How about Michael Eric Dyson, anti-Catholic pundit and professor at Georgetown?

I think the base measure of a Catholic University should be whether its professors are anti-catholic.

I agree with Jeff Miller - torture is intrinsically evil and anyone who advocates it should not be teaching at a Catholic university. So from that point of view I have no problem with the firing. On the other hand, I’m sure there are also a lot of pro-choice professors at Georgetown, and to not fire them, too is extremely hypocritical. I think Jeff is right that Georgetown would be almost empty if they got rid of all dissenters.

This part bothered me: “Perhaps most seriously, he was a central figure in the dissemination of false justifications for the illegal invasion of Iraq.” Most seriously? I think his support of torture, which is intrinsically evil, is far more serious than his support of the war. Whether a particular war is just is a prudential judgment. Personally, I do not think the Iraq war was just, and I think it’s a bit of stretch for Catholics to try to square it with Just War theory, but technically they are not sinning by doing so.

We have a visiting priest at our liberal parish. He does the 7AM daily Mass now. In his homilies he has actually told the congregation that Catholics should stand against gay marraige. He has said that, if anything, the government should be informed by the mind of the church, not the other way around. Sometimes he so clearly teaches the Truths of Catholic Faith that our society cannot bear to hear, that I wonder if he is ALLOWED to say THAT! But there is never a murmer from the aging congregation. No one complains or puts him down. In fact, our pastor has said that if HE were to make the same strong defence of Catholic moral teaching, he'd be in for it. How can this be? The visiting priest is a very black man from Africa. Liberals are all about appearances and never about the TRUTH! The know the liberal rule: never critisize a minority. The US is a HUGE mission field for these strong men of color! Maybe the Truth will take root.

To Anthony's question "Is Georgetown Catholic?" Dunno! But they did take down all Crucifixi that hung on classroom walls some time ago.

Jeff,
couldn't agree more. But I just don't like how it's one sided and has nothing to do with Catholicism.

Is Georgetown Catholic?

While it is quite hypocritical of them I won't lose any sleep over the letting go. Whether they are dissidents on the right or the left they should not be teaching at a Catholic University. Torture is an intrinsic evil so justifying it is supporting evil if that is indeed what he did.

If Georgetown got rid of all dissenters it would be almost empty.

Hypocrites!

Liberalism is far from liberal – more mealy, if you ask me.

From *Encarta:

liberal person: somebody who favors tolerance or open-mindedness.

I think my new label for them will simply be leftists or delusionalists.
