  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The Catholic University of America announced that it has earned the R1 designation for institutes with the “highest levels of research activity,” according to Carnegie Classifications of Institutions of Higher Education, which grants the status.

“Being named an R1 institution affirms what we have long known: That intellectual discovery and a commitment to Catholic identity are mutually supportive,” Catholic University President Peter Kilpatrick said.

Fewer than 5% of universities nationwide have been recognized as R1 institutions. To receive the designation, a university must spend at least $50 million on research and grants and award at least 70 research doctorates yearly.

Catholic University surpassed the goal by granting 94 research doctorates in one year.

That's pretty cool! I know a few people who went to CU for their advanced studies! Some even taught there! I won't say how I know them for privacy reasons, but I do admire the University.
