Very interesting sidebar to this controversy is the fact that SLU went to the State of Missouri for Tax Increment Financing for the new basketball arena. In the subsequent lawsuit, it argued, successfully, that it was not governed by any religious organization. Therefore, if SLU disciplines Coach Majerus at the behest of the Archbishop they may put that TIF in jeopardy.

Fr. Biondi, actually believes himself to be above most authority, so he won’t do anyting.

But it's not the issue of him obeying what the Archbishop says. Every Catholic knows what the teaching on abortion is. It's just crass and stupid to do what he did. No one takes this guy seriously as a moral philosopher. This is a bad joke. Nothing he says or does will affect Roe vs. Wade.

Why he got this bone-headed idea, who knows. Did one of the players on the team impregnate a girlfriend and he's trying to ease his conscience?

No coach at a Catholic university, in his right mind, would take this on. No image consultant would advise this. It's a wild U-turn. It's stupid. Off the radar. Did he have a fall recently? Maybe it's time for an MRI.

Yes, SLU/Burke wants it both ways: non-religious, if it's to their advantage; religious otherwise.
