Editor’s note: This article was published in the Feb. 3, 1990, issue of America. For decades, American Catholics have pursued higher education with some intensity. Today among the 30 percent who have completed college, 16 percent have done some graduate work, with over half of those completing an advanced degree. This status of Catholics in higher education is mirrored in theology and religious studies. A new generation laity as well as priests and religious, men and women educated in universities rather than seminaries makes up the faculties at the over 200 Catholic colleges and universities and, to a lesser extent, teach at state universities and in private schools. In the 1970’s the involvement in theology of Catholic colleges and universities equaled and surpassed that of the seminaries. A look at the membership of the Catholic Theological Society of America illustrates the declericalization of theology in America and its centralization in university life.
