Abstract
After the Second Vatican Council, Catholic educational leaders attempted to improve their institutions and build great Catholic universities on the foundation of the modern American university. They and their successors made tremendous progress in improving the academic quality of their institutions and in opening the world of Catholic higher education to the various and divergent streams of modern thought. The principle of academic freedom was officially adopted and Catholic educators radically reoriented the curriculum of Catholic colleges and universities. They became much more ecumenical and free. Their hiring practices became more open to non-Catholic and dissident Catholic scholars. Academic quality improved significantly. Catholic institutions became less sectarian and more catholic.
