Apparently basketball and heresy correlate well with each other, for some reason. 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.

And yet none of the solidly Calvinist colleges aren't on the list: Master's College, Covenant College, Calvin College.

You can hide behind the fact that Mainstream Proddie (read secular) colleges have it scheduled, or just face up to the fact that the who's who of RC schools are has it on tap.

Funny thing: None of the solidly Catholic schools are on the list, either!

Franciscan University? Not on the list.

Christendom College? Not on the list.

Ave Maria University? Not on the list.

Magdalen College? Not on the list.

Mount St. Mary's? Not on the list.

University of Dallas? Not on the list.

Duquesne? Not on the list.

Xavier University? Not on the list.

University of Dayton? Not on/stricken from the list

Marquette? stricken from the list.

This is just a small list ... there are a whole lot more Catholic colleges in the USA. They're not on the v-monologues list.

Never heard of them? So what? I've never heard of "Master's College", "Covenant College", or "Calvin College".

That any allegely Christian college, of any sort would host this piece of pornography is scandalous. Of course, the total apostacy of America's originally Protestant universities (Yale, Harvard, etc.) is also scandalous.

Pride is one of the seven deadly sins.

Just so's you know.

Who's who of has-been CINO schools is more like it.

>> And yet none of the solidly Calvinist colleges aren't on the list: Master's College, Covenant College, Calvin College. <<

Now you are using circular reasoning: The "solidly" Calvinist schools are solid. You're eliminating from your subject pool any example which will not pass the test. If you reject Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist schools which are no longer "solidly" Calvinist, why shouldn't I eliminate from discussion Catholic schools which aren't "solidly" Catholic? And there is a very objective test for "solidly" Catholic: a mandatum. And schools with a Catholic mandatum are *very* solid.

I also would not that none of the "solidly" Calvinist colleges you list offers any doctoral program at all (at least as of the publishing of my 1997 almanac). Not that in any way means they do not have excellent undergraduate programs, but I'll remind you the germ of this debate is the pressures of universities to compromise with worldly influences in the pursuit of a reputation. No program, no temptation.

And actually, aside from BC and Georgetown, all those schools have been on the decline, basketball-wise.
