In a July 5 interview with John Allen of the National Catholic Reporter, Archbishop Michael Miller, secretary of the Vatican’s Congregation for Catholic Education and the former president of the University of St. Thomas in Houston, identified some possible "benchmarks of Catholicity": - Concern for social justice
- Sacramental and devotional life
- Curriculum—are theology and the Christian tradition core elements?
- Percentage of Catholics among faculty, trustees, and staff
- Religious and doctrinal attitudes of students over time
- Practice of the faith—do students pray, go to Mass, express an interest in religious vocations, etc.?
