 Confrontation and culture at Franciscan University
Perhaps it would be interesting to modify slightly Dawson's process and conduct a study of the unique culture at Franciscan University, a culture resulting not from the confrontation of Christianity with paganism, but rather from the synthesis of charismatic and orthodox/traditional streams of Catholicism.
So, another phase of the University's history began as students, staff and faculty who had little familiarity with (and sometimes even hostility toward) the charismatic renewal were attracted by the University's commitment to orthodox Catholic teaching.
As far as the University and this article are concerned, "charismatic" Catholicism refers to the spirituality that is generally marked by emphases on the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit, evangelism, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and joyful, communal, emotional worship and liturgy.
