“WHAT MAKES A SCHOOL CATHOLIC
Above all, a scnool should be a place
where children can learn better how to
live in God’s world in peace and harmony
with their fellowman. A Catholic School
should be a place where our children
learn to care for others as Christ would
want them to. •
What makes a school Catholic? Is it
the sisters? Is it because Catholic money
is financing Is it because the students
are mostly Catholic? Is it the curriculum
and the freedom to promote a Christian
spirit?
receive their share of God’s blessings from
others and in turn to share with others
the blessings they receive. A Catholic
school is not a group of supposedly
fortunate children separated from the
so-called ‘disadvantaged.’ Where
segregation of this kind exists, the
children not only learn to be
unconcerned about their needy neighbor,
but they actually tend to become
alienated. They regard “those others” as
competitors, or as potential threats to
their more or less isolated (uncatholic)
way of life.
A school more approaches the
Catholic ideal as it contains a well
balanced proportion of the poor and of
minority groups. In this sense, many
public schools are really Catholic in spirit.
How can we be sure our Catholic
School is truly Catholic? Christ is the
judge. Let’s see what he says. “By this
sign shall all men know that you are my
disciples: that you love your neighbor as
you love yourself.” And when asked who
was our neighbor, he indicated that he
was the one most in need of us.
Now let’s apply this criterion to
Catholic schools. A Catholic school is
first, a place where our children meet
people who need them and whom they
need. Then it is a place where they learn
of eveyone’s need for God.
In some cases, our Catholic parents are
paying for an education for their children
in which the first condition for success is
missing, or very deficient.
A Catholic parent ought to insist that
his child’s school be truly a place where
the child can 1) meet his needy neighbor;
2) learn about all human needs, natural
and supernatural; and 3) learn in actual
practice how to share with others.
Students, too, should insist on
attending a school well integrated as
regard to minotiry groups and the poor.
Finally it is a place where they
leam how to share God’s blessings: to
In short God wants a Catholic school,
before all else, to be actually Catholic.
THE COOK’S
NOOK
Oops, the Cook’s Nook goofed! Last week a gremlin got into the recipe sent in by
Mrs. Worth Andrews, Jr. of Augusta, and wrote 2 TABLESPOONS of MARGARINE
INSTEAD OF 2 TABLESPOONS OF MAYONNAISE.
Here is the corrected 3-step muffin Recipe.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup self rising flour
Vi cup milk
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
(you must use mayonnaise you cannot substitute salad dressing)
Now, beat these three ingredients together. Then pour into greased muffin tens and
bake in a 375 muffin tens and bake in a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes or so. This
recipe makes 6 large muffins.
If any you tried this recipe as printed incorrectly last week, drop a card to the
Cook’s Nook, care of The Southern Cross, Box 232, Waynesboro, Ga. and give a report
on the muffins!
You are in for a real treat when you make chicken salad according to this recipe.

CURRENT TRENDS IN SEMINARY EDUCATION
By Wayland Brown
(1st Theology
Washington, D.C.)
Formal academic course work in
seminary education presently divides
itself into three parts: (1) minor seminary
education, which comprises from the
ninth through the twelfth grades; (2)
college seminary education, the four year
program leading to a bachelor’s degree;
and (3) graduate level seminary
education, almost always leading to an
advanced degree in theology.
Minor seminary education, to say the
least, is in a state of flux.
The emphasis in those high school
seminaries which remain seems to be
placed more on the formation of a true
Christian community than on a rigid,
closed society of rules and prohibitions.
The academic subjects are approximately
those of a very good preparatory school,
with an expected emphasis on the arts
and philosophy but without neglect of
modern scientific disciplines.
The next article in this series, by
Patrick Fahey, will provide greater insight
into what minor seminaries are doing in
the seventies.
College seminary education varies
from school to school, and it is quite hard
to say anything at all about it which
would be true in general, other than that
its objective is a bachelor’s degree which
is usually taken in philosophy, but not
necessarily always.
Literature and history offer excellent
alternatives; however, it is probably the
case that at least a major concentration in
philosophy is needed for preparation for
graduate work. Some of our diocesan
seminarians are actually attending
“secular” colleges (such as William and
Mary) and living in rectories where
spiritual guidance and formation are
available.
More detailed articles will follow so
that a clearer picture of what is expected
of a college education for a seminarian
will present itself.
There is more uniformity at the
graduate level: the usual program is a
four-year one leading to a Master of Arts
or a Licentiate (roughly the Roman
equivalent to the M.A.) in Sacred
Theology. Here again, there are
variations.
Our diocese has authorized several
students to undertake either slightly
different programs or expanded programs
which are designed to meet the needs of
the Church in very special ways. Catholic
University, for example, is introducing a
program which will lead the graduate
seminarian to a Doctor of Ministry or a
Ph. D. degree specializing in Pastoral
Counseling.
We hope that you will have a clearer
grasp of how your seminarians are using
their time in preparing themselves to
serve the Diocese through these articles,
and we again take this opportunity to
state that questions and comments are
always most welcome.
We can’t
make you save.
But we can
make it easier
if you do.
