Editor's Ouster is Only the Beginning

This New York Times article was a fun read. "'Pope Benedict XVI is clearly attending to lots of administrative and housekeeping concerns in the church,' the Rev. Joseph Koterski, the chairman of the philosophy department at Fordham University in New York City, said Friday. As for Father Reese's removal, Father Koterski said: 'There's a great desire for clarity about church teaching. A religious magazine that offers itself as a Catholic magazine does have to have clarity about what the church holds and why it holds it, and not simply be a lobbying force for changing position.'" Amen to that! But the best quote was from the Rev. Robert Drinan, who could only say "oh, boy" when learning that Archbishop Levada was selected to take over the position formerly held by Pope Benedict XVI.

Those who promote the "dictatorship of relativism" have no spider holes in which to hide.
