I agree with Newman when he argues, “I do not see how it is possible for a philosophical mind, first, to believe these religious facts to be true; next, to consent to ignore them; and thirdly, in spite of this, to go on to profess to be teaching all the while de omni scibili” (20), but this comment makes me wonder: What would Newman have to say about the American system of higher education which is highly secular in character? Would he consider a secular university education an incomplete education?
