"This book is not a critique of the Enlightenment or secular humanism. It seeks rather to illustrate an alternative humanist tradition ... with equal claim to the title and the Renaissance legacy." pic.twitter.com/OFo9BgKbO5
'Ignatian humanism' is just one expression of a long tradition of 'Catholic humanism' (e.g. 13th/14th century presence of Franciscan, Dominican, Carmelite, Augustinian scholars in fledgling universities like Paris & Oxford).

= defining/distinguishing part of Catholic tradition.
In 21st century, no religious order - nor all religious orders combined! - can expect to attract the volume/range of talents necessary to evangelise key sectors of 'secular' culture (arts, science, politics, business, media ...).

That mission belongs to the laity (Vatican II).
How much of a future for "secular culture" is there? Christians need to live Christ in all their labors, but many are sheltered from seeing that we are in a collapse.
