Not a surprise. Catholic universities and Catholic hospitals long ago stopped being Catholic, in any real sense of the term. Like the colleges, the hospitals traded off their Catholicism for federal money.

For some, you're right. On the other hand, some hospitals are still overtly Catholic. St. Margaret Mercy (Lake County, Indiana), has an adoration chapel & plays the Angelus over their intercom 3x a day.

I would be pleased if the new Pope and the RC church would require these people to remove any reference to or implication that they are affiliated with church.

And the remark about federal money is spot on. President Bush wants all religious charities to be subject of government regulations.
