After the big hoohaw at University of San Francisco (spring semester 2001}when father Privette made some high handed,arrogant and worldly manipulations that effectively deconstructed the Ignatius Institute,a haven of orthodoxy on that csmpus,the University of Dallas made some similar moves.I think it involved the Department of Theology which to that point had presented Catholic Truth as core.

I think the President called the changes an attempt to integrate theology into the greater university's mission,or some such code talk that means water down the Church teachings and serve worldly gruel. I believe that most of the faculty left for another Catholic University. I read about all this in several different places and there was a lot of anger as conservative,orthodox Catholics saw another bastion fall prey to the "progressives".

I was shocked that people who live in the area didn't bring this information forward in this present discussion. Surely they must have known.And the poor faculty member at the seminary who thinks Bishop Bruskewitz pulled out his seminarians because he wanted them exposed to the Tridentine Mass. While I am sure that was a factor,I bet if he searched he would learn that much more is involved.IMHO.

You will note eventually that all of Sinkspur's comments are from an individual who is mostlyCatholic--but has a VERY hard time being orthodox.

None of his good buddies at the Dallas seminary can explain why B. has his own seminary in lower noplace: Lincoln.

I can, as can you.

By the way, the Pope has to approve a new seminary. Get the hint??
