Kreeft makes a point you, no doubt, agree with, but you've still got to nit-pick him to death over something he didn't have a thing to do with and likely disapproved of.

Some of you trads, like some pro-lifers I know, make the good the enemy of the perfect.

You don't know me well enough to be making assumptions and generalizations, so don't. Stick to banging the "I want married priests" drum and embalming the dead.

If this academic thinks that BC is a top Catholic university, he's an idiot and if you think that by pointing that out that I'm nitpicking him to death then you're more of an idiot than you lead people to believe you are.

As sitetest has already pointed out, BC is a top Catholic university, your personal opinion notwithstanding.

You're a bit touchy. This is just a website, Smedley. We're not doing brain surgery here, of which you provide ample proof.

I guess your just going to turn this post into something else other than glorification of the Eucharist. I wish you'd stop.

Dear Smedleybutler,

I understand your point that BC may not effectively transmit the Catholic faith. To the degree that the school doesn't authentically live its Catholic identiy, you have a valid point.

However, though it may not meet your criteria of a "top Catholic university", it certainly meets such criteria as generally understood. Mr. Kreeft certainly isn't an idiot for saying what is true; that by generally-accepted standards, Boston College is one of the top Catholic universities in the country.
