Hello there. This is Mark Bauerline with another conversation. Before we get to it, a word about one of our sponsors.

You may have seen a recent article in Inside Higher Ed.com that began, Wyoming Catholic College has a lot of unusual things about it, each enough to merit a story in itself.

Wyoming Catholic is a conservative Catholic college that educates students in the great books and Catholic tradition.

It also teaches horsemanship and banned cell phones on campus. I love that.

And it turned down federal funding.

President Glenn Arbery describes the mission this way.

This college is engaged in deep ways with the agony of a culture that

has lost its spiritual center. We're adventurous and poetic and deeply Catholic. He likes

to cite Dostoevsky in crime and punishment. Low ceilings are bad for the soul. The

ceilings rise at Wyoming Catholic, which is located in the foothills of the Wind River Mountains,

the curriculum centers in the Western tradition.

Its Catholic identity builds upon Thomas Aquinas and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church and engaging with God in the wilderness.
