more is lost than is gained. Perhaps the spectres haunting Notre Dame and all growing Catholic universities are those non-Catholic religious in- stitutions that became secularized as soon as they grew big Harvard, Yale, Northwestern. It is not absolutely certain that the universi- ties and the Church will find a way to make Catholicism and its centuries-old principles rel- evant to the modern world and in all academic dis- ciplines on today ' s university campus. It will take a monumental re-organization, reappraisal and purification of centuries of Catholic thinking that has confused opinion with doctrine and has been contaminated by the very heresies which mere anathema could not suppress: Jansenistic pro- tectiveness, puritanical utilitarianism, middleclass mediocrity, and smug pietism. It is a task which raises eyebrows among the non-Catholic world partially out of interest, partially out of doubt. It is, nevertheless, a task to which hundreds of optimistic, energetic churchmen are who le-heart- edly dedicated, among them, John XXIII, Cardi- nals Bea, Wright and Meyer, Hans Ku ' ng, and Notre Dame ' s Father Hesburgh. Father Hes- burgh ' s much-quoted battle cry is Mediation mediation between the age-old values of Chris- tianity and the needs of modern society making the old relevant once again to the contemporary society making, thus, Notre Dame a Catholic university, not a university that is also Catholic a mediation that will resolve the tension that has inhibited the intellectual growth of the Church for centuries. Notre Dame is now, largely due to the Hesburghs, Cavanaughs, O ' Mearas, and Culli- tons who have revolutionized it, the top Catholic University in the nation, perhaps, as has been suggested, in the world. In Notre Dame resides the best hope for the liberation of Catholicism and the idea of a Catholic university. This is no guar- antee that the solution will be achieved, but if it will be achieved, it will be done at Notre Dame. 15
