...Although currently not a recognized student group, the HRC has successfully run a campaign of sending strongly worded letters and e-mails to the College’s administration, urging them to step down or accept the consequences of the oppressed people’s rage. They have yet to receive a response...
Doctrinally, however, the Apocrypha were a dead end in the Western church. Their creativity was a liability. The 4th century church father Jerome called them "deliria." Although Eastern Orthodoxy continues to accept Joseph's prior marriage and children, in the West, Jerome doubly secured Mary's virginity by proposing that Joseph too was a virgin and that Jesus' siblings were cousins, a view still held by most Roman Catholics.

Unlike most corporate law firms, the military must exist. But Congress shouldn’t force schools to accept a discriminatory institution just because the institution is necessary. HLS’s policy isn’t a statement about whether the military should exist; it’s a statement about discrimination. If the Catholic Church wanted to hire a group of straight Catholics to serve the poor...
