Read the Holy Father's address to American Catholic Educators HERE. As I stated in a previous +Pondering+, "the Holy Father made his standards very clear with no room for bending and placed the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of the educators. Perhaps more and more Catholic universities will now see the yoke beneath the dusty heaps of paperwork. It is a yoke not of budgets and athletic teams, but the yoke of Jesus Christ they are to wear with the boldness of the Apostles."
