Something wicked this way comes, and that would be full-blown State persecution. We must take solace in the knowledge that the blood of martyrs nourishes the Church (and she's in desperate need of nourishing). As Pope Pius XII magnificently expressed it, the Church is "empurpled by the sacred blood of martyrs".
Catholic University, it seems to me, should have the same right as the Supreme Court of the US — that is: to refuse to consider cases brought about by people who have “no standing”. It seems to me that a prof at a competing University has NO STANDING! End of story.

I agree-Christianity is increasingly under attack not only in sterile academia— but in the Courts as well.We were taught in Pastoral Ministries 101 back in the 80’s that if a division is noted the best time to resolve it is as soon as possible.
Problem is this division began about 1940 when the supreme Court declared in Cantwell v. Conn. they could use a misconstruction of the 14th Amendment to apply to the States what from 1791 until 1940 had always applied only to the Federal govt. Ten years before my birth this began. In the sixties the minor division became a major breach/slippery slope. And with all the metaphysical refinements and tests of logical skill practiced by a Court cut free of its mooring (in 72 it was the Lemon test—in 84 it was the endorsement test ) Had we the people not been distracted—or asleep we may be in better position than we seem to be.
But such seems par for the course for Americans— we prefer to recline until it affects us personal then we raise up and whup A.
I believe that in this situation much depends on whether CUA receives any federal funding. If they do, then they essentially have to give up most rights to act in accordance with the Catholic faith, and must instead obey federal nondiscrimination laws. That’s one reason Hillsdale doesn’t even accept federal student loans in payment for tuition and fees—that gives them independence to act as they like, as a private institution.
Is this just happenstance, or is someone or some organization funding their tuition?
This is great if they are receiving a truly universal education, but not so good if they are just learning how to be better sleeper agents.
This guy wanted a twofer. Catholics to hate Muslims and Muslims to hate Catholics. Arroyo should have checked this out before asking a question.
When the occupant of the White House won’t see a Catholic or a Christian, we know we are in big trouble.
Pray for a big sweep in 2012!
