R Michael McGowanMichael McGowan firmly holds that modern, mainstream "higher education" degrees, with few exceptions, are worthless, and so he has chosen not to get one. However, he has studied philosophy and theology for two years at an institution outside the maintream, which he chooses not to name. Otherwise he is an autodidact. He believes that the only real proof of education is to show what you know. He taught Latin at the high school and college level for 15 years, preferring the viva voce style. He's conversant in Spanish, and has a reading knowledge of French. His great interest is philosophy and theology, and his favorite source is St. Thomas, which he always reads in the Latin, as he finds all translations inadequate. Read More Read Less
