...defense of Harris's performance, Susan MacManus, political professor and analyst from the University of South Florida in Tampa, notes that Harris has labored under the stress of her father's death, surgery for an ovarian mass, the undermining by her own party and a certain amount of political sexism...

"This is not a gathering of experts on evolution and creation called in to advise the Holy Father," he told TIME shortly after his arrival in Rome. "This is just a former professor having an informal gathering with his old students. There has never been a subgroup that produced a document. We've never issued a statement...
