Dr. Peter Kreeft: "We are living in a spiritual Hiroshima"
Dr. Peter Kreeft has a recording on his website byt this title and i encourage you to visit at http://www.peterkreeft.com/home.htm. He is obviously one of the few devout Catholic teaching on a "Catholic" campus today and likely suffers much for it.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q: Why do you use the word "jihad"? Is that really appropriate?
A: Primarily, the word "jihad" means "spiritual struggle." It is an accurate word per se for what Christians are facing today.
Q: Is Boston College a Catholic university?
A: No, Boston College is a Jesuit university that used to be Catholic. My mother says that I should not say anything about someone if I can't say something good; my mother would not like the Theology Department at Boston College. The Philosophy Department is pretty solid. In many ways, Boston College is still Catholic. BC is not so far gone as Georgetown, but it is farther gone than Notre Dame. Like New York City, Boston College is both great and ugly.
Q: When asked whether heart disease or cancer is the leading cause of death in the United States, it's correct to say "neither." The leading cause of death in the United States is murder by abortion.
A: Thank you.
Q: Could you please comment on the sexual revolution?
A: The sexual revolution did not just change lives, it changed the sources of life.
Q: When will the tide turn on our "Catholic" college campuses?
A: It is turning now. Students today are a sort of "populist groundswell" for orthodoxy, but "Catholic" college administrators/establishments "haven't heard about that yet."
Q: How happy are today's "liberated" people?
A: Not very. The best measure is the suicide rate. Since the 1950s, the suicide rate among teenagers has gone up 500%.
Q: How can people today "not get it?"
A: They kill their consciences. And to kill your conscience, you must go insane.
Q: How do you convert the insane?
A: You love them; you be honest with them; you talk with them; you be their friend; you pray for them.
Q: Would you ever allow one of your children to go to Boston College?
A: Three of my four children did go there, and they emerged "unscathed." Seriously, some of my best friends are Jesuits. There is hope for Boston College.
