Education

Eloquentia Perfecta in Jesuit Colleges

The core curriculum at Fordham University now incorporates four eloquentia perfecta seminars, differing from other classes in their direct focus on written and oral skills of communication. Fordham is not the only Jesuit institution to begin experimenting ways to incorporate this concept into modern academics. Clarke notes that such institutions are doing so since “every 10 years or so most institutions take a hard look at the structure and emphasis of their core curriculum to see whether adjustments or even major restructuring is in order.” Thus, eloquentia perfecta has been researched and incorporated much more recently, not that has been absent in Jesuit education completely, but the key term and attention to it has. In a sense, Jesuit institutions are beginning to explicitly teach eloquentia perfecta rather than implicitly. However, this concept will only continue to progress and change with the digital age, as students and the population as a whole have so many means of communication. It is the responsibility of the Jesuit institutions to uphold the concept and teachings of eloquentia perfecta, one that may even affirm the Jesuit identity among these institutions.

Abby, I highlighted a few sentences that seem unnecessary. You and your group should consider cutting them out. Also, you need to attribute your last sentence to an outside source. It is an argument - Wikipedia editors should not make direct arguments. Cathygaborusf (talk) 17:59, 2 April 2019 (UTC)cathygaborusf Eloquentia Perfecta in Modern Times

Jesuit Priests

Eloquentia Perfecta and other Jesuit ideas may become more criticized as time progresses, due to the current climate surrounding Jesuit priests. Sexual abuse of children by Jesuit priests has not been a secret throughout history, but the Society of Jesus has recently come out with a list of 50 accused priests by name. This has led to termination of positions, frequent investigations, and has added a stigma surrounding the Jesuit Church. Though much of the abuse was done years ago, and some priests have passed, injustices like these can alter the way society sees the Jesuit education and religion, since its ideas have continued across time. Since the Jesuit education often refers to caring for the whole person or personal development, controversies like such can inhibit the reputation and value behind ideas such as Eloquentia Perfecta.
