I would not have a problem with a nonreligious school recognizing Wiccans as I don't believe government institutions should be legitimizing one faith over another, be it Pagan or not.
However as a Catholic it bothers me that a Catholic University would recognize this group or allow them to have religious activities on campus.
This defies common sense.

I don't think St. Andrews is a Catholic University. The chaplain just happens to be Catholic. And an idiot.

I would assume that this university receives boatloads of public funds, just like nearly all the religion-affiliated universities and colleges in the US. I don't know exactly how British law handles that issue, but they're generally a good deal more socialist than the US.

St Andrews is a normal public university I believe, nothing to do with the Catholic church.
