Washington D.C., Jan 10, 2013 \/ 05:03 pm (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- A report by the U.S. bishops finds a positive relationship between Catholic universities in America and the Church, while encouraging continued cooperation and growth.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cBishops reported that they believe our institutions of Catholic higher education have made definite progress in advancing Catholic identity,\u201d the document stated.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThe relationship between bishops and presidents on the local level can be characterized as positive and engaged, demonstrating progress on courtesy and cooperation in the last ten years,\u201d it explained.<\/p>\n

\tReleased Jan. 10, the report marks the 10-year anniversary of the application of \u201cEx Corde Ecclesiae,\u201d an apostolic constitution written by Pope John Paul II in 1990 to offer reflections and norms for the identity and mission of Catholic colleges.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cIt is in the context of the impartial search for truth,\u201d the Pope says in the document, \u201cthat the relationship between faith and reason is brought to light and meaning\u2026The renewal requested of Catholic Universities will make them better able to respond to the task of bringing the message of Christ to man, to society, to the various cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe Holy Father continues in the document to describe of aims of the Catholic university in pastoral ministry, evangelization, and catechesis. He also outlines the responsibilities of the bishops and dioceses in supporting the mission of Catholic universities.<\/p>\n

\tThe U.S. bishops approved the application of \u201cEx Corde Ecclesiae\u201d in 1999, and it went into effect in 2001, with directives to perform reviews of its success every five years.<\/p>\n

\tIn November 2011, the bishops met in regional meetings to discuss the state of Catholic higher education in their area.<\/p>\n

\tAccording to the report, written by Bishop Joseph P. McFadden of Harrisburg, who chairs the bishops\u2019 Committee on Catholic Education, \u201cthe prevailing tone was positive and the news was good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cClarity about Catholic identity among college and university leadership has fostered substantive dialogues and cultivated greater mission driven practices across the university,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\tThe report also offered suggestions for improvement. It said that the Committee on Catholic Education will form a working group of bishops and college presidents to further study avenues for cooperation between the Church and Catholic universities around the nation.<\/p>\n

\tAreas to be addressed in the future include hiring for mission; forming faculty, staff and trustees in Catholic identity; continuing cooperative dialogue between bishops and presidents to promote the Church\u2019s mission; and curricular and pastoral means to offer accurate theological and catechetical knowledge.<\/p>\n

\tIn exploring these subjects, the working group will \u201ccontinue the dialogue about strategic subjects on a national level,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cAs they consider topics, they will gather information regarding best practices, offer suggestions for conversation at the local level, and as needed, develop resources,\u201d it explained.<\/p>\n
