Without prayer, your vote is useless

Posted on 06 November 2008 by Thomas Klind

I read somewhere that the average time spent in line at the polls is over an hour for the presidential election. Perhaps this explains the astonishingly low national voter turnout. In 2004, for example, less than 65% of eligible voters in the country voted (yet it seems as though almost 100% feel like they have [...] Continue Reading

Spirituality abounds on campus

Posted on 21 August 2008 by Thomas Klind

If you took a tour as a prospective first year student at Marquette, you were probably made aware of our great reputation as a school of higher learning. You most likely experienced a brief overview of what goes on at University Ministry, now Campus Ministry, from your tour guide as you walked through the union, [...] Continue Reading

Contrasting theology professors

Posted on 02 April 2008 by Daniel Suhr

Marquette professors are often quoted in major media outlets across the nation as commentators, and these citations are generally a source of pride for our university community. Of course, a Marquette professor might say something embarrassing. For example, take the contrast evident last month between two members of the Theology faculty. Susan K. Wood, a member of [...] Continue Reading

How Catholic is Marquette? Not enough

Posted on 07 November 2007 by Robert Christensen

There were many reasons why I chose to attend Marquette. I thought the campus was beautiful; I liked the city atmosphere and I was looking for a decent sized school with smaller classes. But the most important reason was Marquette’s Catholic identity. Having attended Catholic school throughout [...] Continue Reading

How Catholic is Marquette? Too much

Posted on 07 November 2007 by Lindsey Huster

I am Catholic. My entire life I was part of the private school, plaid jumper education. Attending Marquette, I was under the impression in such a collegiate, academic setting students would be allowed to “Be the Difference.” Being the difference: not using our religion as a crutch [...] Continue Reading

Hypocrisy and the whole of Catholic social teaching

Posted on 02 November 2007 by Daniel Suhr

Every year, the Office of Student Development sponsors a Leadership Summit that brings Marquette students together to discuss a pressing issue or theme. I have attended several in the past and found them a mixture of generating productive ideas and kumbaya handholding. This year’s theme is built around [...] Continue Reading

Freshmen summer reading: Manresa’s Missed Mission

Posted on 02 November 2007 by Abbi Ott

The First Year Reading Program aims to encourage students to see life from different perspectives but how is this mission being perceived by students? Arriving in the mailboxes of incoming freshmen everywhere, book assignments for the First Year Reading Program have become an unsavory summer homework project. Each year, the Manresa [...] Continue Reading

Administration must be more strict with Maguire

Posted on 25 April 2007 by Daniel Suhr

He went looking for a fight and he found one. Daniel Maguire, a member of Marquette’s Theology Department, sent a pair of pamphlets to all 270 American Catholic bishops – one arguing abortion is moral, the other arguing for gay marriage. In a rare move, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Doctrine, composed of eight [...] Continue Reading

Mixed reactions to ‘Monologues’

Posted on 25 April 2007 by Katie Pope

Considering the controversy over the past weeks, titling the April 14 dramatic reading of the Vagina Monologues “An Academic Conversation on Catholicism, Sexuality, and Human Rights,” seemed a simplistic approach to a complex issue. The Monologues were hosted off-campus last year, but last weekend was the first time it was ever performed on Marquette’s campus. Before [...] Continue Reading
