Discourses on University Education: Addressed to the Catholics of Dublin; Discourse I, Introductory (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Discourses on University Education: Addressed to the Catholics of Dublin; Discourse I, Introductory

Living then so long as a witness, though hardly as an actor, in these scenes of intellectual conflict, I am able, Gentlemen, to bear witness to views'of Uni versity Education, without authority indeed in them selves, but not without value to a Catholic, and less familiar to him, as I conceive, than they deserve to be. And, while an argument originating in them may be serviceable at this season to that great cause in which we are just now so especially interested, to me personally it will afford satisfaction of a peculiar kind for, though it has been my lot for many years to take a prominent, sometimes a presumptuous, part in theological disscussions, yet the natural turn of my mind carries me off to trains of thought like those which I am now about to open, which, important though they be for Catholic objects, and admitting of a Catholic treatment, are sheltered from the ex treme delicacy and peril which attach to disputation's directly bearing on the subject matter of Divine Re. Velation.
