#1 This is the only time these people have cited Pope John Paul II on anything, the Rev. Paul McNellis, an adjunct professor in the B.C. philosophy department, told The Boston Globe.

-Now that is funny.

In the case of Summers where he made a statement based off of empirical studies, people were quick to accuse him of propagating that men were somehow superior to women in a congnitive sense. I never got that impression from him. I felt he was just bringing forth information that could be looked further into. If he thought the study was wrong or something I could see apologizing. However, from what I remember of it I would have never apologized for hurting someone's feelings based purely off of scientific research. It reminded me of when Copernicus was trying to talk astronomy w/the church without really talking astronomy w/the church. Welcome to America in the 21st century - where thin skinned weaklings look to be offended.

#2 This is hilarious - a bitch bigot femnist who REFUSED to allow men in her classes and refused to teach them is trying to use Church doctrine (far out of context - and in a heterdoxical, syncretists and heretical way I might add) to beat up political people she doesnt like.

Whats next? Quoting Limbaugh?

#3 A May 8 statement by Jesuit Father William Leahy, Boston College president, reconfirmed that Rice would be honored at commencement ceremonies.
"I recognize that some are not in favor of Dr. Rice's selection, but I and many others judge that she is an appropriate honorary degree recipient and graduation speaker for Boston College," said Father Leahy.

Leahy's a major mover and shaker up here.
The lefties can save their breath. If he wants it to happen, it's a done deal.

#4 Many of the great Catholic Colleges of the 50's like B.C., Villanova, Georgetown and Notre Dame are becoming,if not already, Catholic in name only. They resent John Paul II's "Ex Corde Ecclesia" which reminded them of the Catholic University's special place in the life of the Church. I have a couple of "academic" friends who teach at a very expensive Catholic high school here in Southern Califrnia. One is Catholic the other is Protestant. They were both enraged by our Bishop putting pressure on the school to have a Catholic as head of the religion and theology department. They had an Evangelical Protestant as department head. The nerve of that bishop! They seem to think that the further they stray from Catholicism the more acceptable they will be to the academic community in general.

#5 Princess Ida: Women of Adamant, fair Neophytes
Who thirst for such instruction as we give,
Attend, while I unfold a parable.
The elephant is mightier than Man,
Yet Man subdues him. Why? The elephant
Is elephantine everywhere but here, (tapping her forehead)
And Man, whose brain is to the elephants
As Womans brain to Mans - (thats rule of three),
Conquers the foolish giant of the woods,
As Woman, in her turn, shall conquer Man.
The narrow-minded pedant still believes
That two and two make four! Why, we can prove,
We women household drudges as we are
That two and two make five or three or seven;
Or five-and-twenty, if the case demands!
Diplomacy? The wiliest diplomat
Is absolutely helpless in our hands.
He wheedles monarchs Woman wheedles him!
Logic? Why, tyrant Man himself admits
Its a waste of time to argue with a woman!
Then we excel in social qualities:
Though man professes that he holds our sex
In utter scorn, I venture to believe
Hed rather pass the day with one of you,
Than with five hundred of his fellow-men!
In all things we excel. Believing this,
A hundred maidens here have sworn to place
Their feet upon his neck. If we succeed,
Well treat him better than he treated us
