Pope Francis describes the greed-driven global economy as an idol colonising society and enforcing values contrary to the gospel. In this context, education is essential to develop the skills in critical and creative thinking needed to identify, resist, and transform the anti-gospel aspects of global capitalism. But this education must do more than include Catholic beliefs as supplemental to a curriculum intent on enabling students to out-compete others. Instead, we need a return to the broader purposes of education for career, citizenship, and culture, along with personal and institutional witness to inspire students to redeem this global economy.

Bethlehem University in Palestine is something of a miracle. It was the first university to be registered in Palestine and the first, and still the only, Catholic/Christian University in the Holy Land. Its mission is to serve the Palestinian people through education, with clear and explicit values that derive from the Catholic Church. It has survived for almost fifty years despite the range and nature of the challenges during those turbulent times!. It was established, and continues, as a joint venture between the Holy See and the De La Salle Christian Brothers and is, therefore, embedded in the work of the Church in the Holy Land and must be responsive to the mission of the Church there. It is, indeed, a Catholic institution in the Holy Land.

The aim of the article is to develop a phenomenological and theological approach to the affectivity of good teaching to foster a transformative practice of student engagement and awareness of the life of the soul as much as the mind and the heart. Drawing on the Catholic Intellectual Tradition’s search for truth in the context of the theological virtues of faith, hope and love, the article sets out to articulate what it means to possess a thinking heart of education by way of engaging seven transcendental imperatives: be spontaneous, be imaginative, be hopeful, be faithful, be pastoral, be not afraid, and be vigilant. Together, these imperatives signify the transformative value of the search for truth evidencing a tradition of hopeful intelligence resonating with the affectivity of otherness, the turbulence and surprise of self-discovery, and a humble awareness of the wisdom of love at the service of love.

This article traces the circumstances of the return and beginnings of the Jesuits to Lahore, Pakistan after centuries of absence, to the establishment of the Jesuit Schools. Given the Socio-economic condition of Christians in Pakistan, and the proliferation and status of ‘Private Schools’ on the one hand and the low standard of the Public Schools in the country, on the other hand, the article argues that the Jesuit Schools are a service to the poor and the needy and not a ‘business’ as some Private Schools run by certain NGOs are. Further, it points out that given the Islamic context of the country, the Jesuit Schools contribute towards a better inter-religious relation which argues well for the future of the land.

The Irish Department of Education and Skills’ National Strategy for Higher Education to 2030 (2011; better known as the ‘Hunt Report’) and subsequent policy initiatives continue to impact on the Republic’s HE sector. This paper examines the effect of such initiatives on Mary Immaculate College, a third-level Catholic College of Education and the Liberal Arts with campuses in Limerick and Thurles. Three facets of the College that have been significantly affected by system policy are considered: first, looking inwards, MIC as an organisation; second, looking outwards, the College’s place in the regional and national HE landscape; and finally, looking around globally, MIC as a Catholic institution. This last facet of the College – its Catholic ethos – has been central to MIC’s identity since the 1890s, and while running counter to the values espoused by the National Strategy, it nevertheless enhances the College’s distinctiveness in the current Irish HE landscape.
