying until you do. Esthetics is not the type of job where you can expect to be handed a great career if you are not willing to work for it. This industry is growing at an enormous rate, with an expected 34% increase between the years 2006 and 2016.1 There is a lot of competition out there, and if you don't work to get clients and keep them, they will go to a competitor. This is a tough business to be in as it is, and it is even tougher with the state of the economy right now. Your career will be what you make it.
Success Tip 2: Money should never be your singular motivation.
You will not succeed unless you are motivated for the right reasons. If you are in the customer service industry, your first motivation should be to make the client happy, and if it isn't, you might be in the wrong business. Of course, everyone works to make money, but your top priority should be to do what is best for your clients. It is hard to succeed in a career if you are not passionate about it. There are many different career paths for an esthetician, including performing facials at a spa, assisting in a medical office, or acting as a product representative, spa coordinator or owner. All of these options can be rewarding, both professionally and financially, as long as you work for it. It is understandable to worry about and try to ensure your financial future, but that cannot be your only motivation. If you make your clients happy, you will prosper from it.
Success Tip 3: Don't count on others to do your work.

The sides of my face and neck seem hard 10 days post surgery. Maybe still some swelling? What can I do to help resolve this? I am having my stitches out in 2 days and the staples behind my ears, could it get better once those are gone? Plus I think I have developed a small hematoma in front of one ear, maybe dime sized or a bit smaller, which I will have him look at. I knew there would be swelling and numbness, but this seems like something different. I start a new job in 3 1/2 weeks, but I am worried.
Hardness on Sides of Face and Neck 10 Days After Facelift?
Doctor Answers 12
Hardness on face and neck 10 days after facelift surgery
The hardness you are feeling on the side of your face and neck is a result of swelling. This is a normal occurrence following surgery, and resolves over time. A hematoma needs to be addressed right away, and I would recommend a follow up with your surgeon immediately. Overall, you will need some time to heal and it is important to be patient during this process. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck with the remainder of your recovery.

Hardness on the face after facelift
This is very likely normal swelling 10 days after your surgery. The swelling in these areas can cause the tissue here to become firm, and this will resolve on its own. Try and be patient!
Hard Ridges on Side of Face and Neck 10 Days after Facelift
The feeling of hardness or swelling is normal at 10 days following facelift. A small hematoma may need to be drained, or you may just have a small bruise. The plastic surgeon can make this determination with a quick exam.

Hardness on sides of face and neck following facelift
Hello, and sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing following surgery. It sounds like you have some swelling which is creating the hard feeling. The swelling will not likely change much after you have the stitches and staples out, but will improve over time. If you think you have a hematoma (which will look like a dark red bruise), you should see your surgeon immediately and have it drained during your visit, as it can compromise your result. In general, the side effects of a facelift (which can vary depending on the type of facelift that was performed and the severity of the patient's issues) may include the following:
1) Swelling
2) Bruising
3) Temporary numbness
4) Nerve injury that is usually temporary but can sometimes be permanent
Overall, it will take 6-12 months to see the final result of a facelift, but you should be ok to start a new job in 3.5 weeks. If there is residual bruising, it can usually be concealed with makeup. Thanks and good luck!

Firm post face
This is normal.the degree of swelling and firmness will vary from patient to patient.This will resolve with time and heat and gentle massage may help it resolve quicker.
Web reference: http://beautybybrueck.com
Hardness of Face After Facelift #plasticsurgery
You may have firmness that can last 6 months or longer. It takes quite a while for the inflammation to resolve. Be patient and keep in close contact with your surgeon. The best thing for you is time. You are not alone, I have many patients who ask me about the firmness. You had a facelift and this is normal. If you really think you have a hematoma that is an emergency and you need to let your surgeon know right a way.
Hardness of Face after Facelift
Several days after facelift surgery is still very early in the healing process. It's expected to have a degree of firmness or hardness after cosmetic surgery. Most of this sensation is usually due to swelling. Keeping the head elevated, ice packs, salt restriction, and following your plastic surgeon's care instructions will help maximize healing and minimize swelling. Facial massage may help too soften the skin. However, you must speak with him/her regarding any issues you have. Best of luck.

