Quote by Andrew Greeley

It was generally believed that Catholics were not interested in arts and science graduate schools. They weren't going to be intellectuals. And so I put the theses to the test. And they all collapsed.

It was generally believed that Catholics were not interested

Summary

This quote suggests that there was a misconception that Catholics were not interested in pursuing advanced education in fields such as arts and science. The speaker, possibly a researcher or educator, decided to challenge this belief by putting forth theses or arguments related to these fields, expecting them to fail. However, to their surprise, all the theses collapsed, indicating that the assumption about Catholics not being intellectuals was inaccurate or biased. This quote implies a vindication for Catholics' intellectual capabilities and challenges preconceived notions about their educational interests.
