"Tom Monaghan has the agenda of a right-wing Republican, and he happens to confuse that with the teachings of the Catholic Church," said Richard P. McBrien, a University of Notre Dame theology professor. "I wish he had spent this money the way a really good Catholic would: helping the poor; helping inner-city schools, which are being suffocated through lack of money; helping the aged and the infirm. Those are the teachings of Jesus Christ." As a Catholic, it's comments like this one that absolutely enrage me. I'm sure that a lot of that money that the good members of the Boston Diocese gave every week went to the poor. Oh wait. It went to paying off victims of homosexual priests that took over the Church 30 years ago.

Since Charles Curran was thrown out of the Catholic University of America, McBrien is probably the premiere dissident (aka heretic) theologian in the country. Naturally he served as president of the CTA.
I hadn't realized that Monika Hellwig is now president of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities. It's an indication of how twisted things are when a heretical dissident feminist occupies such a high-profile post.
Needless to say, the NY Times has its own little file of dissident "Catholics," aka useful idiots, and regularly phones them up for comments like these.

And I must add: inner-city schools are not being suffocated through lack of money. DC has one of the top per student expenditures in the nation, and one of the worst school systems. Richard P. McBrien happens to confuse his left-wing Democrat agenda with the teachings of the Catholic Church.

McBrien is most likely himself a left-wing homosexual, bent on turning the Church into some great big gay bar, with bareback "circuit parties" every Sunday, where instead of wafers they pass out ecstacy and Viagra to the leather-clad parishoners who get nasty on the waterbed-covered altar.
Sick freaks.

McBrien is a known liberal. Also, the reason that the Catholic schools in the inner city are dying from lack of funding is because the Church, as much as I love it, is too obstinate when it comes time to calling it quits in a certain neighborhood. Over on the West Side of Manhattan, in the Clinton section, there are multiple Catholic schools and parishes, in areas that because of demographic shifts, have few Catholics anymore. It's mostly impoverished Protestants.

Imagine the field day homosexual priests wil have on this campus. Here consent won't be an issue.
