One of the professions of the Nicene Creed, the statement of the faith which the University of Scranton is committed to leading students into, is "We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church." Of course there are are other articles of faith that the University of Scranton is committed to that are expressed in the Apostles' and Nicene creeds, such as belief in three Persons in God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, that the Son became also human, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, etc., but all of these articles of faith are taught by the Roman Catholic Church.

"Spirituality" is an ambiguous term. Satan, the Father of Lies, is a spirit, and one should have no trust in him. The University of Scranton's commitment to education in faith implies that it is commited to lead one to trust in the Holy Spirit, who is the Person who is Love, the Love between God the Father and God the Son, and Who is the Spirit that animates the Mystical Body of Christ and thus inspires the Roman Catholic Church and gives its teaching infallibility. The activity of the Holy Spirit is the spirituality which the University of Scranton is committed to leading its students to trust.

As Socrates pointed out in the Crito, after his experience of Athenian democracy, it is not wise to have faith in the majority when they are ignorant. Faith in the Roman Catholic church is not faith in the opinion of the majority of baptized Cathoics, but faith in the Holy Spirit who gives the Church its teaching. For example, the majority of Roman Catholics in the United States disagree with their Church's teaching on the evil of contraception and same-sex marriage (which Pope Francis called "a machination of the Father of lies.) The majority of Roman Catholics should not be trusted when they disagree with their Church's ordinary teaching on faith and morals.

The United States government is committed by the First Amendment to the Constitution not to take positions on matters of religion, so it has no specifically religious position in which to have religious faith. As for ethics, the government of the state can be trusted when it agrees with educated conscience that suicide and rape are always wrong, but should not be trusted with the ignorant positions of approving of contraception, homosexual genital activity, and abortion. In order to educate to true faith about moral ac tivitry, the University of Scranton is committed to leading its students to recognize the truth of the Roman Catholic faith with respect to God and moral activity.

Not if faith in oneself is not identified with the faith which is trust in God. Jeremiah 17:5 Thus says the LORD: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man
and makes flesh his arm, whose heart turns away from the LORD.
