Catholic higher education

The Archbishop of Denver offered his views concerning Catholic higher education earlier this year:

And he hopefully provides this quote from St. Augustine:

Bad times, hard times -- this is what people keep saying; but let us live well, and times shall be good. We are the times. Such as we are, such are the times.
