He was on Larry King when that anti-Catholic flap erputed a few years ago and I heard him say it. Maybe it changed since you were there. Maybe it changed after he said it.

Borges: Maybe Bob Jones III never said it on Larry King or anywhere else. Maybe someone who actually attended BJU knows what she studied there. Maybe BJU ought not to be teaching Tennessee Williams. There are entire libraries out there to study and neither Bob Jones University nor Thomas Aquinas College (as two examples) need waste their students' time on Tennesee Williams. "Stellaaaaa...."

This is one Catholic, BTW, who is determined not to be offended by religious disagreements which educational institutions of reformed Christians and their leaders may have with my Church. That there is disagreement is understood and ought not to be a source of friction. I think that Bob Jones the First was wrong about Al Smith but I would not for a moment have expected him to lie in his time to make my Catholic forbears feel warm and fuzzy.

I do note that much progress has been made toward personal reconciliation between serious Catholics and serious Evangelicals (without theological concessions either way) and I look forward to more.
