Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 285145, member: 780"] There's absolutely no doubt that the criticism of doctrine and practice isn't mostly internal to the Church. As Catholics, Its what we do. But the New York Times and Washington Post will be glad to complain about the ordination of women as priests and the like to try and pick a fight in a race in which they don't have a horse. I doubt there's a lot of overt Catholic haters left. But neither do I believe that there isn't still quite a bit of latent bias. You cannot be as commited to your church and its doctrines as the southern protestants are and not feel there's not something wrong with another viewpoint. ND is run by priests. Not academic administrators. Not MBA's, But priests. And their calculus --- as you know --- is different. And their roots are in the Midwest. [/QUOTE]
