Dear AnAmericanMother,
It's also interesting that some of the looneys that the author names - Rembert Weakland, Richard O'Brien, etc. - are folks who are already passing from the scene.
I have a friend who is a professor at the Catholic University of America, in philosophy. He tells me that the heretical old guard is still doing their best to hang on. However, they've mostly lost their grip in the philosophy department, and their hold in the theology department is beginning to slip, as well. The movement to orthodoxy is already set in place, as the large bulk of the younger faculty are charter memberes of the Ratzinger Fan Club.

The young guard do seem to be very orthodox (we have kinda aligned ourselves with them - even though we're old and creaky.)
The article is somewhat dated (early 90s I think). So you can subsitute names I am sure. Mahoney for Weakland etc...
