Fr. Z's alternate theory may have some foundation, but it can't erase the Aquinas College president's statement, ("There are no words that are able to reverse the harm that has been caused by these comments") -- referring to Sr. Jane Dominic's comments --- still on their website.

So she's accused of practically irreparable harm --- even though the Chancellor of the Diocese said there was nothing in her talk that was opposed to Catholic faith and morals --- and they're treating the kids as if they would have to be trauma-counseled after an attack by a deranged rifleman.

And basically the Aquinas President Sr. Mary Sarah suppressed her as a speaker and teacher, and exiled her into long silence as if she were a serial buggerer like Marcial Maciel.

Oh dear, that does sound very bad indeed.

Sometimes you do more harm than good rushing to make an abject apology.

Our archbishop tied himself up into knots apologizing for a perfectly good business decision, and his course of action is going to waste a whole lot more money than was spent in the first place.

Sometimes I wish our ordinaries were less like Casper Milquetoast and more like "Dagger John" Hughes. THERE was a bishop with a backbone and to spare (even if he was more than a little scary, he was highly effective.)

He would have excommunicated the whole lot of them, with a generous helping of fire and brimstone on the side.
