Very troubling that the President is reportedly "contemptuous" of Mt. St. Mary's Catholic identity and emphasis. I don't know any of the *names* mentioned here, or any *issues* beyond what the article sketches out, but it does sound like MSM's President is more into the bottom line (money) and not the actual mission, the very raison d'etre of Mt. St. Mary's, which is Catholic intellectual, social and spiritual formation.
And "the Mount" has long had a respected (by me) reputation of being Catholic with a capital C--- one of the few.
“the Mount has long had a respected (by me) reputation of being Catholic with a capital C-— one of the few.”
Our parish raises money to help support seminarians at The Mount. In speaking to them over the years, they always spoke very highly of the school and often said it was the best Catholic Seminary in the entire U.S.
This article, while very short on details and what actually happened, is troubling.
