Pope Francis laments American universities that are ‘too liberal’ and ‘only train technicians’

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Did he use the continental definition of liberal?

I imagine he used the Peronist definition.

Liberal = Milei?

No, Francis and Milei are buddies now, in a me-and-Vosem sort of way. Liberal = Vivek Ramaswamy.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

(I'm going to ignore his use of "liberal" which is confusing)

Is he saying that American universities focus too much on job skills and not on a broad renaissance education? Isn't it the opposite?

That's the orthodoxy throughout most of the American education policy chattering classes, yes. Francis disagrees with them.