Swelling and bruising after facelift or facial cosmetic surgery
I tell my patients that swelling is normal and part of the deal. It is noticeable for weeks and varies widely and cannot be eliminated. Elevation while sleeping is helpful, often for up to 6 weeks.
Massage, heat, cold, ultrasound, infrared application, etc are often tried but don't change the natural course of events very much
Small hematomas are not uncommon and can sometimes be easily aspirated in the office.
Ask your surgeon to check it out as he/she is in best position to evaluate.
Facelift Healing
10 days after your facelift it appears your recovery is normal to this point. There are really few things to do to accelerate the healing process. Continue to follow your surgeon's directions and in 3 1/2 weeks you will be more than presentable for your new job opportunity.
Dr. ES
Hardness Of Skin After A Facelift
Every symptom that you have described is exactly what a facelift feels like at your point after surgery. Swelling, bruising, firmness and irregularities of the facial skin are common and expected. You will be surprised how much better it will be in another 3 weeks when you return to work. While every abnormal sensation and feeling will not be completely gone, you will look much more normal and very passable in public without looking like you have had facelift surgery.

|The most helpful critical review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
By JeremyHess from USA on 2010-07-10 14:06:23Things I liked: The rate of fire is impressive, much faster than most MP5 style airsoft guns I have used before. I am getting 350-360 fps consistently. I like the fact that it is powerful enough to use outdoors as well as CQC. It is made by G &G, they are a solid manufacturer of high end AEGs. It is very well made,a little heavier than my last MP5 that was made of plastic only, everything is very tight. I use several different brands of magazines and all fit snug with no wiggle or feeding problems. The flash hider can be removed to expose a 14mm- thread for a suppressor. I was very skeptical about the blowback action, but it grew on me. The hop up is easy to find and use, and is very responsive as well. I like the open rear sight, It rotates and has four different adjustments. As far as performance it holds a very tight pattern within 70ft. about the size of a tennis ball. Effective range 150ft no problem probably more like 180+. As previously mentioned I use this AEG outdoors often, and the range is good enough to defend myself against players with M4, AK, and Sig style carbine AEGs. I really like that it is a stamped H&K,
Things I would have changed: Nothing. I wanted a basic MP5 and I got a phenomenal MP5.
What others should know: It does not come with a battery or charger, I use a 8.4 3800mah large connector type battery. This rifle cannot be fitted with any type of top rail or scope.

Love Them , but 1/2 size up
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I am a perfect 7 1/2 , and on the smaller size , so I usually go down 1/2 size if anything. But this shoe in 7 1/2 was way too small. Sent them back for an 8 and they are the love of my feet. Now super comfy, with or without socks. And super cute!! Wish I had more in different colors , but only purple at the SteepandCheap price.

When I first saw your infomercial on TV, I was really very skeptical. So skeptical in fact that I kept the box that my Power 90 arrived in so that I could return it when I had proven that the system didn't work. Well. . . 90 days later I still have the box sitting under my computer desk. I will probably use it to wrap a Christmas gift or something.
Power 90 works. I followed the directions. I committed 90 days. I followed the diet plan. I took the supplements. And 90 days later here I am fit and in better shape than I've ever been in my entire life. I lost a total of 18 pounds and a total of 11. 75 inches. 4. 5 inches off my waist and 3. 5 inches off my hips.

ALBUQUEQUE, N.M. - Coming into the 2014 season UNM redshirt sophomore right-hander Victor Sanchez had never saved a game in his life. Now, roughly two-thirds of the way through the season, he is considered one of the top relievers in the entire country.
The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association named Sanchez to the Midseason Watch List for the Stopper of the Year Award, which is given annually to the top relief pitcher in Division I. He is one of 50 players named to the list.
"I'm honored," he said. "That's really cool. I never would have thought that would be possible coming into the year. I just go out there and try to do my job to help the team win."
Sanchez, who is a product of Volcano Vista HS in Albuquerque, was 1-0 with a 6.75 ERA in nine appearances spanning 8.0 innings in 2013. He was so erratic that UNM pitching coach Dan Spencer nicknamed him Shotgun because the pitch chart from his bullpen sessions was sprayed all over the page like a shotgun spray.
"I was wild (last year) and couldn't throw strikes so the nickname stuck," Sanchez said. "I like it, though. I don't mind it at all."
The nickname may have stuck, but the results have been completely different for Sanchez this season. He is 3-0 with a team-high seven saves and a sparkling 0.98 ERA in 27.2 innings over 16 appearances in 2014. He has struck out 26 while allowing just 10 hits and 10 walks. Opponents are hitting a meager .109 off him, and it doesn't matter if he's facing righties (.103 batting average against) or lefties (.118). He has not allowed a single hit over his last 8.1 innings of work, dating back to April 5.
It's no surprise then that as the season has gone on he has become UNM's go-to closer, and he enjoys the role even though he doesn't like that term much.
"I don't really like looking at it like closing," he said with a laugh after UNM's 4-3 win over No. 21 Texas Tech Monday afternoon. "That feels like a lot of pressure to me. I just look at it like I need three outs and the ballgame is over after that. That's the way I look at it."
Sanchez is one of two Mountain West players on the list, joining San Diego State's Michael Cederoth, who is second in the nation with 15 saves. A full list of the relievers and the complete release can be found here.
Nominations for the NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award were made by baseball sports information/media relations contacts. At the conclusion of the regular season, the Division I national saves leader and four other relief pitching standouts will be selected as finalists and released Wednesday, June 4, prior to start of NCAA Super Regional tournament competition.
The NCBWA's All-America Committee will select the winner, with this year's recipient to be announced during the 2014 College World Series.

