Student enrollment declines as some schools market themselves no differently than secular colleges. Other, conversely, neo-traditionalist Catholic colleges ally themselves with regressive elements of the Church. Both trends, Faggioli says, reflect a dismantling of Vatican II's vision for Catholic education. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eScrutinizing this crisis in detail, Massimo Faggioli reviews the snowballing changes in Catholic higher education, advocating for a renewed incarnational and sacramental Catholic educational philosophy that rejects accommodation to secular technocracy as well as Catholic tribalism in order to embody the inclusive, socially conscious values of the Catholic tradition as expressed in the theology of Vatican II.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUS$30.00\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Christianity \/ Catholic\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Christian Education \/ General\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Christian Theology \/ General\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTheology and Catholic Higher Education: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eBeyond Our Identity Crisis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCover Design: Michael Calvente\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCover Photo: James Ahlberg, Unsplash\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781626985841\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e[Orbis Logo]\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMassimo Faggioli is professor of theology and religious studies at Villanova University and a contributing writer to Commonweal magazine.
