Case in point: Professor Mary Daly. Self-professed witch. Tenured faculty.
Now that Cardinal Law has been removed from this seat, we'll see whether O'Malley straightens this out or not

IMHO, if they're going to call themselves a Catholic school w/ Catholic criteria, etc, then stick to it. Tinkle or get off the potty. Permitting double standards - espousing Catholic teaching, but not upholding it (see point above) is damaging to the Catholics who really do try to stay faithful.

I don't think there's anything wrong with having non-Catholics on the faculty - we have several professed atheists, Buddhists, etc. To me it doesn't matter if my economics professor believes in God or not, so long as the cross stays on the wall. He just needs to believe in the market and we'll be fine. I don't think the majority of Catholic college students attend them to be better Catholics - many of them aren't Catholic themselves. They come for a good education.
