Magdalen College has built its approach to student life on the foundation of Catholic teaching about human nature and purpose, which itself draws upon classical philosophical anthropology and the personalist philosophy of Pope Saint John Paul II. While the principles remain unchanged, the application of these principles develop over time and the college continually seeks to improve the services it provides to its students and the quality of our common life. This is done in part by reflecting on our own historical experience as an institution as well as learning from our peer institutions. The written principles and policies that guide student life are available in the Magdalen College Student Handbook 2023-2024.

Some scenes from a very blessed Holy Week at Magdalen College. Thank you to Mr. Tristan Smith and all the students and alumni who sang in the choir and helped to celebrate with us, and thanks to Fr. Rocker, Fr. Traynor, Deacon Cooper, and the altar servers for the beautiful liturgies. Christus Resurrexit!

Will the chapel remain consecrated and functional after the college closes? It's heartbreaking to see you go!! I hope the chapel will remain for local faithful.
Magdalen‘s running club turned in an impressive performance at the St. Paddy’s 5K/10K race in Portsmouth, NH. Danny and Anna both won their divisions, and Tommy, Antonio, Faustyna, Ave, and Aden all finished in the top 7 in theirs. Congrats to Danny on finishing 4th overall in the race!

Congrats! Impressive
Magdalen students recently set up over 1,000 crosses on campus in honor of their commitment to work for a culture of life. The crosses help to showcase the large number of pre-born humans killed each day by abortion.

Magdalen brought home the trophy in the final annual volleyball game against Thomas More College. Congratulations to all the students who participated in this co-ed tournament and who cheered on their classmates with terrific school spirit. Thanks to Thomas More for the fun competition.

I’m still sad about the news. I sent a DM with no response
I wonder if many of the students will transfer to Thomas More next fall. Bittersweet.
Students recently explored beautiful Franconia, NH, including a breakfast at Polly’s Pancake Parlor, a snowy hike at Cannon Mountain, and dinner at the Presby home. Special thanks to Aden Presby for leading this trip!

Looks like fun! 😊
(B.A. Bible/Biology)* ALTHOUGH I AM a conservative Christian (Reformed Baptist), I no longer believe that the Bible teaches or supports the traditional doctrine of hell with its teaching of eternal torment or suffering. The Bible does teach eternal punishment, but it's not eternal torment. Those in hell will suffer in proportion to their individual sins, some worse than others, but the ultimate and eternal punishment or penalty for sin itself is the eternal literal death of soul and body (the eternal loss to life and immortality), not eternal torment. The Scripture teaches that God’s wrath in hell is not an end in itself but a means to an end, that end being eternal destruction, not eternal torment. God is just but not cruel. Eternal torment is not necessary to satisfy God's eternal justice. God will not allow sin to exist eternally by keeping sinners alive for eternity in hell. In my popular Internet article, TRADITIONAL DOCTRINE OF HELL EVOLVED FROM GREEK ROOTS (Just do a Google search of the title or search for the title in Medium[dot]com), I explain how and why teaching of eternal torment entered early into Christianity and how Scripture passages have been misinterpreted and taken out of context to support that teaching. There have been good Christians through the centuries who have held to this view including Isaac Watts, author of the classic Christian hymn "When I Survey The Wondrous Cross." Do you realize that the word “forever” in Scripture doesn’t always mean eternity? Then, what else can it mean? Read the article. If the Bible really doesn’t teach eternal torment and suffering then how do you explain reading in the Bible about “unquenchable fire,” “eternal fire,” “eternal punishment,” “eternal damnation,” “eternal judgment,” the account by Jesus of the Rich Man and Lazarus, etc.? Again, you need to read the article. You will find in the article Biblical answers to many questions on the subject of hell (including what 99.9% of all Christians do not realize, understand, and know regarding Jesus’ account of the Rich Man and Lazarus). Find out why science supports there are limits to evolution (biological variations) in nature and why nature is not capable of overcoming those limits. Read my popular Internet article, NATURAL LIMITS OF EVOLUTION. Google search the title to access the article or go to Medium[dot]com and access the article. * I am a former Hindu converted to Christianity. I have my B.A. with dual concentrations in Bible and Biology from Bob Jones University and completed two years of full-time graduate study in law at Western New England University School of Law. I have given successful lectures (with question and answer period afterwards) defending creation before evolutionist science faculty and students at various colleges and universities. I have been privileged to be recognized in the 24th edition of Marquis "Who's Who in The East" for my writings on religion and science.
Sane?
