The choice of a mascot is an important decision as it reflects the values, traditions, and culture of the institution. When it comes to choosing a mascot for a Roman Catholic college, there are several factors to consider. First and foremost, the mascot should be in line with Catholic teachings and values. It should represent the virtues and principles that are central to the Catholic faith, such as compassion, justice, and service. One possible option for a Roman Catholic college mascot is the angel.

Сохранить в: Загрузка.| Итог: | From the very birth of the term, Strega ("Witch") has been used with a negative connotation to describe women with powers aimed at harming people. Strega has its etymological origin in the Latin Strix, the owl believed to feed on human blood. Pop culture, books and media alike, also portrayed the witch as an evil character to the point where it became common parlance to address a person deemed evil as a witch. In the last three decades, with the popularization of paganism and Wicca, the term has been reclaimed and somehow sanitized by Pagans who neutrally describe this figure as someone who has the ability to change reality in accordance with the will. In more recent years, with the spread of shamanism, more practitioners start to either renounce the term "witch" in favour of Sciamano/sciamana ("Shaman") or use them both to define themselves. By analysing the discourses that practitioners create around the terms "witch" and "shaman"by means of Paul Johnson’s categories, I will illustrate how both terms manifest a form of indigenization and extending. In conclusion, I will argue that indigenizing and extending may be seen as two aspects of the same phenomenon entailing the opening of cultural borders to the outside, reshaping both the imported and exported cultural elements. |

Another potential mascot for a Roman Catholic college is the saint. Saints are individuals who have lived exemplary lives and are recognized for their holiness and devotion to God. Each college could choose a specific saint as its mascot, based on its particular patron saint or a saint who embodies values that are important to the institution. For example, a college known for its dedication to social justice could choose St. Francis of Assisi as its mascot, while a college focused on education could select St. Thomas Aquinas. In choosing a mascot, it is also important to consider the college's sports teams and athletic identity. The mascot should be able to inspire and energize athletes and fans during games and events. Therefore, it is crucial to strike a balance between the spiritual and athletic aspects of the institution. Overall, a Roman Catholic college mascot should reflect the values, traditions, and mission of the institution. It should be a symbol of faith, service, and unity, and inspire both students and alumni to embrace the Catholic identity of the college..
Reviews for "Examining the Diversity of Roman Catholic College Mascots"
1. Jane Doe - 1/5
I found the choice of a Roman Catholic college mascot to be highly inappropriate and exclusionary. As someone who does not subscribe to any religious beliefs, I felt marginalized by this decision. College mascots should bring people together and foster school spirit, but this choice only served to divide and alienate certain members of the community. I hope the college reconsiders this decision in the future and chooses a mascot that represents all of its students, regardless of their religious backgrounds.
2. John Smith - 2/5
While I understand that the Roman Catholic college mascot choice may have been made with good intentions, it ultimately missed the mark. As a student who identifies as non-religious, I didn't feel any connection to this mascot. It would have been much more inclusive if the college had chosen a mascot that reflected the diverse student body and represented a wide range of values and beliefs. I hope the college administration takes this feedback into consideration and works towards creating a more inclusive and representative mascot in the future.
3. Sarah Johnson - 3/5
As an alumni of this college, I was disappointed by the choice of a Roman Catholic mascot. While I understand that the college has strong ties to its religious roots, I believe a more inclusive mascot choice would have been better. This decision seems to cater only to a specific religious group and may make students from other faiths or non-religious backgrounds feel excluded. As a supporter of this college, I hope they reconsider their mascot choice in order to create a more unified and welcoming environment for all students.
