What I find interesting in this squalid little tale is how seriously some people take these websites and bloggers of the fever swamps of the Catholic Right Wing, including Catholic colleges. Of course, Franciscan University at Steubenville is one of these "churchy" schools where one has to wonder what kind of education students are getting there. I doubt that 50-60 credits of theology will get you far in today's tech economy. This episode also gives the lie to that sector of the Catholic commentators that trashed the Civilts Cattolica  article that broadsides wing nuts like Church Militant, on the grounds that they were marginal actors  with little following. How's that idea working out after the Bratten Weiss firing, or non-renewal, or whatever you want to call it?
