To not mention the University of Notre Dame is comic at best, though I guess it's possible the student population is smaller than the schools you list and therefore does not qualify. I was involved in my daughter's college discernment process 6 years ago, and she toured both BC and Georgetown. As well, I am a Chicagoan and have been to Depaul and Loyola many times. Hence, I feel qualified to make the following statement... ND was the only unapologetic Catholic school we visited. It is on another level than all these schools, spiritually and academically. Georgetown is an academic heavyweight for sure, but faith seems to have taken a back seat over the years. She ended up at ND, and I can tell that the Catholicism on campus, and within the students, is unmatched in this country.
Re DePaul: at the turn if the 20th century, intercollegiate basketball was just starting. The male students who represented DePaul wore white T-shirts with a large letter D in front. Their opponents referred to them as “The Blue D Men.” This morphed over time into “The Blue Demons.” Knowing this history is why their mascot is not an issue.
It is the only Catholic University that comes to mind right away when people ask what Universities are Catholic. Notre Dame is probably the most recoginizeable of all Catholic Universities or Colleges.
Undergrad enrollment is 9000 and about 4000 grass students, so just about 2000 less than BC. But it's certainly one of the most famous Catholic universities in the USA
It seems that most of the earliest private universities were founded as some form of Christian college, often times as a seminary ie Harvard but over the centuries, those schools decided to secularize such as Harvard (Puritan/Congregationalist), Yale (Puritan, Congregationalist), Princeton (Presbyterian), Duke (Methodist), Syracuse (Methodist), etc.. Whereas old, prestigious Catholic Universities like the ones stated and many others, keep the appearance of being Catholic, and offer worship for students, but its Catholic Identity is far less important than its academic reputation to the point where professors who teach anti Catholic views are tolerated and if the professor is considered prestigious, even celebrated by the university. This could also be due that such a large percentage of the student population and alumni base (donors and future donors) did not attend the school for religious reasons, rather for its academic reputation and if the university were to revert back to traditional Catholic values, enrollment and donations would both probably drop off to a large degree. The Catholic University I attended in Louisville, KY (Bellarmine) did not want to allow a Pro-Life student group to be formed and the students literally had to appeal to the Archbishop to force the college to give in.
IHS is not a Jesuit symbol. it is a Christian symbol. it is from Koine Greek meaning Jesus, the anointed one. This is right out cathecism for seven year olds.
I am deeply disappointed in St. John’s decision to not recognize Columbus Day this year. Considering the number of Italian-American students that have attended over the decades, I find it deeply disrespectful.
Our local university acknowledged Columbus Day in a minor way. They found a sizeable percentage of Freshmen that went home for this holiday did not return, thus losing them due to 'homesickness'.
Columbus day is not a feast day on the Roman Catholic Calendar so permission is denied. Next you will be asking for Barbie & Ken day. Don’t even ask. Permission is denied for that too.
@@johncrasto1195Then why would a Jesuit trained student argue that there is was only one St. Ignatius, and he was St. Ignatius of Loyola, and rejected the hint de Loyola. Furthermore, why would this same alumnus when asked about Ignatius of Antioch respond with a blank stare?
Each of the schools reviewed is clearly Catholic, encourages students who seek to express their faith to do so and continue to offer excellent educations for all who enroll. You do yourselves a disservice by suggesting a need to 'return to' Catholic when it clearly has never been lost. Only extreme conservatives who themselves lack true catholicity in so many ways share the need to return to what is not lost or never abandoned
In the DC area it is said if you want to go to a non-catholic school go to georgetown. They've been saying that since the 1960s

I find it sad that Notre Dame was not even mentioned
Not big enough

Can you do a similar video but for universities in Europe?

People, it’s the highest student Catholic enrollment that’s mentioned
Ed McMahon attended and graduated from the Catholic University of America … not Boston College as stated. FYI.
Yeah… he did attend both though
Are you baring false witness? is a novena required for your penance?
Why NO Notre Dame???
This article fails...
It’s not top five in attendance… it might be 6th or 7th. Just the facts…
@@purely_catholicbut this sloth would never have passed my desk stamped “Nihil obstat.”
J Cole went to a Catholic College? My GOAT
Many of the students at st John's in nyc, commute from home, so they usually attend mass and other sacraments in their home parish.
as it should be.
We need christain schools n colleges or catholic in California, LA or san Francisco 😊 john here
Georgetown complied with the Whitehouse request? SMMFH … COWARDS.
They obviously did the opposite of what St. Thomas More or his contemporary St. John Fisher would have done.
Georgetown???
Boston College?? Spare me!
Is this narrated by a person or not?
?? Notre Dame ?? Catholic University of America….
Unfortunately, the Jesuits have lost their way .
Jesuit n school n colleges are the best as I studied in these institutions.
That's a rather sweeping generalization.
