Common good refers to the wellness beneficial to the
entire society. Most of the literature material we come across
should spread common good. (Walter Ong’s essay on ‘Yeast”
featured in an American magazine in 1990.) fragment As a
writer he was responding to the controversial question for
teachers in Catholic higher education institutions. His main
was question was how such institutions incorporate this vague
?? unclear catholic personality into its system in an effective
way. To explore the relevance of Catholic intellectual tradition
Walter Ong’s essay on “Yeast” reveals a lot of issues this is too
broad – what specifically can you discuss in three pages?
related to Catholic incorporation in the educational system.
Comment by Marianne Raab: Do you mean that all
literature should promote the common good or that we should
only read what does promote the common good?
Personally, Walter Ong’s contribution is mainly to define
the meaning of the term catholic. As a result, what he revealed
incorporates wider ramifictions(XSP) than what was his initial
objective. In addition to his objective he assisted the Catholic
educational institutions to develop their mission. His insight
should fundamentally test our perceptive of what it means to be
a true Christian, a Catholic in today’s world. Ok this is a nice
passage, but you say that this was not originally Ong’s intent..I
disagree.
Walter Ong’s research was to root out the meaning of a
Catholic. Often, most individuals in the society use this
religious word to mean universal. However, according to him

meaning to the Roman Catholic is not universal. He asked why
the Romans used Catholic to mean to mean universal if it is
indeed universal. Instead the Roman borrowed a Greek word to
mean Catholic, their church. Comment by Marianne Raab:

Walter Ong suggests that the life and ministry of the son
of God, Jesus Christ is in line with the Catholic rather than the
general inclusion of everyone, which should be universal. He
describes Jesus’ short parable of “the yeast” written in the book
of Matthew. The parable describes of the Kingdom God to a
lady who bakes bread. The Reign of God is described to be like
yeast, which is added to dough or flour and is later present
“throughout-the-whole” of it. The yeast builds up not destroying
the dough but instead making it firm becoming part of the sweet
final bread. He tries to point out how non-colonial the yeast is.
The yeast results in accepting the ingredients of the dough
which it becomes a part of. In addition, yeast can be transferred
from one dough to another and generally incorporates and
blends into its new surroundings; making the new dough
become some good bread not turning the entire the entire dough
into yeast. Comment by Marianne Raab: Good synthesis.
From theIn the essay of the “Yeast”, yeast works in
collaboration with the other ingredients and it celebrates the
new environment it encounters by leaving it better than it found
it. It clearly shows individuals of what it means to be a Catholic

3. or worldly Christian. The “universal” approach, in the education
system draws a line and is inclusive for those within a certain
demarcation, which has a clear boundary. The church or
Catholic Church is a smaller, leaner boundary showing what is
supposedly the church or the world. The Kingdom of the Lord
should not be a “throughout-the-whole” kind of religion and
word. The Church should be a global inclusive place of worship
and the term catholic should also campaign for global inclusion.
Comment by Marianne Raab: Very nice explanation related
to your prior points Comment by Marianne Raab: Good, you
use your understanding of the reading to form your opinion.
There are many groups of Christians but most of the time
the Roman Catholics often steal the show from all other
Christians. The Roman Catholic dominate over other doctrines
and always appears so due to the large number of followers
worldwide. The Roman Catholic is a special group of Christians
who are being advised to become more “catholic” and
incorporate the entire society of whoever is interested. They are
advised as well to avoid segregating other religions but rather
try to unite for common goals. In the education sector, there
have emerged many Catholic schools and universities. The
Catholic society is trying to spread the Gospel at all levels of
our societies. This type of education system encourages the
reading culture as well as building the spiritual lives of both the
students and education facilitators in the institutions. Many
students are exposed to some religious literature, which assists
them in understanding and broadening their thoughts and
perspective on religion further spreading good will in the
society. Personally, we all need to understand the Church and
what is wrong or right according to religion. We all need to
know what kind of churches we get ourselves into. The church
is the Body of Christ and is a really controversial issue. The
Body of Christ should jointly unite the entire universe.
Regardless of one’s doctrine of faith we should all strive to
make the world a better place. Very nice conclusion and prior
passage ….You do need to reference the idea that you are

4. responding to the Yeast article as you explore the concepts in
this passage. Also, your entire essay would benefit from a more
focused thesis. As you reread your essay, you will see that
there are specific concepts you focus on and that these could be
the foundation of your thesis.
Also, you do not offer any documentation, as the assignment
requires. You must incorporate in text citations for the
paraphrased material and your writing would benefit from the
inclusion of significant quotes. Where is your Works Cited??