ATHENS, Ga. - The No. 23/24 University of Georgia softball team returns to the friendly confines of Jack Turner Stadium Wednesday, March 20 at 6 p.m., when it hosts the Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs in non-conference action. Georgia is riding an 11-game win streak and is coming off an SEC series sweep of the Auburn Tigers that improved its record to 21-7. Gardner-Webb is 3-13 on the year and 0-3 in the Big South.
Wednesday, March 20
No. 23/25 Georgia vs. Gardner-Webb - 6 p.m.
Other Information
Live stats will be available at www.georgiadogs.com

Series Records
This meeting marks just the second time in program history that Georgia has faced Gardner-Webb. The Bulldogs took a 14-1, five-inning win over GWU last season.
Quick Notes
Olney's Streak: Christine Olney, Georgia's only four-year senior, extended her hitting streak to 11 games last weekend against Auburn. In 11 eight games, Olney is batting .588 with 14 hits, five doubles, two home runs and 14 RBI. She is also slugging .893 in those games.
Freshman Record: Tina Iosefa tied the freshman home run record held by Paige Wilson and Kristyn Sandberg when she hit her ninth home run of the season in Georgia's 9-8 win over Auburn. All but one of Iosefa's homers has come with runners on and she has hit a home run in nine of the last 11 Georgia games.
Montemayor Shines: Morgan Montemayor shined last week in her three appearances in the circle. She picked up a win in the second game against Auburn after throwing a complete-game shutout. During Georgia's 11-game win-streak, Montemayor has made four starts and six appearances, giving up just four runs on nine hits in 20.2 innings of work. She has also struck out 28 and has an ERA of just 0.34
Three-Straight Homers: Earlier this season, the Bulldogs made history by leading off a game with three-straight home runs against Delaware State. Georgia accomplished a similar feat in the 9-8 win over Auburn on Sunday, as Iosefa, Kaylee Puailoa and Tess Sito hit back-to-back-to-back home runs that helped Georgia get the win. It was also the sixth time this season that the Bulldogs have gone deep in consecutive at bats. Of those six times, Puailoa has hit three home runs following an at bat by a teammate.
On Deck: The Bulldogs have their SEC home opener this weekend when they welcome the Ole Miss Rebels to Jack Turner Stadium. The Bulldogs will kick off the weekend series on Friday, March 22 at 6 p.m., before playing at 4 p.m., on Saturday, March 23. The series finale is scheduled for Sunday, March 24 at 2 p.m. Please check www.georgiadogs

We found a great source for pick your own cherries. We pick a lot! Really a lot. This sweet Cherry Jam recipe is one of the results. It turned out fantastic.
This makes about 6 half pints. It is VERY tempting to double the recipe. However, it is difficult to make double batches. If you want to make more at a time (I don't blame you) simply have two batches going at the same time in different pots.
The pitting was the hardest part. But I got my crew of boys going and they got them pitted for me.
They were getting juice EVERYWHERE in the process. But the cherries were pitted and ready for this sweet cherry jam recipe. I used a powdered pectin because cherries don't have a lot of natural pectin. If it didn't set up it would probably make great cherry syrup though.This can be processed safely in a Water Bath Canner
Gather your canning supplies;
Start by preparing jars ,and get water in your canner heating. You want the water to be hot but not boiling when your jars are ready to process. (see Water Bath Canning for full directions)
Chop cherries, I use my Krupps, food chopper. Add lemon juice and pectin to chopped cherries and bring to a full boil stirring constantly.
Add sugar and return to a full boil. Boil 2 minutes stirring constantly.
Remove from heat. If you have developed foam (which is likely) skim off as much as you can. Then fill hot jars with hot jam leaving 1/4 inch head space.
1/2 pints or pints -
process for 10 minutes if you are below 6000 ft elevation.
15 minutes if you are above 6000 ft elevation.
