But don't blame the Catholics. The mainline Protestant schools are pretty much all showing it, also: Texas Christian, Miami, Boston U., Syracuse, Duke, Wesleyan, Southern Methodist, Nazareth, Pacific Lutheran, etc.

How about blaming the Catholics and the mainline Protestants? Emmaus Bible College isn't showing it. I doubt you'll see it at Oral Roberts or Bob Jones universities, either.

Yes, but a "bible college" withstanding the temptations research univesities face isn't all that impressive. It's kind of like applauding the Amish for not watching Sex and the City.

By the way, I did mean to say, "Don't blame JUST the Catholics;" you do have somewhat of a point.

Isn't it amazing that these "heretical" schools whose theology has "no roots in the past" can stand steadfast against modernity so easily while the "infallible and apostolic church" seems indistinguishable from the Unitarian Universalist Association?

While I don't share their theology 100% percent, I will always be grateful that I grew up under the cultural aegis of Bible Belt Fundamentalism. Every other form of chr*stendom is a dead fish rotting from the head down.
