Crisis has been declining in quality for some time. Hudson should not have been entrusted with such a prominent and public leadership position with that kind of problem in his background. Seems like they need to work on the vetting procedures at Crisis just like in the chanceries and seminaries. A tragi-comic farce.
God can do the forgiving. Converts who jockey for position and power in church institutions need to be screened more carefully just like the clergy.
Crisis should return back to more what it was like in the '80s when it had a real edge under the name Catholicism in Crisis. McInerny, Novak, and Schall did a good job with the product back then.
The church as a whole needs to get back in touch with real Catholicism and real Catholic intellectual culture.
