On the “Catholic/conservative” scale, where is Villanova?

Niki Haley's son goes to Villanova. Is that MAGA enough?

If kid wouldn't attend ND if free b/c it's too conservative, they should not apply to Villanova or any Catholic University including BC.

BC is Jesuit. We're catholic in name only and DS, who is socially more liberal, liked everything about BC.
I wouldn't lump Jesuit in the Catholic bin.

You might not, but Catholics would.

Actually, significant number of Catholics are anywhere from saddened and disheartened to completely outraged at how non Catholic the jesuits have become over the past 10 years, particularly in higher education.

Most practicing and devout Catholics would consider the jesuits only marginally catholic.

I honestly don't know what type of catholic I am. And as a result, I don't know what type of college I would like for my child. I want one that doesn't think too highly of themselves that they teach falsely or have a lot of superiority, teaches self-reflection to better oneself, doing good in the world, and following God's law. Otherwise, why attend a catholic school? They are expensive.
