continue at The Reluctant TraditionalistNow that Rep. Paul Ryan is the vice-presidential candidate in the upcoming election, this follow-up to my last posting is all the more timely. The background to all of this is an article that Prof. Dan Maguire wrote, entitled "When Religion is a Refuge for Scoundrels", in which he criticized Rep. Paul Ryan's recent federal government budget proposals. The professor cloaked himself in the mantle of Catholicism to go after Ryan, even though he himself takes numerous positions contrary to the teaching of the Catholic Church. I heard Maguire on Wisconsin Public Radio and it is this interview that really sparked my interest.
This is not intended to be a defense of Paul Ryan's policies. Rather, it is meant to highlight the intellectual bankruptcy of Maguire's criticism of Ryan.

The real scandal is not Maguire, but rather the archbishops that allow him to teach at "Catholic" Marquette.
Both Dolan and Literski act as though Maguire does no harm to young souls. (Do they believe in Hell? I can't tell). While Maquire has tenure at MU, that is not the archbishops' problem. That's for the university to have to work out a settlement.
I think it's high time that the Jesuits were suppressed in America.
