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.

Another ATD, probably.
There's a difference between what an individual privately thinks, and what they express when they are acting as the representative of their school/leadership. Don't want to be Catholic? Don't agree with it? No problem - don't be. But in the case I mentioned of Mary Daly, she takes her salary from a "Catholic" school, then turns around and condemns the church's teaching at every turn. You don't have to be religious in any sense to see that's outright hypocrisy. And if the church leadership in the area has any sense, they want their message to be consistent.
Also, the point I'm making is about faculty and school/church leadership, not necessarily the students. So this isn't necessarily going to apply to the second part of your post.
But since you and I have different ideas on the church and how to be faithful, we're not going to see eye-to-eye on this. Not a flame, just an observation.
